Five persons and a dog, 25 seconds, not bad going, really, container trains not known for sprint starts.
Sometimes the starts are less-than-smooth. Even a small jolt can put one off balance, with possible serious results...

Five Darwin Award candidates (and a dog) at Revelstoke. The normal wait for crew change is approx. 5 minutes but these
idpeople don't consider that the relief crew might be a bit snappier than others...- 3

Somewhere in Derbyshire...
The road concerned has a very steep hill, is very narrow and there are no passing places. I would imagine the incidence of stuck HGVs was high enough to prompt the placing of the sign (and the one at the other end)...

Brilliant video from Network Rail just published - turn up the sound!
When you wrote 'tun up the sound', I was expecting to hear the sounds of the trains and the waves crashing against the shore, not weird and overly-dramatic music...

Yes, I think we just accepted that it would carry on but I just find it amusing that there's more American stuff than UK (reflection of the actual numbers probably) so just thought I'd introduce some European into the equation!

Any trip to Horwich ( or elsewhere ) would have been one way at that date ! .............. oh - by the way, rab, it's an EMU !
Looks like that unit is ready for its last journey - open doors on the first vehicle, and the last one is the wrong way round for normal service...

One evening four of us bagged the second class compartment in a 4CIG on a late Victoria-Brighton/Ore service which split at Haywards Heath. The usual thing was to be woken up by the 60' track on the Ouse Valley viaduct ready to fall out of the train at the Heath and make our way home. One evening we didn't and were woken up by the carriage cleaners in Ore sidings. We later discovered that CWR had been laid on the viaduct between this trip and the previous similar one...
