London Underground Bakeroo Line 1972 Stock & Piccadilly Line 1973 Stock Trains

While on a city break of London, I decided to venture out on the London Underground to do some filming, particularly focusing on the Bakerloo Line 1972 stock trains, with occasional appearances of the Piccadilly Line 1973 stock trains a Piccadilly Circus. I decided to focus on these trains more since they're both over 50 years old, and are both the oldest trains still operating in the UK. In th...

As a nice gesture from Irish Rail, they repainted the first set, 2601 & 2602 in the original 'Arrow' livery from 1994, which in my opinion looks absolutely stunning...

    Brilliant compilation and nice to see the turntable at Rosslare Harbour looking so well. It's still a disgrace that the rail head was moved away from the integrated ferry terminal, about fifteen years ago now, and of course that the direct services from Limerick and Waterford ceased! P.S. I hope that video on the quays in Wexford wasn't shot from a left-hand drive car😅

Holy cow, I didn't think a 201 could fit on that turn table, how did the table cope with the weight of the 201, my brain was thinking wow they are going to turn her, but why as dual cab modern era diesel electric loco would they need to! Would love to do that trip some day on a proper steam train.

    Fascinating on several counts:- Coaches with seats at the windows- reminiscent of the days when train travel was comfortable and you could watch the scenery! The coaches looked like they had B4 bogies. Were they British built? Do they belong to the RPSI or were they chartered? When I saw the turntable, for a moment I thought that they were going to turn a twin-cabbed loco. I hope that the tour was a success- the weather was good and the route looked very interesting.

    Just a shame there was no steam loco pulling the train. Seems obvious (besides cost) but wouldn't the Irish Steam Preservation society not benefit from running an auxiliary push-pull GM diesel on the back. Or even acquire a battery powered tenders ?

    • @theaccountofmine.8779
      @theaccountofmine.8779 15 дней назад

      It’s literally the one line with a turn table at the end, so why push-pull? If it’s in the event of a failure, I think the money could be spent than building a battery tender. “Here’s enough funding to have an auxiliary system because we know you’re going to fail.” Yeah, I’d rather they just sort their crap out instead, like learning how to communicate properly during failures.

    4:03 looking at these particular Irish trains from a U.K. perspective on the Clonsilla/M3 Parkway line, these may need refurbishment and/or replacement in the next few years - they do look and smell a bit worse for wear on the outside and the interiors could do with some attention as well - the newer trains are quite pleasant, even in standard class, but I would be prepared to pay extra for first class on longer journeys out of Dublin, such as Dublin to Belfast or Dublin to Cork/Tralee

    @michaeljohndennis2231 20 дней назад

    I’d love to see a LUAS service operating from the Irish Ferries & Stena Terminals at Dublin Port via Dublin Docklands and a direct train service operating via the M3 Parkway line to Navan (when it gets extended) as I live in Manchester and have family in Dunshaughlin, currently using SailRail via Chester & Holyhead - I don’t expect to see ferry services operating from Salford Quays or Liverpool to Dublin any time soon, nor do I expect to see a high speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin any time soon either, given the failure of HS2 here in the U.K. - the very reason that Irish railways are so successful compared to the U.K. is because they have not been privatised and because the Welsh government have engaged in leftist restrictive practices that are holding progress on the U.K. railways back which I have seen at first hand in my 23 years living in the U.K., so it is a joy to come home to Ireland to see proper railways run properly
