"A little bit crashy" is now a permanent part of my life.
-
"This is the pixelated face of someone who's having a bad day." That made me laugh. I feel for that dude. And the poor driver of the train being chased - he was probably freaking the hell out on the inside that whole trip, just waiting for the crash. There's something quite nice about a disaster where everything turned out okay. You get the thrills of things going drastically wrong but also the warm fuzzies of it being successfully resolved. Thanks for covering this one!

Many years ago, before this incident, my wife worked on the Northern line's line service centre which also covered the Victoria line part time. At Pimlico, the driver of a northbound Victoria line train left the cab to deal with an issue. The train was impatient and decided to leave on its own. It stopped at Victoria and my wife had to arrange a taxi to take the driver to Victoria to rejoin the train.
-
That poor guy running along the platform definitely yelled, "Balls!"
-
"This is the pixellated face of someone who's having a bad day" LOL!! That cracked me up. 😂😂😂

Wait, your day job involves accident reports? Man, that's pretty close to having something you're passionate about for your day job, my sincere congratulations.
-
Love how you refer to the emergency coupler as "this kind of of train sex toy" - Great video as always! The bit read by Chloe was a pleasant surprise, always love to see collabs between my fave youtubers!
-
I'd unironically watch a video dedicated entirely to explaining signalling, it's one of my favorite parts of train videos!
-
“A little bit crashy” has me chuckling for sure.

Lost a close family member on my Mrs side of the family in a train "accident" on the last day of 2023. Horrific event that has devastated many peoples lives. Don't try and race/beat trains! Just wait the few minutes for the train to pass and keep yourself, others on the road and the innocent train operators safe Edit: for clarity he was one of the innocent train drivers and wasn't the person who was racing/trying to beat the train. That irresponsible fool survived.
-
Typical irony that the immediate cause of the linkage failure was the automatic operation of a safety feature and that the machine careening down the tunnels existed to maintain the rails, again for longer term safety.
-
Runaway trains are something more frequent than you'll think... one such accident happened a few weeks ago in Italy: an high speed train stopped due to a failure, the conductor went down to investigate and forgot to apply the brakes 😮 the train was on a very slight uphill track, so started running back until it hit another train on the line, luckily not very fast. Fun fact: the CEO of the italian railways was on that high speed train 😂 This could be a topic for a future video!
-
I like the driver's reaction to seeing his future employment driving away into the distance on its own 😅
-
An amazing reaction from signalling staff. The London underground is a very busy and restrictive place the fact they managed to stop and maneuver passenger trains around with less than a minute spare in some casesseriously
-
These totally unexpected Chloe - Green Dot - Plainly Difficult crossovers are quite an aural delight.
-
Years ago in summer camp they had a "slow bike race" which was a race where the LAST over the finish line was the winner. The catch was the course was a steep uphill one and putting your feet down or looping round to lose ground were against the rules so a certain momentum was needed to stay upright.
-
Instant recognition of the logo. As a German, we see their equipment casually parked on non-platform tracks at sufficiently-non-busy train stations, waiting for the cover of darkness (in reality, just night break in commuter rail service schedule) to do work nearby. Though iirc the last one I saw was an Unimat (brand of ballast tampers/track fine alignment). Interesting to hear they also service the london underground.
-
As soon as you said "and it happened on a gradient" I was like "why were they even allowed to drive with the brakes inactive on the rear end of the consist?" Turns out they weren't allowed to do so. And this is why we have rules and procedures for this specific situation at work. I'm a train driver for the Belgian Railroad.

Love the surprise cameo from Chloe, love DB and PD so it’s a great collaborative effort! I just heard her voice and had to rewind to confirm then I read the description! Great work John and Chloe!
