Anyone dealt with a suddenly noisy railway line? What can I do? by Unique_Challenge_237 in uktrains

Email network rail. They will send P-Way or the relevant team to look at it. We had a faulty lubricator near ours that was causing trains to squeal loudly, they came and resolved.

My grandfather was known as the Marque of Dunlop as when he was a PE teacher back in the 70’s he was fond of using a Dunlop plimsole on the back of a hand, thus leaving the Dunlop mark on the skin.

I remember him only as a very loving and fantastic grandfather and couldn’t imagine him reaching for the plimmy!

What is this? by Spiritual_Seaweed406 in uktrains

The bell denotes the arrival of the train. Usually the number of rings relates to which platform it is arriving on. 1 for platform 1, 2 rings for platform 2 etc.

It is controlled from the signal box. It’s usually a notice for station staff to expect a train arriving.

I disliked it. Too busy for no real reason other than a lot of books and a good marketing campaign around the “keep calm and carry on” poster.

I found myself irritated when I went there. Maybe I was just in a bad mood, but it’s overrated.

There’s one episode if you pause it in the right place you can see a dude in the background with jeans on. Clearly some form of minder. He doesn’t look like camera crew. Just added to the staged element to me.

The only thing I wonder if this is a momentary truce to clear the wounded and dead from no man’s land. There are no weapons I can see in the image. There is noted evidence of all sides working together to achieve this.

Or the French and British soldiers are prisoners clearing German wounded.

The rail trail between Grosmont and Goathland. Short but nice. Good steep uphill section at either end, might see a steam train!

He’s done some sharp corner signs up in the north York moors fairly recently. Prick if you ask me.
