221132 makes an Emergency Stop at Northallerton

[conkeroonee]

Is WTF as bad as that? I think you'll find worse in other comments pages on YT.

[CharlieeXD]

0:44 those breaks! They're wasted.

[mrmegamaddude]

i was on a pendo and we had to make a emergency stop cuz of a frieght train

[jamesfblaney2007]

Those brakes will be hot.

[davidsweeney111]

Do you go down there everyday? I do at my local on my job seekers!!

[rob123474]

[iJamesPayton]

Did the horn make you jump lol? THe camera shook at the same time lol :) nice vid

[1madaboutguitar]

great vid

[ramtopsman]

This use to happen to them alot when they first introduced them

[GazzerHST]

WTF are virgin doing on the ECML, the only time they are on the EML is at haymarket and edinburgh

[stephensrailways]

@GazzerHST This is when Virgin still had the Cross Country Franchise

[OfficialRyanx]

@GazzerHST Oh deary me.

[jdfi1980]

@GazzerHST is there any need for the language? Its not our fault that your railway knowledge is so limited. My young son is watching this video thank you.

[AllianceB95]

Woow those brakes where realy smoking hot. New Brakedics please :P

[lennox679]

WOW THAT WAS FUCKING EXCELLENT I NEARLY JIZZED MYSELF TWICE.....TRAINSPOTTERS I SHIT EM

[motorbikesrule125]

[trainzrule]

OMG! think of the people on th train getting thrown forward! :O

[FGMsimon]

it's one bloody quick stop !!!



[mrmegamaddude]

@ColzTrainzUK how has this comment been flagged as spam

[ColzTrainzUK]

cant ever stop watching this, i love it, great catch mate, very unusual

[488scooby]

your videoing is crap lol.

[daveallalone]

@488scooby agreed. he/she needs to learn the very basics.

[D9000RoyalScotsGrey]

i think it might have some wheel flats

[michaelsutton1u]

i think the brakes are hot lol

[SittingMooseShaman]

...flat-spots = shakey cup of java.

[TheFsxPilot100]

1:30 / 1:31 LOL

[seanmillerr]

may be the train driver saw those track workers straying onto the track ahead of him,and hit the breaks while swearing very loudly..:)

[FGMsimon]

now THAT is some stop with the c221 ... schmokin' :)

[DanielW118]

How many passengers were piled up in the front coach when he came to rest??????

[Jonnyriffic]

0:12 were they called 'Transpennine Express' before they got their new trains?

[stephensrailways]

@Jonnyriffic It's the 158s that used to work on the Transpennine, as this video was filmed a good 18 months before the new 185s started to appear!

[tom201090]

@Jonnyriffic Transpennie Express has been taken over by First group and is now called First Transpennie Express

[LukeNAESA10]

That is not 221132

[stephensrailways]

@LukeNAESA10 It definately is lol

[94Princesi]

For the driver information pls don't drive to fast it may overrun thanks

[TheBrett59]

put ur tounge on it

[6Andrew6Kearney6]

lol 2:02, it takes 6 of them to sort it

[andyncfcgetshypedup]

Fucking hell that train was travelling at 100mph then it came to a stop with the brakes were smoking very badly.

[daveb0789]

I've applied the emergency brakes on a train. You don't go flying. There may be a jerk as it stops though.

[BritainsRailways]

As anyone who's been in an emergency brake epplication knows, damn, the force of them can be extreme. I've seen people go flying, literally, in my years. xD

[nbusin]

Train driver going on strike!

[jimmydcap]

SSSSMMMMMOOOOK'NNN HOT!! STOP!

[bus140808]

Train drivers get paid 40k a year - you can see y

[strange6]

@bus140808 These Virgin boys get paid more than that. Just over 50 grand i think. very responsible job driving these trains but technology has made life a lot easier for the driver of today, make no mistake.

[mat12128]

fuck me that pulled up quicker than my car! :0

[Coleoidea]

That was probably both terrifying and pretty cool from the inside.

[TINBITZPHAM]

well the brakes didn't fail..

[siw8158]

Working as a guard on these trains day in, day out, they stop very very quick. Scarily, in fact when you do 125mph - 0mph it;s suprisingly quick. You just need to get ready for the BANG as you halt. then get ready for the smell of brakes.Fortunately it's probably happended to me less than 10 times in 7 years and the only causes were 'tilt' dropping out on 221's usually Stafford to Crewe @125 and signal reversion due to 'the little orange men' on the S&T!

[MAPFWH]

Regenerative braking works!! I recall seeing a Spoon at Reading in the Mid 80s have to do a hell of a quick stop, for some reason. Glowing wheelsets made a great picture.

[roodashtonhall2k8]

i think the voyagers passed the breaking test rather well by the looks of that

[DanielW118]

Thats is how to to drop anchor and come to a stop my friends.

I help on a line called the eden valley railway and noone has seen a train stop that quickly!!

[rawrgrr4298]

I didn't think trains could stop that fast!

[andysim232]

nice catch. good brakes too =)

[MyJohn200]

there is another class158 waiting to come up ahead right behind the voyager look after the other voyager and look a bit to the right

[maidenstephen991]

amazing video this is. would the passengers have whiplash if it stopped so sudden?

[douglas1249]

Was it WET

[banjokitten]

I was quite astonished it came to a stop that quickly - must have been doing at least 80mph past the TPC 158 standing at the platform, and yet it came to a stand still just slightly past the end of the platform.

The brakes were smoking - I'm surprised they weren't on fire!

[Yownanymous]

@banjokitten Being a DEMU, it has electric-based braking which is a hell of a lot more effective than normal brakes on diesels.

[metroII]

Train at 1:29 scared me!! Was not paying attention LOL. Nice stop though

[somerandomalex]

when you say signal faliure do meen signsl faliure as in electricity or failiure as signal lights

[VXR8Gav]

Now thats what you call SMOKIN, great vid.

[EWS60500]

Bloody hell those beakes are warm, almost on fire!!!, great catch

[suicideewok]

i loled at the start cos he jumped at the train horn

[HitchinTrains]

hmmm. brake dust :)

[conhopper78]

@HitchinTrains dont breathe this! :)

[Hartsock91]

1:30 The Voyager made you jump ;)?

[4fsake]

Was that Brake automatic, Or did the driver apply it?

They have some sort of automatic brake if they pass a Red signal, don't they?

Thanks for posting.

[Jimified123]

@4fsake Yep, trains have two braking systems, AWS which applys the breaks if the driver doesn't acknowledge which aspect (green, yellow, red) is shown in the signal and TPWS. These apply the breaks automatically when the train is going too fast on approach to a signal of if the train passes the signal at red.

[J4M13DURN3LL]

Wow, is that the train brakes smoking ? !

[Yownanymous]

I imagine the wheels were more square than circular after this happened...

[PJSouthall]

Whats really weird is that the train guys on the Class 158 didn't seem that bothered that the Class 221 made an emergency stop.... I assumed one of guy was a station staff? If it was me, I'd be running across the tracks and making sure everyone was ok. then again I don't work for the railways. Imagine a cup of coffee and a nice looking lady sitting in front of you as you face forward direction!!! ....... mmmmmh!!!!

[letitrollscott]

what wiz on the line

[eufraciovillarreal]

holy dhit that train was fast

[somerandomalex]

what happened to it

[MrDalila]

lol wie er sich erscheckt hat

[PleaseDontBiteMe]

was würdest du machen wenn das ding ausgerechnet paar meter vor dir auf die hupe drückt? :P

[MrDalila]

schon klar! ich finds nur lustig ^^

[georgieporge2]

I thought it was a misty day! those brakes must be glowing.

[Xantec]

given that steel wheels on steel rails doesnt provide much grip, that was one impressive stop!

[skbworld2008]

Some hot wheels there! Ive not seen that before was that 60 to 0 in 5 seconds or something?

Did this delay the line?

[stephensrailways]

This did indeed cause a lot of delays for the rest of the day.

[skbworld2008]

Thats the euston line? Thats always got delays for some reason or another.

[stephensrailways]

No, this Voyager was from Plymouth and was on its was to Edinburgh.

[preston4eva12]

the ECML

[MC2251]

@skbworld2008 No it is not the Euston line, Northalleton is on the Kings Cross line. By the way the Euston line has been upgraded so there ere not as many delays as there used to be, but while the Euston line (WCML) was being upgraded there were many delays due to lots of maintenance.

[GloucesterAdam]

@skbworld2008 that's the King's Cross Line (East Coast). Euston is for West Coast services.

[ProductionsOntrack]

@skbworld2008  110mph to 0mph :D

[banjokitten]

@skbworld2008 125 to 0 in 15 seconds I think...

[williambrodie]

@skbworld2008 That train goes like 100 MPH if its Virgin trains which i think it is

[trainspotter11]

fantastic luck there

[Mytimekid]

Fantastic footage 5* n faved.

[cutterschoicenotmine]

i guess he SPAD then.

[rammergramps]

that was a ripper cath.  I have never seen anything pull up that fast beofre and she was hiking too. I agree sounded sick when it left. What about the orange coats

[321loverdesirohater]

I have a feeling that the TPWS stopped it, not actually the driver.

[v390]

He probs overrided the tpws and stopped it himself so he was in control

[DanielW118]

@v390 Na he'll have just thrown the handle through to emergency without thinking so as to stop asap!!!

[OfficialRyanx]

@DanielW118 I think the official story, is that the trackside workers made the signal turn to red, and as the train passed it became an SPAD.

[Sephy69]

the rear engine sounded bad!!!

[Jerram89]

almost like it's down a cylinder

[Sephy69]

yeah it is. it kinda sounds like its beating 5 times out of 6. i guess the engine is needing a service

[SteamMad]

one new set of break pads please!!

[DanielW118]

@SteamMad One new set of round wheels please

[rorymacve]

Wow, look at those brakes smoulder! He must have really been giving it all its worth!! Great vid m8!

[CasFan76]

MMMMM, just wondering who was working York North workstation that day????

[supremedalek24]

great video well cought

[rachaelmatt]

wow, what had happened to this voyager to make it break like that. Did the driver just 4get he was stopping there or summing?

[465fan]

no, the signal returned to red as he was approaching, for all he cares the points might have switched against him, he had to stop immediately. So, he slows and gives the tone as he approaches the light.

[CRTukker]

And we cant smoke on the train, but the train is smoking tho.

I would call that discrimination lol

[jazzyjaxroadshow]

lol the second voyager that passed made you jump

[walesandwest]

what was the prob after ??

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

Sodding 158s always getting in the way lol!

[mattenigmaevolution]

Didn't like that did it the voyager...looked like it's brakes were cooked!! Didn't sound very healthy pulling away

[maddennis55]

At that speed, to stop that fast, I bet the conductor in the last car must have bounced all the way to the first car! lol

[Danielovich1982]

Diesel high speed trains... rarely interesting.

[midlandspotters]

tht didnt do the brakes any good

[ashdjames]

great video, nice to see a emergency stop for once in the uk

[yorkyboy1992]

In the UK we have ATP on certain trains but it is not a legal requirement .ATC is only used on HighSpeed 1 services running at 140mph however it will be used on the new Hitachi SuperExpress trains being built for introduction on the two prinicpal Main Lines from 2013.ATC and ATP are principally the same except ATP only reduces speed and does not bring the train to a halt.However all trains are fitted with dead man handles incase the drives falls asleep and applies the emergency breaks.

[plymouthrule]

It is for hst trains between Penzance and Paddington

[flippstar09]

leaf on la line that they didnt notice lol .... but seriously sumone could of been hurt .... and they are f-ing gorejus trains pendo better tho x

[carltonmasteur]

Does this line (or others) have ATC (automatic train control)? In the US on commuter railroads like the LIRR, if the operator fails to acknowlege the ATC sounder, or runs a stop signal, the brakes will get dumped into emergency.

[earlbathurst5051]

The current UK systems are:- Dead Man Handle, (AWS) automatic warning system, (ATP) Automatic Train Protection - only on some routes and (TPWS - on the whole network ) Train Protection Warning System - The TPWS would have put the brakes on emergency if the driver hadnt already done so! (This system is similar ATC but less automatic). The UK will soon be upgrading to European Train Control System (ETCS - In use on HS1/2) a in cab system which will allow linespeeds to be increased above 125mph.

[Metalerham]

This 'Dead Man Handle' you are referring to is actually called 'DSD', standing for 'Drivers Safety Device'. On most UK mainline rolling stock, it consists of a Foot Pedal which must be constantly depressed by the driver and then when a 'Vigilance' alarm sounds, it must be released & re-depressed at a preset interval (Every 60secs +/- 2 secs on a HST for example) If the pedal is released or is not reset, a Brake Application occurs. It is more commonly known as 'Viglance' or a 'Dead Mans Pedal'.

[Metalerham]

Also, the UK is not getting ETCS.

It is instead getting 'ERTMS' which stands for 'European Rail Traffic Managment Systems'. It is a differant system from ETCS/ATC.

You are also forgetting DRA 'Drivers Reminder Appliance' , 'TPWS +' & the 'Tripcock' saftey system used by the London Underground & Chiltern Railways DMUS.

My brother is a FGW Engineer.

[earlbathurst5051]

ETCS is a component of ERTMS

[slymills]

:O from 0:45 - 1:15 you can see the smoke pouring out from the brakes!! WHOA!! them brakes must have been cooked!! :S i bet the driver shat himself went that signal changed in front of him!! :S

[1madaboutguitar]

Is that was caused it... the signal? I doubt it. Wouldn't stop that quick although its stopping distance was very impressive none the less

[siy22366]

wots that 158 there for whos i that

[AbbeyLightRailway]

its a First Transpennine Express unit, which kinda dates this video as they have been replaced by 185s for a few years now

[Victorialine67]

the only time you`ll see a 221 clag is when its emergancy brakes are on lol 5 stars

[87002theBEAST]

Na the Cross Country Supers have started to clag a fair bit..! :-) The 220's have got a way to go yet though..they just puff out heat haze atm.. They'll get there though!

87002theBEAST

[Sephy69]

not true. the 220s are clagging a fair bit, infact everything does if you look close enough. but i noticed 220001 is the worst, saw it at newton abbot and man it was smoking!!

[PsyLuke90]

Awesome Vid!

Bet the driver bricked it when that green jumped to red before his eyes!

[pyronathanpyro]

@PsyLuke90 init i wuld ina 66 aswellfuk dat lol

[darrowby1972]

@PsyLuke90 fucking i'll bet!

[msdejesus]

Increfible video, right place right time, I guess. Thanks for sharing it.

Manuel

[robertdcfc]

why did it have to stop lol

[stephensrailways]

The signal failed and suddenly changed to red in front of it, something to do with the what the trackworkers were doing I think

[robertdcfc]

@stephensrailways well good video anyway mate :)

[MyJohn200]

the points must of been the problem o'r the signal loacater

[tom201090]

@stephensrailways shame the class 158 was in the way.

[zapcat1]

it does look like there is a green light flickering on and off above the two red signal lights that face this train's direction of travel which might indicate a malfunction. Considering how fast it stopped, it does look like an automated system probably triggered the emergency brakes.

[mststv]

221 did this today, check the video, he forgot to stop....on with the E Brake !

[shane2k9]

atleast they know the brakes work lol Nice1 5*

[regisfun]

epic vid man ! i love it when the brakes smoke it makes the situation so much more interesting lol

[GaryST220]

Thanks for sharing.

[thetrainguy125]

u could se the brakes smokin!

[spursuk102]

great vid great vid

[stephensrailways]

Thankss!

[midlandspotters]

5 star

[rymer94]

that is rather weird good capture im not suprised the brakes caught fire as there must have been alot of pressure on the brakes the closest to a unit/loco being on fire was 48151 lineside fire :D great vid

[No1Tubefan]

great vid

[2030720310]

Not on fire, just the brakes??

[truckduck065]

nice video, didn't sound too healthy when departing. 5*

[jammiebeasts]

Enough Hi Viz there to make an orange jealous!

[turbostarbasher27]

this is a very good vid

espcially the bit with all smoke coming out of the brakes

[60103Henry]

Great Video, Does Northallerton Station have ticket barriers?

[stephensrailways]

No ticket barriers at Northallerton

[60103Henry]

Good, Thanks! unieque video by the way, never seen anything like it before, 5 Stars!

[89001avocet]

Nice - unusual and well-caught!!

When was this btw. - I notice that's a TPE 158 so at least a few years ago?!

[stephensrailways]

This is March 2005

[Bobcatonline]

Quite a dramatic video. Well caught.

[stephensrailways]

Thanks!

[Doitchampions]

those breaks were hot hot hot...loads of smoke

[Eccles71B]

Brakes. Not breaks.

[Danny55022]

Why did it stop like that?

SPAD?
