hi mate. great vid. i live not too far away from the spur line which runs from the rye-ashford line. have never seen this train running down to dungeness. i thought that the line was disused. do they run very often?

[rbnoremac]

@traffic71 Hey :), Thanks for the comment! The train normally runs once a week! Not sure on which day though as I haven't seen it in a while. :)



[TheMatty1012]

@rbnoremac hiya :D great video, i know the driver of the train (my uncle) and it is confidential information to tell you what time it runs but it will either be tuesday/wednsday/thursday/frid­ay (usally thursday) another peice of information for the coment by sqareiftheyearFM you don't know what is in the flasks, the govenment do a lot of work to keping those flasks safe, some have the real radoactive waste in. DRS also run decoy trains. (if it has more than one flask it is usally the real thing)

[TheArsebiscuits]

Ps, I am suprised they did not challenge you for filming such a sensitive train.

[TheArsebiscuits]

Is Lydd town a disused mainline station?

[zombiesonacid]

@hstscotsman I did!

[zombiesonacid]

@hstscotsman It is Utter shite, I lmao when I read peoples reponses to it. Particularly yours!

[ewsiscrap]

The train has just stopped at a TMO cossing. (Trainman operated crossing.)

He opens the xing gates then when safe calls the train through.

The train then stops to pick the Trainman up.

As it is signle line, the token will be on the loco.

There is a Xing like this on the Rylstone Branch Skipton, UK.

I have operated that xing many times with the Ryl/con stone train.

I could not see any SAS men in the back cab. Only the guard and he was fast asleep.

totally bozDRS

[juterman]

wut is that?

[SquareoftheyearFM]

Great vid, love 20's except when they butchered one for the James Bond film. I'd feel a bit more comfortable if there were more security with the flask, even if it were empty.

[rbnoremac]

I agree, there should be a bit more security on the flasks. There would be big trouble if one was hijacked!

Thanks for the comment!!!

[zombiesonacid]

There is at least two armed S.A.S personal on board these things, and the train is satelite tracked. Thats quite a lot of security.

[DrLanceAngry]

SAS? huh?

[Xantec]

@DrLanceAngry

Army Special forces, the uk answer to delta force, Navy SEALS. the SAS is the ELITE of the British army

[DrLanceAngry]

@Xantec Hi, yes, i know who the SAS are, I'm from the UK :-)

It was just that i doubt that the train had SAS people on it. That's not to say i know that there aren't SAS people on it, but i just doubt it. :-)

bye for now.
