Not that often you see catch points actually catch something!

[clagghead]

what is that stupid clicking noise off the camaer?

[beast66606]

@clagghead It's the still cameras taking pics, can't be avoided - as it says on my channel ;>)

[TheMinime9100]

is that the birkenhead north merseyrail depot

[TheMinime9100]

i saw that train passing through i thought it was my train in till it shown the derailed bit

[TheMinime9100]

how many cars was the train and also the other train that rescued it

[LCPC001]

@TheMinime9100: the derailed train was only 3 cars long and the one that recovered it was also 3 cars, merseyrail units are only 3 cars and thet attach to form 6 cars for long services.

So does anything actually happen before 2:20. I started watching and then fast-forwarded until something actually moved...

[beast66606]

@beeble2003 You mean aside from all the guys getting ready for the movement ? I guess the answer is No - but not everyone needs a movement in the video to show something of interest.

[beeble2003]

@beast66606 Well if by "getting ready for the movement" you mean "standing around and occasionally pointing at something"... We can't hear what they're saying and none of them ever even approaches the train closer than the nearest rail. Nothing of any note happens. Obviously, you're free to post whatever you want and I'm free to watch it or not but I don't see any reason for posting the first half of this vid.

[beast66606]

@beeble2003 Thanks for your comments - now we've heard your whines perhaps yopu would not bother watching any more of my stuff ?

[mpwelk]

@beast66606 I think I have to agree with beebie on this one. You've got good railfan videos, but put a little more in to them and avoid the dead stuff.

[clagghead]

I saw it happen! from the station

[gibbs0151]

30 to 60 minutes earlier and you would have seen me under that train fitting bars so that could be recovered

[CeTrains]

All the camera shots! lol sounds like 10 million guns going off! 5* great catch

[howarth004]

O dear!!!!

[MrScousetom]

Local news said it was a handbrake fault that caused it to roll away?

[roden81]

I believe someone forgot to apply the handbrake

[beast66606]

Fitter working on the unit, shoes should have been removed but were raised, one dropped, touched the juice and off it went !

[barrowmanmadsdad]

Pity you never got th next bit

[barrowmanmadsdad]

Where did you et the date from

[euroews66]

woah, nice video poor unit

[Javelin395]

Poor unit! If those trick points weren't there, the train would have just gone speeding down the line god knows what to hit.... at speed. Glad it is now sorted out... but what about the train...

[video47]

I hear a Volvo B7TL at 2:30

[JORDANRICE07]

palatines and myleniums were spotted on it yesterday

[BritishRailKid507027]

eh proper buses Paletines n Myllenniums arnt they!

[PoliceAndTrainMadNat]

did you come across this or hear that it had happened?

[beast66606]

It was on the local news, went over to get some still shots and the rescue units arrived so got a video of part of the recovery - pure luck.

[PoliceAndTrainMadNat]

oh right, you got a great shot of it all

[HSTHoward]

snappy"
