Thanks Dambusters for taking the trouble to explain that slipping is normal for a steam locomotive and not the fault of a "useless" driver or bad design! Some of the idiotic comments on other similar videos have to be seen to be believed.

Brilliant!! Thanks for posting. Elkie and Humph were mates for about 40 years. I read recently that after he died she scattered his ashes from a paraglider (as you do)!

What a stupid, drunken, ignorant cow who can't even speak her own language. Apart from the racism, this is why I never, ever travel by public transport if I can help it. The thought of having to breathe the same air as somebody like this disgusts me

@ChazNDaveVideos Each to his/her own. Sandie will be 65 next month and if Imelda May is still performing at that age she has far too much class (and sense) to dress like a 16 year old. When Sandie perfomed with Jools Holland in my part of the world last year the press comments varied between ru...

This has got to be about the best live performance by a female jazz singer ever recorded even though Anita was probably high as a kite at the time! Thanks for posting.

@silver760

No idea why you say it "surely" would have been a US bomber raid. The raid is one of the best known events of WW2 and has been extensively documented (on Wikipedia among others). The big raid which caused the firestorm was by the RAF on the night of 13/14 February 1945. The USAF fle...

Labelwalter, you should disable comments for this sad and moving video. So many are just pathetic and written by people who are clearly sick. I'm British (not "English") and I consider the bombing of Dresden was a war crime. I visited the city recently and I was horrified to see the so-called ...

Nice bit of riding mate. Stay safe

You see it every day - one bloody tree-hugger on a bike thinks he has the right to obstruct a bus carrying 50-60 people because he's being "green". I don't know the rights and wrongs of this incident and frankly I don't give a toss but the sooner cyclists are required (a) to pass a test (b) to h...

Must have amazingly tolerant neighbours!

Fabulous!! Takes me back to my days as a student at Glasgow Uni 1969-1973. These buses used to run on the 10/10A and one of the regular drivers was a woman who looked sixty-ish and always drove wearing big motorcycle-style gauntlets!

Did I miss something? "Aborts takeoff"??? I don't think so. The aircraft never gets anywhere near taking off.

What part of "stand clear of the doors" don't these people understand? The driver was neither careless nor rushing - he was doing his job in a properly professional manner

@goodchappy There is (or was) a standard procedure for dealing with a failed signal. Roughly speaking the driver will be authorised to proceed at less than walking pace until the emergency stop trips and halts the train. He then resets the tripcock on the train and proceeds on his way. A good d...

@Avatar230594 close the regulator briefly to see if the engine will regain its footing with less power and if necessary drop sand on the rails

Very familiar! My cat lost her hearing about a year ago and she's exactly like this only a bit louder.

Good video,thanks for posting.

@ryanhaart It's generally better to keep quiet and let people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and prove it beyond doubt.

Thanks for such a prompt reply. I'm well used to lighting coal fires and what you advise is more or less what I did twice, with dismal results. I'll have another shot soon. Why do you discourage smokeless fuel? Homefire is HETAS approved and Esse make the 100 (and 200 for that matter) to bur...

Best version of JJF ever recorded. Thanks for posting

At different times I am a pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist and car driver. Whatever mode of transport I'm using I try to be considerate to other road users. On the basis of this video I'm 100% with the van driver. Your riding was boorish, arrogant and dangerous which regrettably seems to be t...

@notsukutsu Strictly speaking Wilko Johnson wasn't the lead singer - he was the lead guitarist. Lee Brilleaux who plays harmonica on this track was normally lead singer. Sadly Lee died from cancer in 1994(?)

Pity about the rubbish music. I'd much rather have heard RM sounds - engines, gears, the wonderful noises they made when idling and so on.

@1blastman She was and still is a major star, certainly to her fans. Maybe not as big as Madonna or Beyonce but much more versatile working with the likes of Humphrey Lyttleton and Jools Holland as well as her own band. She's still touring and packing the audiences in at the age of 66.

Joe is wonderful as always but it's Phil Grande's guitar playing which gives me goosebumps. One of the most under-rated players in the business

Much better with the sound turned off

It's amazing that Egon didn't take the rat's (sorry, chihuahua's) head off. Obviously a much more tolerant cat than mine!

Great video. The Abba stand is a thing of beauty and wonder and worth every penny if your bike doesn't have a centre stand. Even basic stuff like lubing the chain becomes so much easier. (No I don't work for Abba, I'm just a very satisfied customer!)

Thanks for posting. Reminds me of 11 years of commuting between Clarkston and Glasgow Central. I remember when the 156s arrived - unbelievable as it may seem today they were a HUGE improvement on the 101s, 107s and other clapped out junk which usually broke down or couldn't get up the hill from...

Brilliant video - real goose-bump inducing sound.

@wattass7 - it's not unusual to get a signal check at this point, especially if there's local traffic in front. I travel the line regularly but usually on a 158 or, if I'm lucky, a 170.

Good old U of S A. Love her to bits!
