(Vid 98) Pendolino Cab Ride on a southbound West Midlands diversion.

This is basically a run in the opposite direction of Vid 97.

We leave Wolverhampton turning sharp left then right over a canal bridge in our Pendolino, pass through 'Biscit' and then turn right at Perry Barr Junctions, pass a sports field with loud tones for the foot crossing access, head up the steep incline to Soho Junction and finally turn sharp left for Birmingham New Street.

And another nice cab ride from you, David. Thumbs up!

Like you know, we have in Germany the "P" signs for "Pfeiffen" (whistling).

Do you have something similar in Britain to show the engineers when to whistle?

@megatwingo Thank you Ingo for that, Yes we do have boards / indicators, They are 'SW'' = sound whistle or just plain 'W' = whistle. In a future 'fueherstandfahrt' I will try an include one but I'm sure there is one in both these 2 vids protecting the same foot crossing.

Personally I find Cab Ride's incredibly interesting. You learn exactly about the sorts of things the drivers cope with every journey, and I quite like re-enacting them in virtual means!

@MrFinchfield Thank you for that.

And I am one of them, my upbringing was of travelling in class 117's on the Western Region and watching the driver at work through the partition glass.

Thank you Patrick for that.
