  • nice vid,but are all freight trains in the UK this short?

    here in the US we usually run 80 to 100+ cars

  • Pretty much. As our rail system is so cramped, distances between signals are short. As a result, trains are shorter and more frequent. Thanks for watching!

  • Warrington Bank Quay is one hell of a freight hub without a doubt! I've seen a Merseyrail RUS map which shows Warrington Central electrified at 25kv ac overhead from Edge Hill/Hunts Cross. This is on a DfT website, I'm sure. Is this real or are they hallucinating? Is it a proposal, I don't know?
