POV: You are stuck with Eleanor
LNER and AZUMA are my preferred methods of travel when I venture to the UK. Love the videos.
Liked the information panels (learned to pause the video when they come up). About the right length of running time. Very good. Reminds of when I went LNER Kings Cross to Edinburgh a couple of years ago. Very enjoyable first-class accommodation and service.
This is incredibly relaxing! I do wish it was in 60FPS though!
Now this looks impressive. I do like train cab ride videos.
4:55 Why are you still calling it 'Humberside'? Went out of use years ago (except for the police and fire services) and even when it was in place there were plenty of people who refused to use it.
Hey LNER what system do you use which we can hear alerting the driver to the fact they’re nearing the next booked stop and their formation?
We use Greenspeed CDAS at my TOC but it’s a visual guide only. I was impressed when I heard that alert!
Are drivers encouraged to use Speed set? I could hear it being adjusted after passing the speed boards.
Why don’t they give the Location ie junctions crossing points stations etc— other videos do..????..
Absolutely brilliant! I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks LNER, please do more? 🙂
hi there im an aussie i bet i can surprise you UK drivers .. i know how to drive 801/1 train and 395 and 390 and a 387 and 377 then 375 my fav lines are BML,LNWR,SEHS i love to hear from you … thank you for reading this…..
Nice trip. Thx 👍🏾😎
Nice video, except Humberside doesn't exist and hasn't since 1996.
Maybe put the information bar at the top of the screen😊
Thank you from USA. Beautiful, enjoyable, informative, educational, relaxing, great photography and narrative.
Wow! What a fantastic video! Thank you for using mph and miles travelled hahaha so this American doesn't have to convert Kph into mph, hahaha 😆
I just subscribed to your channel as it's the first time I've seen it come across my YouTube feed.
I'm looking forward to watching more!
Well done, gang!! ❤😊
I love these cab rides. Thank you very much indeed. Information panels are superb too.
How do train drivers know when to stop or slow down to stop at stations at night in the dark?
The East Riding of Yorkshire wants a word…
Excellent, thanks for this new addition to your cab rides, I have watched and enjoyed all of the other cab rides you have produced. All of these are enjoyable to me as my youngest son is a driver with LNER based at Doncaster!!👍😊
Lovely run, thank you. Is the maximum cruising speed of 123 mph a tribute to the maximum attained by Mallard during her record run?
Interesting video: thanks for sharing. Until I saw this video my only familiarity with the Doncaster to York route had been through playing a well-known signalling simulation so it is nice to see this route from a different perspective.
Really enjoyed the cab ride.
I also like the comment boxes – however I would like more of them as some of diversions/junctions were not mentioned -.
Adverts every 4 minutes is not good. I read a book. Never look at them.
Why only 123 mph?
