Cromer to Sheringham and Holt – Hastings DEMU cab ride – 23 July 2016
Weybourne Wanderer: Cab view from Cromer to Sheringham and along the full length of the North Norfolk Railway to Holt. Filmed from our preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 23 July 2016, during the outward leg of our Weybourne Wanderer railtour.
.
In this video we cover all 9 miles of track that still exist from the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway’s 180-mile network. We begin at Cromer and run the 3 miles and 50 chains to Sheringham, beyond which the line was closed by BR in 1964. A replacement station was opened in 1967, slightly closer to Cromer, which allowed the level crossing in the town to be closed. However, the original Sheringham station, and the next 5¼ miles of the old line as far as Holt, have been preserved and form the North Norfolk Railway. The closed level crossing was re-opened for occasional (less than one day per month) use in 2010, re-linking the preserved line with the national railway network.
.
We are treated to the spectacle of the level crossing being opened to rail traffic for us, with the barriers consisting of temporary roadworks-style barriers and an impressive throng of onlookers present (see below for a link to the procedure for use of this crossing). Once we’ve called at the old Sheringham station, we proceed along the steeply graded line, through Weybourne and past three fine signal-boxes to the current terminus at Holt.
.
Video footage is from an unattended unmonitored forward-facing cab-camera in motor coach 60116 Mountfield. Audio footage is mostly recorded in the rear cab, because of route-conductor and driver conversing – save for a brief burst at Sheringham that comes from the video-camera’s feed.

The railtour began at Hastings and ran via Tonbridge, Bromley South, Kensington Olympia and the North London Line to Stratford, then the Great Eastern Main Line via Colchester and Ipswich to Norwich; a reversal took us to Cromer where we reversed again. The return route was different, as after Norwich we ran direct to Ely and thence via Cambridge and Royston and up the East Coast Main Line to rejoin the outward route at Camden Road. The outward leg was video-recorded from Stratford to Norwich, however the presence of two members of staff in the cab and our lack of rear-cab audio for that long duration means that it will only ever be published as a silent cab-ride... and not in the immediate future.

Freight at Carlisle 27-07-11 part 2
More footage of Freight workings at Carlisle. Starting with 66418 departing with 4M44 from Mossend to Daventry. Then a couple of minutes later, everyone at the south end hears a loud crash below on the road. 5 seconds later,'You're not going to believe this. He's hit the Bridge!!!!' and we all see a white road truck trying to reverse without much luck. The BTP are there in minutes and everything gets stopped while the truck tries to reverse out and the signallers start rubbernecking out the windows of the power box. During this time, 66057 is stuck in platform 3 with 6K05, 66193 is stuck in platform 4 with 4M63 and 70010 is stuck at a signal at the south end, just before the junction with the M&C lines with 6C16. It's 25 minutes before anything starts moving again, with 4M63 first, the 6C16 and 6K05 at the same time.
Back to normal again, and 66953 arrives in platform 3 with 4S41 from Leeds to Hunterston via Preston and the WCML. To finish part 2, 66597 arrives in platform 1 with another coal train from Yorkshire to Scotland.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A pub, or public house, is an establishment licensed to sell alcoholic drinks, which traditionally include beer (such as ale) and cider. It is a relaxed, social drinking establishment and a prominent part of British, Irish, Breton, New Zealand, Canadian, South African and Australian cultures. In many places, especially in villages, a pub is the focal point of the community. In his 17th-century diary Samuel Pepys described the pub as the heart of England.Pubs can be traced back to Roman taverns, through the Anglo-Saxon alehouse to the development of the tied house system in the 19th century. In 1393, King Richard II of England introduced legislation that pubs had to display a sign outdoors to make them easily visible for passing ale tasters, who would assess the quality of ale sold. Most pubs focus on offering beers, ales and similar drinks. As well, pubs often sell wines, spirits, and soft drinks, meals and snacks. The owner, tenant or manager (licensee) is known as the pub landlord or landlady, or publican. Referred to as their local by regulars, pubs are typically chosen for their proximity to home or work, the availability of a particular beer or ale or a good selection, good food, a social atmosphere, the presence of friends and acquaintances, and the availability of recreational activities such as a darts team, a skittles team, and a pool or snooker table. The pub quiz was established in the UK in the 1970s.
