EMR Aurora ECML Tests & Signalling Chaos! : Marholm, 19th March 2024

My first view of an East Midlands Railway Aurora with 810001 doing several test runs on the ECML at Marholm on this visit. There's were also four LNER Class 91s in service and a number of freight workings, and everything was going to plan until one of these(4L13)crossed over the ECML into Peterborough GBRf Yard after which all the signals on the mainlines failed on Red. This resulted in all passenger services being moved onto the Slow lines and one service(1A29)having to reverse back North before returning back South. 810001 finally passed for a fourth time almost 90 minutes late.
Filmed on 19th March 2024.

    Thank you very much. Bit of a long one this time, but had to be to show what happened.

    I've always wondered why the up Stamford isn't electrified and at the odd 3 + 2 track layout. To me it would have made sense to add a fourth track to the mainline when they were building the dive-under. Nice video by the way and informative too!

    Thanks very much. Not a lot of point electrifying the Up Stamford as it would only be a short section from Helpston Junction to Peterborough and mean any electric traction would have to cross over the ECML lines and then back over again for just a handful of miles.

    Thanks Darren. At least there was a method of keeping the trains running. Also, it was interesting to see EMR running pairs of 158s to and from Norwich - is that now 'standard'?

    I presume the pairing of 158s was because the Hope Valley was closed for engineering works, so the services only ran between Sheffield and Norwich instead of the usual Liverpool to Norwich with the units splitting at Nottingham.

    Great video footage as always, but I do prefer the non commentary versions. Sorry.

    No worries, all feedback is welcome. I thought I'd do commentary on this one as there was a lot to explain - next two movies will have captions. Thanks.

    @MrDeltic15 It's nothing personal. I just prefer titles rather than commentary. Look forward to the next video

    I don't have a decent mic for adding voice recording on post-production, and actually it was too loud and distorted the first time I tried. This was something I was testing out rather than my usual captions. Maybe actually have some videos and do some commentary on them yourself first though before complaining about others.
