Al's Trainspotting HD

Welcome to Al's Trainspotting HD this channel focuses on Train Spotting mainly in the South West of the UK.
This is the place to be if you like trains!

I don't think I might be posting often but when I get some decent train footage then it might very well be posted.

I have also started to mix up the content with Aircraft Videos on occasion.

    Great shots of two immaculate specials plus good location magic to these locos again. I filmed the two specials arriving at St Erth then on the return leg at Redruth, judging by the problem's GWR had yesterday they were about the only trains to actually arrive very early everything else was really late. Well done great videos I shall put my videos up later. Jim

    Very good video al crosscountry train at par okay you must of been there quite early that day as I know crosscountry trains run early morning and late in the evening, it’s gotta be quite rare to see a steam tour at par because I know most of them only go as far as Plymouth , I will say variety at par is better then Exeter as you still got the added benefit of the castle sets

  • @AlsTrainspottingHD

    Thank you Alex yeah the Cross Country Voyager was a nice bonus for me. As you said only a couple in Cornwall in the morning and late evening so nice bonus on my side. It came through Par just before the steam train arrived like 10 before the steam train so i think the voyager came through at like 14:30 or something as it then does a Penzance to Leeds service in the afternoon out of Cornwall although I think that is only a bonus Cross Country service into Cornwall only at the weekend in the summer months.

    Before Grenfell, LFBs Pre-Determined Attendance (PDA) was 4x pumps but since the Inquiry they have now added: 1. A Turntable Ladder (TL) and 2. LFB policy added a requirement for Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) in the PDA. EDBA isn't carried on pumps but it is carried on Fire Rescue Units (FRUs) - which is the fire appliance filmed from 3:30 to 3:53. Therefore, this appears to be a standard PDA for a reported highrise fire in London. Obviously, the Incident Commander would be "make pumps x" once he's sized the job and/or as the situation develops.

    They aren’t gonna send four pumps, a TL and an FRU to a would-be jumper! And they certainly aren't gonna rock up 'on the bell' to a training exercise! 4x P, 1x TL & 1x FRU is now the srandard PDA to a high-rise shout in London. But, unfortunately, it took the deaths of 73 people before the joke woke, out-of-their-depth management at the UK's consistently worst performing Fire Service to take this sort of incident seriously.
