It seems my connection went so my post didn't appear, if the mods could delete the corrupted threads that would be great.

This is quite funny:

Interesting, but I couldn't make out what was said over the engine noise!

Fair play driver? lets hope his manager doesn't look at that!

Knew it wouldn't be long!

Lets not!

"This week, I've been mostly... [on your mama]"

(The, 'this week, I've been mostly' is the clearest, the rest sounds like 'on your mama' to me)

 

[KA4C]

Knew it wouldn't be long!

Oh dear, too late, his manager has seen it

 

[SPADTrap]

Oh dear, too late, his manager has seen it

Hope they had a laugh?

Depends on the bloody fall out, don't it? his manager might have been here before

With all due respect, he did that in front of a webcam because he knew it was there, if you're trying to blame his manager's discovery of this on me because I posted a link to it here:

Get a grip and get real.

 

[Darandio]

He was actually doing a duty, making sure the camera wasn't on Network Rail property.

Stopping the train due to a possible defect "they can block lines with their presence".

Don't be silly, I haven't blamed his managers discovery of this on you, get a grip will you

 

[SPADTrap]

Just what it sounded like, what else can "His manager might have been here before" mean?

If I have misunderstood, I sincerely apologise!!.

What are you on about?

 

[Darandio]

So the manager saw it then? Or you immediately fired off an email? Or?

 

[SPADTrap]

What are you on about?

It's a test train...it's a quote from one of the NR staff on board the train..

I was making an excuse, as a joke, don't worry.

Because his manager has had to protect his drivers from such things before, when those in the ivory tower spot something and the phones get red hot

I see what you mean now. Like I said I apologise!

Yes he did

I know its a test train, UTU 1 and SGT heading to Penzance via various branch lines

Also I suspect a Test train is riddled with cameras and GPS

 

[CallySleeperKid]

Whilst working 3Q01 Exeter Riverside N.Y. to Penzance, the driver of Network Rail's 31233 pulls up at Dawlish Beach Cam, gets out his seat, opens the door and has a word with the cam, before calmly closing the door, sitting down and thrashing away towards Dawlish......... Watch and enjoy, but what is he saying?

"This week I've been mostly eating..... " no idea what though!

Based on Jesse's Diets from The Fast Show. (if any forum members reading this have no idea what that is, you haven't lived!)

Exactly what I've been thinking. Fair play to the driver for having an excellent sense of humour - those test train jobs can be a rather tedious nights driving around the network!

Now, what has driver Jesse been eating this week? Peds was one thing that's been bounded around the net!

"Wagamama". Not keen myself as it seems too much like a glorified pot noodle to my taste, but my sister swears by them.

Fair play to the driver though. Needed a chuckle

 

[455driver]

i can see him being hauled up in front of the boss and being asked what the flip did he think he was doing!

Whether the boss will be able to keep a straight face while asking the question I couldnt say!
If you dont find it funny then you have no sense of humour, I think its funny as hell!

 

[westcoaster]

Is there two people in the cab looks like it. Fair play to him.

Somebody said that wireless Trackcams, his words not mine, play havoc with Network Rail testing equipment. Don't know if he is wrong or right though. And why did he talk to a webcam, it's not going to answer back?

 

[RailCam]

Speaking as one of the admins at RailCam.co.uk, I can confirm that NONE of our cameras are wireless capable. A couple of years ago, we had a visit from a NR man, who inspected the setup and agreed that it posed no problem.
