Is this voyager going too fast?

[razourlight962]

Recorded a voyager going through Kingsknowe Station, and thought it was going a bit too fast. The speed limit through there is 90, if I'm not mistaken.

If it was I'm pretty sure the black box on board would have flagged it. With No sound it's hard to tell if it's speeding or if it's a framerate issue (recorded at 25 played back at 30 for example)

What are you using to film?

Looks fine to me. definitely not exceeding 90.

Just a pretty old camera, not really sure of the specifications, as it belonged to a friend.
The camera doesn't record sound at all, I've looked through the settings.

So if 90 mph is about 40 meters/sec, it would take a 112m 5 car Voyager about 2.8 seconds to pass a fixed point at 90mph, so looks about right to me!

That was really helpful, thanks!

I suppose to be totally scientific, you should edit the video down to the points at which it passes the level crossing, then repeat that (say) 10 times, time that, and divide it by ten

Is there enough info in RealTimeTrains to analyse the sectional timings to get a rough idea of speed?

Good way of getting your viewing count up a bit!

Would taking the honest approach of just asking nicely be even better?

The rate of coach going past relative to the person seems a bit more than 90, looks like 120. Voyagers coaches are longer than 365's for example. And that going through - the passing coach rate seems faster than that of a 100mph 365.
Or any 100mph train (379. etc)

Kingsknowe looks to be 70mph in either direction, unless I've misread the Sectional Appendix...

Make and model would be helpful.

Sorry, as I was borrowing it from a friend, I can't check the brand or model right now, will ask him as soon as possible though.
