time i leave the room. I must have spent over 30 hours slumped in an armchair or laid on his floor at night just to try get him to sleep. This is putting strain on me and my wife who are unable to share the night feeds as a result, and thus we are both becoming exhausted.

As a driver of regular commuter services and the occasional express service, you may think we only drive 2 coach sets with the occasional 4. Infact, there is a few regular 8 coach services in my neck of the woods, but for operational reasons, this is not in passenger service.

It simply dwarfs the platforms and given the techn we have, you can only open 1 door or all doors. 1 door isnt practical so ECS it is. Only stopping at Newcastle, Darlington and Middlesbrough for crew changes. Video sped up x2 Taken whilst travelling passenger as a crew member.

..my manager who asks me to give the horn a good old blast as i pass Shildon signalbox as our guest is having a tour. So i adhere to this and give it a good blast of High/Low/High/Low and get some magnificent waves back. Back at Darlington I hand back to my colleague to finish..
