Train Cab Ride NL / Faulty Track Delay / Leiden - 's Hertogenbosch / SLT Intercity / February 2022

Описание: Welcome on board the 'SprinterCity' from Leiden to 's Hertogenbosch! I call it a SprinterCity because this train runs as Intercity to Utrecht and as sprinter further to 's Hertogenbosch. And also, we take the ride on an SLT (Sprintertype). So! Intercity, Sprinter, SprinterCity, InterSprinter... you name it! Let's take the ride! :D

Side note: the ride was recorded on the 6th of February, not the 8th like the intro says. Also.... At Geldermalsen, Zaltbommel and 's Hertogenbosch we arrive after 2pm. I accidentally added 1pm in the timetable for those stations. Early shifts this week. 😉

0:00 Leiden Centraal
Get on board and lets enjoy the ride! We depart perfectly on time from Leiden.

4:16 Leiden Lammenschans
6:14 Bridge without Overhead Wires
12:37 Alphen aan den Rijn
16:11 Bridge without Overhead Wires
19:50 Bodegraven

23:11 ATB Track Failure
Just after we depart from Bodegraven we stumble upon a fault in the tracks. The code given to the trains speed system gives an error. It shows a speed of maximum 40km/h for a few seconds. From this point on we must drive on sight until the next main signal on the route. And on this line that will take a few kilometers. Of course this causes a delay.

29:03 Main Signal Ahead!
After driving on sight for a while we can finally spot a main signal again. It shows a green light. As soon as we drive past it we can end driving on sight and after the whole train has passed the signal we are allowed to gain speed again. Still in the temporary speed limit zone by the way. Just a little further on the route we can get back on maximum speed again.

31:34 Driving on the Left
From this point on until Utrecht we will drive on the left side because of the construction works going on at Woerden. This weekend only sprinters (or SprinterCity's) are running between Woerden and Utrecht because there's no space for the real intercity's to Rotterdam and The Hague this weekend.

32:50 Woerden
With a 3 minute delay we arrive at Woerden. Let's see if we can get back on schedule now.

39:29 Vleuten
40:30 Utrecht Terwijde
41:11 Utrecht Leidsche Rijn

42:01 Utrecht Centraal
Arrival at Utrecht Central Station. With just a 2 minute plus a few seconds delay. Now it's time to give the train a new ride number. We ran the intercity 8847 Leiden to Utrecht. And now we will be running Sprinter 6047 from Utrecht to 's Hertogenbosch with the same train we arrived with. As you might see we skip a little time in the video.

46:34 Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn
49:25 Utrecht Lunetten
52:51 Houten
55:58 Houten Castellum
1:02:21 Culemborg

1:08:11 Geldermalsen
After arrival at Geldermalsen we skip some time in the video because we need to let an Intercity pass our train (on schedule). Also added some extra video images for you all.

1:16:33 Zaltbommel

1:24:17 's Hertogenbosch
Arrival on our final stop for this video. I hope you have enjoyed this SprinterCity ride from Leiden to 's Hertogenbosch. Let me know what you think of the video and please let your friends know. Thank you all so much for watching. Enjoy your weekend! Cheers!
