Here's a clip of a driver from one of the biking forums I frequent.

Vid taken by a couple of "spotters" near Cross Gates Leeds.

I really think it's cool as feck biggrin

Any southerners got a Train horn playing "Knees up mother Brown"?

I have heard a first-generation DMU manage to produce three distinct notes from a two-note horn, presumably because the driver somehow managed to press the lever in a funny way.

I used to commute from Wakefield to the ever glamorous Huddersfield and, on arriving, you'd quite often hear a rendition of On Ilkley Moor Bah't 'At from our train!

Wow what a glorious commute biggrin Taking in the glories of Horbury, Thornhill Lees and Ravensthorpe frown

Wonder if it was the same lad driving the train? I'll Ask him if he does that route.

Makes me smile everytime I watch it smile
