The Duke in trouble once again! 12/6/2011 Video

The jinx has struck again on the Duke!

71000 'Duke of Gloucester' was brought in to haul the Torbay Express on June 12th. But once again disaster struck. On the return working from Kingswear to Bristol 71000 developed problems after leaving Exeter. At Stoke Canon the Duke gradually slows to its unusaul coasting speed at around roughly 55/60mph when it usaully does around 70mph.

Following that I recieved a phone call that the Duke had been stopped at Tiverton Loop, apparently the cause of failure was related to the valve gear controlling the supply of steam to the locomotive's cylinders malfunctioned. With that I dashed over to Tiverton Loop at Willand where 71000 is brought to a halt on the Up loop.

3 hours later and in darkness Class 47 No. 47815 'Great Western' arrives to rescue the striken Duke. The pair and their train leave the scene at around 22.15 hours. They wont arrive back at Bristol till around 23.11 hours.

What is happening to the Duke these days?? One problem after another the last 4 years gone!

If anyone can know what was the real cause to the Duke please do not hesitate to comment or send me a message.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
