0:28
construction of complex track network
0:32
components such as switches and cross
0:34
crossings for railway infrastructure
0:37
projects and they are contracted to
0:39
supply materials for projects like
0:42
HS2 So we'll have a look what it looks
0:44
like from the outside and put the drone
0:46
up It looks like quite an interesting
0:49
interesting site We are just across the
0:51
road at the
0:53
moment Having a look down the delivery
0:55
entrance Wait for this car to
1:02

2:51
find interesting on my journeys around
2:52
the country All right So mainly I'm in
2:55
Doncaster for a couple days I drove past
2:58
it I stop to get a drink and uh to have
3:01
a look Very good It's involved in big
3:03
projects like the HS2 network
3:06
So that's
3:17
it Just a curious member of the
3:22
public I
3:25
will have a walk down class works where
3:29
and have a look at some more stuff in
3:30
the yard take my bike with me to lock it
3:39
all It is a shared road with other
3:42
businesses and there is no
3:46
barriers to stop pedestrians walking
3:48
down and the path does continue on all
3:51
the way down to the big gates at the
3:56
bottom There's the security booth
3:59
Blacked out windows Load of high vis
4:00
hung
4:02
up All the windows are blacked
4:05
out Might be one
4:07
way viewable
4:10
plastic Just screen in like your window
4:12
tints
4:37
We have got a big open
4:40
gate There's a couple of staff members
4:43
about So we'll pack the bike
4:46
up and put some cameras through the
4:50
gates into the
4:51
yard
5:03
Again a big list of sight walls The main
5:06
reception where we were just near that
5:07
crane and we have
5:10
got all the rail tracks and
5:13
crossings played
5:16
about But that is a very interesting
5:19
place Massive
5:21
open open
5:35
expanse Everybody in the PPE got a
5:39
fortlift truck
5:40
there They've got security cameras
5:42
everywhere With it being HS2 site it
5:44
needs to be fully
5:47
secured
5:50
Right we'll carry on down the
5:54
road He got his hat
5:57
on Coming down the road and see what
5:59
else we can see
6:25
on these tracks just going by There's an
6:28
information on them saying UK
6:32
knows and where they going I think that
6:34
one's for
6:35
Warington I assume it is with it vote on
6:38
it
6:45
[Music]
6:48
Can't see any writing on that
6:51
one like location wise
7:17
[Music]
7:22
They have got some portaloos down this
7:24
end of the
7:26
site They have got some port loos on
7:28
this end of the site for the staff if
7:29
they're working up this way So they have
7:31
to trek all the way back to the head
7:32
office We're not going to put the camera
7:34
on some port
7:37
lose That's not what we're
7:41
about Got a staff member over there
7:43
cracking away working We're not going to
7:46
disturb him
8:15
[Music]
8:20
[Music]
8:32
I'm not sure if down that bottom end is
8:35
the same company No that's to do with
8:37
the environmental environment agency
8:39
down
8:40
there
8:43
So park the bike
8:49
here Have a look with what we can see
8:51
with the camera
8:56
I think this will look pretty cool on
8:57
the
9:02
drone The Environment
9:05
Agency is down
9:07
there So their facility ends at that
9:12
fence Loads of tracks and concrete
9:15
sleepers It looks
9:17
like they have got some big pink flood
9:20
lights
9:24
We don't know if they're for use in the
9:25
yard if they're working night shifts or
9:27
to ship out on site so they can work in
9:29
the
9:33
dark Big telly
9:40
handler There's your man
9:42
working The toilets are down there
9:44
somewhere Oh they're just there But
9:47
that's that's all they're getting
9:56
Right So that's everything from the
9:59
outside perimeter that we can
10:01
see So I'm going to go back to the front
10:05
entrance and put the drone
10:10
up And if the airspace is
10:13
