Trains at Newbury (NBY) 28/08/2024 - Berks & Hants Line
My first visit to Newbury. I wasn't expecting a great deal, but it turned out a nice little session. Just the one passenger company operating out of Newbury, GWR. Included is a little bit of freight including a double header.
New for this video were some shots of the station, most of the train footage was taken from platform 1. My visit lasted just under two hours before heading back to Reading to catch my train home.

Basingstoke 👉 ua-cam.com/video/sTr40zmKknY/v-deo.html
Verdict: Better than expected, time the day and times right and you will see a fair bit of freight. Good for fast line action with good sightlines especially towards the East from Platform 2. Would recommend for a beginner, as you have time in between trains to note your numbers and set up for next train.

Locomotives at LEAMINGTON SPA (21/08/24), Chiltern Main Line
Переглядів 98День тому
In this video you will see class 37, 59, 66's, 68's & 70's locomotives. In my opinion, Leamington is the number 1 spot for filming freight and other loco moves on the Chiltern Main Line. Do you agree?

With two platforms, two through lines, and great lines of sight this is a great station for action. This is the highlights of a two hour session, all recorded from the southern end of platform 2.

    It's weird to me that the 800s don't tilt... Isn't that going to increase travel times slightly on the WCML? I mean the trains they're replacing were able to tilt.

    • @spectrumtrains
      @spectrumtrains 4 місяці тому

      I am not sure about journey times, but the advantage is the change to bi mode to aide partial running on electric where overhead exsists instead of running class 221 on diesel the whole route.

    • @hornbytrainsets
      @hornbytrainsets 4 місяці тому

      @spectrumtrains of course, and that stuff is great, but it just seems like a small backwards step? Maybe I'm overthinking but the Voyagers weren't made to tilt just for decoration, it's just weird the replacement trains can't so the same

    A lot of people like to slag off the 800 series trains, but I think they are actually impressive Bi-mode trains and far better than vomiters being generally quieter even on Diesel. A lot negativity revolves around the seats but the 805's will have different seats, the livery is quite striking, better seating capacity than 221's and eliminate a lot of Diesel running.

    • @spectrumtrains
      @spectrumtrains 5 місяців тому

      Hi Dylan, I usually travel by trains to my destinations, so I have a valid ticket and reason to be on the platform. Occasionally in some locations security guards or welfare staff will come and talk to you to see if you are okay, but normally they are fine with taking video, photos or trainspotting. If you live local and don't have a rail ticket try talking to local staff at the station or the information desk and they may allow you to go on the platform.
