- A superb afternoons session spent at Nottingham on the Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from East Midlands Railway, Cross Country, Northern and freight from GBRF and DB Cargo UK.
This wasn't the original station that first served the town of Nottingham. The first station was Carrington Street Station and was opened in 1839 when the Midland Counties Railway opened their line from Nottingham to Derby, the old station sites on the sight where the Magistrates Court now resides.
The current station wasn't opened until 1848 when the Midlands Counties Railway merged with two other companies to create the Midland Railway. As a result of the various companies coming together and the resulting increase in traffic it meant that the old station was no longer fit for purpose, so a new station had to be built at the current sight to accommodate the growing levels in traffic.
There was an accident at the station in 1896 when a loco was running light engine through the station tender first and collided with a stationary freight train. The freight train in question had six empty fish wagons in its consist, during the collision one of the wagons was thrown off the rails and collided with an cast iron support for the station roof which subsequently caused a 94 ft section of the roof to collapse onto the platforms and some of the track.
In the early 1900's the station was redesigned and made larger to accommodate many more trains and passengers. With the re-design having been completed in 1904, the various work to the station was billed at roughly £1 Million which in todays money would be around £108.2 Million.
During the time that the station was under the control of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) the station was the target of an IRA bombing, along with several other stations including, Leicester, Derby, Birmingham, Stoke, Coventry, Leamington Spa and Stafford. It was discovered that a bomb had been left in a suitcase on the station was detonated at 6:30am, the glass roof of the cloakroom and the inquiry office were blown away in the explosion.
In 2004 the NET (Nottingham Express Transit) opened its line with the terminus being Nottingham station for quite some time. The bridge that the trams currently run on was part of the old Great Central Mainline, a lot of the tram route runs on the same surface.
The station went through several remodeling phases throughout the remainder of the 21st century until it got to its current format we all know today.
In 2018 there was a huge fire that tore through a large section of the station was required the attention of over 10 fire engines and 60 firefighters to try and tackle the blaze. The fire was later established to been caused by a 34 year old woman who had set fire to a bin whilst trying to use Heroin and Crack. After the fire had been dealt with East Midlands Trains renamed one of their HST power cars (43467) to 'Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and British Transport Police Nottingham'
My next station will be Carlisle on the West Coast Mainline.

lovely station to spot at, just isn't the same without that familiar sound of an HST coming & going.
This is a great station to come to, it would have been nice to have had the HSTs coming and going but then that's down to me for not coming here more often when they were in operation
I love Nottingham it is a very welcoming city full of nice attractions like the old market Square and the castle
And I've had a lot of nice girls chatting to me. Omg I am honestly flattered
I love Nottingham railway station, sooooo maaaanyyy fond and amazing memories made there. My favorite train was service to London SP -made many journeys with it during my Wrasmus staty in Nottingham at 2022.I miss you Nottingham soo much . 😊
14:12 ❤❤❤ big love to that train 🚆
@@olgamariaborowska3453 I'm sure Nottingham would love to have you back 😊
Thanks for the mention. It was my wife and I who stopped to chat after we got off the Lincoln to Leicester service. Great to meet you at last, we always enjoy your videos.
You're more than welcome and it was lovely to have met you both :)
Nice train compilation. Best regards from Croatia! 🤗🇭🇷
Britain's got the world's most beautiful Rail stations and Nottingham is one example. THX
It certainly has some character to it for sure
Yes definitely it is 😊
brilliant video glad to see you come back to this station after so many years
Thanks very much, this is a great station to come to, I must come back here more often
Thanks for another great vlog. You've just reminded me. Very rarely and a long,long time ago now I got the train from Leicester to Nottingham to get the train to Skegness.
Me to
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
Nice to see Nottingham looking better these days. Having moved over to the other side of the border I don’t go there much now but being a regular user in the early 90’s it really did look like a complete dump. I see the old foot bridge to the east of the station has gone along with one of the through lines.
Great video.
Thanks very much
Great video at Nottingham I love you read out the hazard symbol on the tanker wagons
Thanks very much, I do have a knack for pointing out the obvious haha
Great video mate. I got to love sheds when they power up the station is amazing and a clag as well
Thanks very much, there are a few 66's that do put down some good clag when they pull away
Im off to Nottingham on the 18th February. I'm going there for a weekend.
Re the train lengths: It's really funny especially if you think of the Netherlands, where the InterCity train sets (the double decker ones, somewhat InterRegio hybrids if you will) usually are six cars long, at least. If I'm not mistaken.
And (local) Sprinter sets are starting to get even longer.
When you look at the European rail network compared to the English network we really are in a right mess over here haha
Great video, BTW phoenix Park is a park and ride and Hucknall is just a small town, the city is best. I used to live in Notts, but never went spotting there as wasn't into it much plus I was in school, but its on my list to visit, just for the trains.
Great video
Thanks very much :)
23:29 the train stopped a lot further down the platform from where the dispatcher was
Also! Ratcliffe power station (the one that the freight went to) is the power station adjacent to East Midlands Parkway.
I just found it slightly odd that there was a train dispatcher telling the trains where to stop when I would have thought that the trains would have a pre-designated stopping location on the station. Much like every station in the UK really. I actually never knew that the Ratcliffe Power Station was the one near to East Midlands Parkway.
35:02 Under CDGR, the UN code tells you what each tanker has on board. 1202 means diesel or gas oil (red diesel), 1203 means petrol and 1223 means Kerosene. Road tankers carry the same markings under ADR.
Thank you for letting me know :)
I believe the EMR 156's are now transferring to Northern.
great work mate!
Thanks very much!!
😀 to the great tornado, this vido was great from the start to it finsh, then as it start you went mad trying to get the words out, but it did not work. by the way my name is sue ellen woodward, . my husband, where just having a drink when you started ,this is the best one yet. know i have 2 item to ask you if i may, 1, how do you get to all the stations you do from your home in the uk?,2 item is on the one you did at cardiff, you said you where going to do one at shrewsbury station, has it been done yet, or is it for a later date,. tornado please keep all what you do as a hobby ,it great for people like me and orthers that can not do what you do. thank you so much for your vidio.
Awesome video as always buddy from Alan Shelley
Thanks very much :)
Excellent video there Tornado from my local station even if it isn't the same without the HST's! If you'd have chosen to be on the Midland Mainline before the HST withdrawal, of which their last day in service was on 15.10.2021, you would have seen 43102 (43302) in the Intercity Swallow livery and 43274 in the new East Midlands Railway livery! Funny how 222003 brought you in from Leicester! I will have to say that the 180's are nice trains but I just hate their brakes! The 156's in the interim East Midlands Railway livery are from Greater Anglia but soon to move over to Northern and the three car 170's in the full East Midlands Railway livery are from ScotRail while the two car variations in the same livery are from London Midland/West Midlands Railway with the exception of one from Transport for Wales at present in the form of 170273. Just in case you didn't know, the tram types are the Bombardier Incentro AT6/5 and the Alstom Citadis 302, all of which have fleet numbers and names, 237 'Stuart Broad MBE' for example, so there's your tram fix! At one point in the video, you mentioned that one didn't have a UA-cam channel but the one that you mentioned does now have one and is also a new subscriber as well! Nice to have bumped into you which I didn't expect and who knows one day it could happen at Nottingham again!
Thanks ever so much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :) It was great meeting you that day, and thank you for the information in regards to the various tram types!!
@@Tornado922 It was good to see you too! I didn't expect it mind! 😂
@@Tornado922 On the tram types, I'm sure you'll remember them types next time you come here! I've seen some sparks off the pantographs before! One of the Bombardier AT65 Incentro Trams in the form of 212 'William Booth' now has an allover advert promoting Nottingham to become carbon neutral come 2028! As they say, the future's bright, the future's green! That could be the case with some rail operating companies actually and not just other operating companies like the bus ones for example. East Midlands Railway are getting bi-modes come 2023 I think for example.
Excellent railway video again mate.
Thanks very much :)
Great video keep it up hope you do some more
Thanks very much, I always have a steady stream of films to get released throughout the year :)
On the length of EMR trains, it does seem a bit odd. But it's now October and since I walk quite often in fields close to the line South of Kettering I can say I've noticed something of a return to the past practice of coupling two class 222s together, with several 5+4 or 5+5 formations passing. Still, there are many 4-, 5- and 7-car trains. I wonder if shorter trains will remain the norm, with the 360s doing the Corby service so that, perhaps, less space is needed on the other services.
Re your comment on doing a long journey on a class 170, I had several journeys to and from London in Midland Mainline days on class 170s and it seemed to me that they had good acceleration and speed and were surprisingly comfortable too. In this respect they are much better than the 360s: based on the one journey I've done to London and back (from Kettering) on 360s, I would say they are not suited to a journey of that length, due to the lack of legroom, the lack of elbow room, the lack of armrests (or anywhere else to rest arm or elbow) and the lack of tables. I was uncomfortable well before the journey ended and glad to get off.
The problem with any 'modern' train now is that they were designed without customer comfort in mind, they all have very hard seats and leg room is a bit of a premium. A very good example of this would be the MK3's. They are all very comfortable, offer superb legroom and have space available for you to rest your arms and stretch out.
Great video and love the commentary!
Thanks very much :)
Also apparently 180111 broke down near Kibworth I believe on the 15:35 London St Pancras-Nottingham service I believe causing delays, diversions and probably some cancellations as well, so I hope you managed to get home from Nottingham safe and well!
It did indeed breakdown and caused absolute havoc across the entire network. I managed to get home but it took me much longer than I would have liked
@@Tornado922 Well I'm glad that you got back OK! Lucky for me I managed to walk back on this day, which was pretty easy to do! At least it didn't take me as long to get back home compared to your train trip! Apparently 180110 is currently a four car 180 at the moment as the centre car is at Doncaster Wabtec after suffering corrosion. Also the East Midlands Trains livery on the 222's has almost disappeared now! I think 222003 'Tornado' could lose its name if it hasn't lost it yet as a result! 😱 It's a shame that the full old livery on them is going but the new colour scheme, which involves some parts of the old livery in this case, really does work on them! I think Cross Country's HST's have been temporarily put out of service, which is a shame! Fingers crossed that there will be a Mainline series come 2022! I don't mind seeing random stations all the same though! 😂
We used to have 156s in Scotland
I know :)
Other amazing video legend tornado I was enjoy watch your videos
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
@@Tornado922 I was enjoying your watch videos
Awesome 👍👍👍👍 bro
Thanks very much :)
Great video mate
Thanks very much bud :)
Excellent
Thanks very much
As Frank Sinatra would sing. ' Start spreading the news. The train is leaving today?'
not entirely convinced the context is all the same
Surprised the pigeons don't know you yet by name. Are they subbed to this channel?
Hi my friend🙋♂️ new sunscriber from Argentina🤝😃
Hello there :) Thank you ever so much for subscribing to my channel it is greatly appreciated :)
Does the East Midlands railroad still have class 43s running?
After Shrewsbury can you do Swansea.
The Nottingham Trams accelerate REALLY Fast You better hold on,
I've Been On Nottingham Trams They Have 50 Tram Stops In Total.
I've never travelled on them before
8:58 I swear I saw a tram with an avanti west coast livery on
May have just been the angle at which I was filming them from
Brilliant video mate, really enjoyed this one 😄 Will you be doing any videos in Scotland?
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, If I do go to Scotland it will be sometime next year
The trams going into Nottingham go to Toton lane
York will be a good station to film at
I have been to York many times
I was there 2 weeks ago
Did you have a good time?
I think the EMR livery makes the 156's look older imho
That's an interesting opinion, I can kinda see where you are coming from
The 170 and 156 that are in the new emr livery are from abellio greater anglia
Your welcome "/
It's better to have older stock that is still functioning around the network
the only 170 EMR have had that's ex-GA so far has been 170273 ex-GA and ex-TfW
Hi tornado922, great video absolutely loved it, i just have one question, how much do you spend on train travel every time you go train spotting because thats the one thing stopping ne from going to stations and spotting
Hello there Ethan, I haven't got a fixed sum when it comes to finances for my train spotting as it can vary depending on where I go. If you set yourself a budget then you'll be absolutely fine
Can you do Edinburgh Waverley if possible?
I will go there at some stage, although I'm not sure when that will be
Hi , mate since you have been from leicester to nottingham does that mean you are going to derby next for a sort of east midlands round up? Great Video mate keep it up , and i agree the 156 's have a great character and its nice to see them being used!!
I didn't go to Derby after I had filmed here. I will get it done at some stage but I don't know when that will be
Nice video. Likes
Subscrito
Thanks very much :)
Crewe to Newark Castle blimey they need to put a 170 unit on that sort of route the seats on a 156 must get too uncomfortable for the passengers after 1hr so I think its best if 170s did that sort of route not sure if you agree with me
I haven't travelled on that route before so I really can't say
lovely, could you film at dore just after sheffield
Thanks very much, I will see what I can do for you. It will be sometime next year
How do you tell where the trains are going from also love the vids :) please do marston green and lea hall one day
I use a website called Realtimetrains for all of my information. I will cover Marston Green at some stage
I don't think I've ever appreciated Nottingham as a station or the variety it receives even though I spent a decent chunk of my life there, which is a shame, I'll make sure I take it in next time I'm back up there. On the turbos, Nottingham to Birmingham is as far as I can bare, and that's at a push, the 2 car units can get really really cramped on a busy day
This was only my second ever visit here and it absolutely superb, the variety in traction is excellent. Could've done with a bit more freight but I enjoyed my time here nonetheless.
Brilliant vid bud! Let's just pretend at 0:23 you didn't sound like you were having a stroke. Quick question, do you have any plans to return to Colton Junction as I really enjoy your films from there. And I have really discovered how much I hate Cross Countrys livery.
Lets just gloss over that particular moment haha, I will be going back to Colton Junction at some stage but I don't know when that will be. Why do you hate the XC livery?
@@Tornado922 well its not really that I 'hate' it as such, its just not my favourite livery in the world
Finally
In regards to me coming here?
As someone who’s from Nottingham, I can tell you that Hucknall is not a nice place at all. (No offence meant to anyone from there however)
I'm sure no one was offended haha
next Blackpool
Try asking politely
@@Tornado922 please can you do Blackpool?
Hard to believe that this is only your second visit here, and it was on a day where I was away from Nottingham too, are you doing this on purpose, also, for filming at Nottingham I'd recommend you stand where you were standing between platforms 5 and 6
I really should make more of an effort to come back to Nottingham as it really is a great station
6:28
First.
Congratulations
First is no longer a train company.
@@TwmUkLive I meant I was first to watch
@@samstravelvlogsinthenorthe9818 why would anybody care about that?
