Trains at Newcastle - 18/07/2023

Filmed on 18/07/2023. So, time for the third and final station of the day and to complete our 'Three Tuesday's In A Row' here in the North East brings us to a rainy and soggy evening few hours at Newcastle (Season 10 Episode 22)
No freight through this station during our session but plenty in terms of passenger variety. Lumo Trains are in competition against the Airlines running fast services between London Kings Cross and Newcastle using their electric only Hitachi class 803 units. They only offer standard class seating but plenty of space available. Its been tested with a pairing of class 803 units making for 10 carriage trains which could be the future.
Transpennine Express are on a rocky road to say the least with them now being government owned after First Group lost the franchise. Especially, that their Newcastle to Manchester Piccadilly services could be coming to an end by December timetable changes to free up spare Nova 1's.

The rain gave a great ASMR effect! (Great spotting too) - Newcastle lad 👍

The down fall did make it satisfying to film trains under the umbrella. Thanks Bob :-)

Great video, Love the unobtrusive graphics, Hope you didn't get too wet

[@RickyNowis]

No, not really to be honest. Had a very good umbrella which did the trick on the day and on the north side of the station. Thank you :-)

That day was my 51st birthday, and the weather was completely different to my 50th, it was 38/39C in the middle of the heat wave. Good video as always Ricky👍👍👍

[@RickyNowis]

Wow, well Happy 51st Birthday Stephen. What a difference a year makes with the weather. Thank you :-)

[@transportlegendshorts]

Hi, plz do Inverness, Scotland or paisley gilmour street, scotland

[@RickyNowis]

Hello. To be honest with you, it will have to be done some point in 2024. Due to cost of living going up, work and social commitments. I haven't had time to make any arrangements for a holiday to Scotland.

[@transportlegendshorts]

That’s fine. 😊 @@RickyNowis
