- Hello and welcome to the second and final part of my day at Stafford on the West Coast Mainline where we continue to see services from Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern Railway, Cross Country and freight from Freightliner, GBRF, DB Cargo UK and DRS.
The first half of the afternoon went without any issue, then eventually a bag log of trains started happening at Stafford, and this was down to the fact that a signal failure had occurred at Weaver Junction which meant that the line was blocked heading into Liverpool and also heading up to Warrington.
This throw the timetable completely out but at the same time brought Stafford into its best with the use of the bidirectional platforms. Even the freight was getting in on the action.
My next station will be Eastleigh on the South Western Mainline.

I think that afternoon would be known as unorganised chaos. But, fab video as always.
Great videos, nice to see your last train coming down my neck of the woods - Cornwall.
It's a surprise nowadays when the WCML runs smoothly!
Cool video Jarred. Stafford is very chaos with the signalling problem and lots of delays but still a good station nevertheless. Thank you for sharing and have a nice weekend. Regards, Arnold
Well wathered weggons! :-)
Cool video even with the signal issues. If possible can you do a video at Fratton Station and the Linslade curve. Love watching your videos from America
Great part 2 at Stafford. It was definitely interesting to see Stafford under disruption!
I love how the only trains passing on time are the freight trains, when every single passenger service are late!
Really enjoyable outing at Stafford, part two was excellent, with lots of variety. I watched an upload from Linslade, which might have been the same day, signal failure on the Up Main, bad day for WCML. More bad news a horrendous fence has been put in place spoiling an excellent spot. Many thanks.
The new gbrf 99,s are set to enter service later this year and will be a staple of their west and east coast liner services.
Like Jarred would say answers on a postcard to I haven't got a clue.
Brillinat video , such a variety! I still Like 390 119 , despite what some say it does give colour to the railway. Also great to see a pair of 90's.
Great part 2 at Stafford plenty of freight and lots of delays

Will you be venturing out to a station or two onto the South Eastern Mainline again this year because one of the 465 Networkers has been repainted into the original Network South East livery.
Awesome video from Stafford station of all the different trains passing through I love watching all your videos. Keep up the good work mate me and my girlfriend live in Hinckley. Would you ever transport at Hinckley or not?
Hi there great video When are you doing Eastleigh then?
Awesome video from Stafford station of all the different trains passing through I love watching all your videos. Keep up the good work mate me and my girlfriend live in Hinckley. Would you ever transport at Hinckley or not? You did get some good move through Hinckley sometimes depends what day it is and if it’s busy.
The signaller at Stafford must be having a nightmare bless him or her
how wierd the pendolino at 23:30 pulled in to let a freight train pass and they are both going to Liverpool. the said freight wasn't going fast so presume the pride train will have to follow at a moderate speed to Merseyside? how strange that one is when as you say it shouldn't have even stopped at Stafford in the first place. did someone get this wrong?
what was the Greater Anglia doing
@IshaqAli-z1j That's on the test run from Wembley to Rugby via Stafford
Absolutely 👍 love ❤️ the Pride Pendolino for Avanti West Coast on their class 390 it’s absolutely stunning the bright colours and yea
Hi Tornado922 I won't to make 3.90 200 gold. because I won't him to look cool. # Ritchie
