- An excellent morning spent at Kettering on the Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from East Midlands Railway and freight from DB Cargo UK and GBRF.
Kettering was opened by the Midland Railway in 1857, when the station was first opened it was actually on a line linking to the Great Northern Railway at Hitchin. The coming of the railway saved Kettering from near total collapse. This is because in 1857 the leather trade in Kettering was in a deep recession as no one wanted to travel the distance by horse and carriage, so with the coming of the railway it then allowed the various businesses in Kettering to utilise the network to start trading their goods further afield which in turn brought much prosperity to the town.
From 1886 to 1959 Kettering was also the terminus of a Cross Country route from Cambridge, but you can thank Dr. Beeching for that route closure, as with many others around the country.
In 1879 the railway was quad tracked to allow for better access with the faster express services needing to go North and South of Kettering without being disrupted by the slower services, that layout is now how the station looks, albeit with a few slight modifications as the years went by. There used to be a two bay engine shed at the northern end of the station which stayed in place until the late 1950's.

Hey Hey! Glad you got this one uploaded, its almost a bit of deja vu! Great job and thanks for the mention as well 😃
Are you doing Kettering next 😉
@@ukrailspotter21 Its on the way ;)
It was great meeting you that day bud! And you're welcome for the mention!
Great video. I do like that EMR livery.
They do look very nice. 1st class in them is beautiful
Tbh I’d rather EMTs livery
@@comeng471M same
Thanks very much
Can't wait for the 360's to start turning up will definitely look good in Kettering. Plus good video as always.
It will look good once they start running! I'm glad you enjoyed watching this
Nice one as always Jarred. Wellingborough, Kettering and Market Harborough have changed so much since I was there in 2017.
Thanks very much bud, Kettering has changed a lot since I was last there. And for the better it must be said
My local station! Should've said you were coming I could have came down. Hey ho, brilliant video anyway! Good spot on the 701 delivery, RHTT and 222104!
I'll be sure to keep you informed next time I'm around your neck of the woods, I'm glad you enjoyed watching this
Ah well it isnt your fault but give me a shout when you next pop down then that will arrive (hopefully without god awful IETs)
Brilliant video keep up the good work
Thanks very much!
Brilliant awesome video. What a star you are for taking time to make them for our enjoyment. Nice to be watching at home instead of on the tractor. Keep up the sterling work. Kind regards
thanks very much bud I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :) I hope you're keeping well out there
Really liked the video! I may be biased as a Kettering local but it is a really good station to go to for some spotting, lots of variety on good days. It’s changed unite a lot since your last visit with the platform extensions, overhead cables and EMR over EMT. It’s a bit annoying how far out the platform announcements for fast trains are, but you get used to timing it after a while lol. Looking forward to the brand new 360 EMU fleet coming in for the Corby services but it will be sad for the HSTs to go. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next video!
Kettering is a great station to go to certainly, if you get your days right you can get a great amount of variety here. It has certainly changed a hell of a lot since my last visit here but it was still amazing
Very nice video & HSTs flying pass👍
Thanks very much
Good video keep up with your fantastic work
Thanks very much!
@@Tornado922 no problem god bless you
Kettering is a great Station!
It certainly is
Cool trains 👍
Another brilliant video, brought to you by "grotty" and "smell - o- vision". Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks very much, the smell was certainly rather off putting to say the least haha
Great video as usual, I must admit I do like the SWR livery on 701 011, stay safe
Thanks very much, the 701's do look good
Superb video. Glad you got to see some EMR HST's too. :)
Desiro360 can your next video be at south woodham ferrers plz thx
@@belgianrail1 I will see what I can do.
Thanks very much
As always, a proper show.
Thanks again and stay well ;}
Thank you kindly bud, I hope you're staying well out there!
@@Tornado922 You too my friend ;}
10:25 - I think that the 'dirt' on 222021 is actually thermal discolouration. Notice that you only see it around the exhaust stacks at the car ends.
That's actually a very good analogy of the 'dirt' build up I was talking about, didn't actually think it could be thermal discolouration
Nice busy hour there, love a HST to thunder past. Great work as always.
Thanks very much, this was a great stay here
I thought I heard it all but you never fail to impress me Jarred with your 'Smell-a-vision'. Anyway still loving your videos. Can't wait for the next!
I usually end up coming up with something new every now and again haha
Excellent video as always Tornado922. Great range of EMR and freight trains running through.
Thanks very much, this was a great station to come to
Ahh my home station. Kettering is great for spotting, hsts, freight from the big 3 daily and often nr test trains and unit moves with Rog traction. Station has some lovely curves to it too
This was a great station to come to, been a long time since I was last there
I do love the old livery on the EMTs but the new one is just awesome. Great video btw
The old EMT livery does look good but they are coming along nicely with the EMR livery
Really looking forward to the ely video. Only 20 minutes down the line from my home town 👍👍
It's a great station, Ely doesn't get the coverage it deserves
It is soo good to see the old LNER HST's still being used by EMR and I didn't know but also to see the old Hull Trains stock being used by EMR too! Less scrap and everyone gets an upgrade to their stock!
Hopefully the HST will have a long life with EMR, the 222/1 units have been on the MML for quite sometime now
Very grotty 66 on the rear. Love it!
The grottier the better haha
Love ur vids
Thanks very much
Another Fantastic video! I really enjoyed this :)
Thanks very much
A station I've never been to, but would like too, glad you came back to the MML
I do highly recommend this station should you choose to come here
Hi legend brilliant video tornado I wish can upload lot video I love hst trains
Thanks very much
Cracking video mate, those hsts don't hang around!
Thanks very much, the HST's certainly do motor!
Great video
Thanks very much
Amazing one as normal
Thanks very much
Fantastic video at Kettering station. I am not a fan of the new liveries of the Meridians in purple I like the original EMT colour scene and nice to see the new SWR class 701 and 66780 in the cemex livery. I think you will take that. 👏👍
Thanks very much, there was plenty of variety on offer the day I was here
Good stuff. Pity the 222 they named after you didn't show up!
I haven't actually seen it all that much during my visits to the MML
2:57 WRONG it probably was a limited EMR service from Leeds, Nottingham-Wakefield Westgate isn't electrified so class 43 here we come!
Nice video
Thanks very much
Since the electrification is almost completed. When is the Class 360/1s cascaded from Greater Anglia due to start service from London St. Pancras to Kettering and Corby. Have you also been to Wellingborough.
No they are getting the ones from TFL. Because, the 345 are replacing them.
@@OnTheMoveTransport They are getting the GA 360's
In terms of when the trains will be running I'm not to sure, they are operating test trains along the electrified section of the MML so I can't see it being to long now until they start operating for EMR, but time will tell. I haven't been to Wellingborough for over 3 years now
Do Shenfield next Saturday
I've already filmed there so I'm not going back
Could you revisit Market Harborough since it's the station before Kettering?
I'm not to sure to be honest, I'll think about it
First comment love your videos sir
I'm glad you enjoy them
Your right that class 222 is covered in just dirt
4:16
what's with the electrification is the Midland Mainline with class 360s and class 810s true is that what they are electrifying the line for
The 810s are still under construction, and Greater Anglia haven't retired the 360s yet which means EMR can't run them! Hopefully GA will finally give us the 360's soon so we can get round to retiring those HSTs...
I have a feeling that thanos has snapped his finger at the railway
Next station try Alexandra palace that’s quiet
I won't be doing that for quite sometime now
When i was at Spondon i saw 222023 and 222016
Nice
Well. You've Got A Glimpse Of What Clapham Junction Will become
I'm sure there will still be plenty of variety there in the end
I saw the class 701 at brook wood
Nice
This is beautiful!!!
Love the catenary design!! Very similar your own mainline and far better than the one used on the GWML.
I also love the station theme. Very clean and professional.
P.S
What the hell was the LNER train doing here? Go back to you turf (ECML)!! (I'm joking of course!!)
This station is coming along rather nicely with all the work taking place :)
The LNER HST set was on the MML because LNER gave some HSTs to EMR to cover for the gap caused by the delay in the 180s and 810s and the withdrawal of the 2 + 6 HST sets from Grand Central
i must be the most unluckiest person, i do not see any 4 car 222s when i go and see trains only the 5 and 7 car variations and also i have heard things about the 222s are leaving EMR, i do not know the new company that they are going to, or if train companies have other ideas. Does anyone know?...
Apparently, CrossCountry
I don't want 222s to leave East Midlands Railway
@@nathansrailwayphotography8125 well they are going to have to
Tornado you know what would look better a meridian in the transpennine or cross country livery.
CrossCountry have Voyagers and Super Voyagers which are from the same family as the Meridians👍.
@@BoomTrainspots Avanti West Coast also have Super Voyagers
@@nathansrailwayphotography8125 Yeah I know, just not in CrossCountry livery.
@@BoomTrainspots Avanti West Coast voyagers are still in Virgin livery
@@nathansrailwayphotography8125 Yeah I know, I filmed them on Monday.
VP185s are the best n will be sadly missed
Very much so
Great video tornado. Just a question will train simulator be returning or has the series come to an end
Thanks very much, TS will be returning within the next few days :)
Hello how are you tornado 922
