Trains at: Staplehurst, SEML, 09/03/24

An hours morning session spent at Staplehurst on the South Eastern Mainline where we see services purely from Southeastern.
Staplehurst station was opened in 1842 by the South Eastern Railway when the line was extended from Tonbridge to Headcorn. The station layout hadn't changed since it was first built, the platforms widened in 1889 and a footbridge was built over the station in 1961. The footbridge was built in preparation for the electrification of the line.
Like most stations along that section of line there were goods facilities that were in operation until 1971, there was also a coal yard at the station which was closed in 1965.
My next station will be Marden.

Apparently you caught South Eastern a day before washing day. The trains are all filthy!

[@Tornado922]

I've never known a railway company to have such filthy rolling stock!

[@hamshackleton]

Those units are filthy - almost as mucky as the RHTT's at the end of the season!

[@Tornado922]

I think they have been using them for RHTT duties!

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

Nice short video there even if it is exactly the same units and I see you changed your thumbnail recently! Did you fancy a new one then after all these years of sticking with your old one?

[@Tornado922]

Yeah I fancied doing something different after all these years

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

Admire you for going to a different station jarred but yeah a hour is all you need as does it get boring maybe if there was freight maybe make it more interesting

[@Tornado922]

It just goes to show much difference having some freight at a station can make, otherwise it gets very monotonous

[@Owenjedi5000]

Is this part of the South Eastern Main Line series or just random train videos.

[@JackJackProductionsShorts]

Part of the SEML series

[@Firefly414]

keep doing videos at dead station's just look at that view count people love been bored like you are in these videos

[@Tornado922]

Here's a thought. Don't watch it then. I don't create these films purely for you. As with any Mainline series that I do I have to give each station a fair try, if you don't like it then by all means go and find another channel who caters to your needs

@@Firefly414 Trying humour on social media can be a risky business. Like you I unironically really enjoyed this. Just hanging around for a few minutes on a station without leaving your living room and not spending an hour getting cold: all good for the viewer.

[@gavlptvbk8665]

@@Firefly414hmm, if you look at his previous comments, he keeps having little digs at Jarod’s choice of station.

[@camotech1314]

If this is meant to be funny then you have a weird sense of humour, guy.
