Trains at: Abbey Wood, NKL, 25/02/23

A very enjoyable morning spent at Abbey Wood station on the North Kent Line where we see plenty of services from Southeastern, Thameslink and Elizabeth Line.
Abbey Wood station was opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1849, the station came under the control of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1923. And eventually Southern in 1948 when the railways were nationalised. Then when the 1980s made an appearance the station was served by Network Southeast until the network became privatised.
Abbey Wood became one of the first stations in the UK to use an APTIS (Accountancy and Passenger Ticket Issuing System) in 1986, this system was utilised across the network by every staffed British Rail station by the end of the 1980s.
Abbey Wood is also one of the eastern terminus stations of the Elizabeth Line where trains operate regular services from Heathrow and Reading.
I don't think I'll be coming back to this station, its nice enough station but I think one visit is sufficient.
My next station is Stratford International.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, videos and photos from all of my goings on throughout 2023.

Love the traction motors on the 465s

[@Tornado922]

They do sound good!

[@andrewmagnusthegreatesttra1230]

Keep up the amazing work mate

[@Tornado922]

Thank you kindly!

707s on Southeastern are Citymemes due to their quick acquisition from Southwestern railway and some trainspotters believing that the 707s should've stayed with Southwestern railway

[@jeffeveningstar648]

Cracking video. Great seeing the 345s in all there glory.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much! I love this part of the network as there is a great variety in rolling stock to be seen

[@sarribel]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing

Hi Tornado922. Great film at Abbey Wood. Looking forward to the next film at Stratford International. Kind regards, Chris.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much Chris! I had a great time at this station

[@keiranclarke2955]

One time I got the Southeastern from London Bridge to Abbey Wood and then got the Elizabeth line to Bond Street. That was on one of my day outs in London

[@Tornado922]

I hope you had a great time when you did that

[@keiranclarke2955]

@@Tornado922 I certainly did. :)

The wooden fence is there to separate the North Kent Line and the Elizabeth Line

[@Tornado922]

Just seems pointless to me when no other line does that

[@MrIamcool3123]

I think the class 700s sound better when the pantograph is raised.

[@Tornado922]

I would have to agree with you

[@Sophiebryson510]

Good video

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much!

[@Andrewjg_89]

Southeastern could replace the Class 376 to Southern and to inherit the rest of the Class 707 from South Western Railway.

[@Tornado922]

I rather like the variety that they have at the moment

[@TransportNut89]

345s are the fastest accelerating multiple units in the UK

[@deadaccount2048]

Aren’t the 331s the fastest? It was a crazy number around 1.3m/s² I swear

[@JaidenRail]

The plane was
a Airbus a319

[@Tornado922]

Thanks for the info!

[@RamTransport]

Actually it's an e190.
No Boeing aircraft are permitted to fly into London city and the airbus a318 is the only airbus aircraft allowed to fly in but they have been retired for a few years now.
Most of the jet engined aircraft you seen would have been apart of the ejet series from embraer and the prop aircraft would either be atrs or q400s

[@coyi51]

That was short & sweet, but really enjoyable. What is the point of that fence?

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, in regards to the fence I haven't got the faintest idea, someone somewhere thought it was a good idea at the time. But to me it seems incredibly pointless

[@andrewmagnusthegreatesttra1230]

I would you to train spot at Whittlesea railway station in Cambridgeshire

[@Tornado922]

I'll bear that in mind

[@georgedowns4034]

Tornado plz can u go to Slough at some point

[@Tornado922]

I will see what I can do

[@MrIamcool3123]

I thought you would do Manchester Piccadilly after this

[@Tornado922]

I'm allowed to change my mind

[@dylanwhite8542]

Can you do a video of Manchester airport

[@Tornado922]

That will be done later this year

[@MrIamcool3123]

Do Carlisle after Manchester piccadilly

[@Tornado922]

I'm getting rather tired of having to tell you that Carlisle will be done later this year!!

[@jdraves1138]

Hello Tornado, hope your ok, when will you next film at Ely or Cambridge? I'm only asking because if it's on a day either when school is off or on a Saturday would it be ok to join you?

[@Tornado922]

I'm doing very well thanks, how are you? If I do cover Ely or Cambridge it would be done on a Saturday. Once I know when I'm going there I'll then put up a community post on my channel so that you can see when I would be there
