That was superb video mate. Good to catch both 390119 and 121 in one video and lots of freight trains including two 70s, two 90s, the mail train and NWT livery 66747
It made a huge difference with all the Southampton traffic coming along this section of the WCML, petty that they are now back onto the CML. But I really enjoyed my time here
Your visits to MK are always enjoyable and a fair variety of traffic and a dry rht. Rarely see any 12 car 350 sets these days, but nice to see the voyagers still running. Many thanks.
Hi Tornado922. Great rush hour film at Milton Keynes Central. Extra information for you: at 22:16, 325006 was in the middle of the Willesden-Warrington Royal Mail service and at 46:43, it was 221107 & 221117 working the Avanti service from Holyhead. I also prefer the 390 Avanti Pendolinos to the 221 Super Voyagers. It's not that I don't like the Avanti 221s, I just like the 390s more. I think, because the 17.15 and 18.15 Liverpool trains and the 17.24 and 18.24 Manchester trains both use platform 6, it is easier for the 17.19 and 18.19 Crewe trains to use platform 5. Looking forward to the next rush hour film at Cheddington. Kind regards, Chris.
Thanks very much Chris for your continued support and thanks for the extra information in regards to the Avanti services and the royal mail train. I love seeing Milton Keynes getting busier now
Ah my childhood station! Been there many times. Still never gets old! :) I’m sure LNWR switching to Platform 5 makes me think that they want to keep the fast lines clear should anything need to overtake such as Avanti. 10:06 class 70 at Milton Keynes never even happens as they normally would appear from Nuneaton but yknow what’s going on! They’re mainly on Southampton to Lawley, Trafford park and Garston. (Sometimes Crewe but not often) Considering there design for heavily loaded freight trains. Fantastic vid nonetheless!
Milton Keynes has always been a great station to come to in the rush hour, even more so then as the line from Didcot to Oxford was closed so it meant I was able to get so much more freight coming through which is always great to see. I can see why LNWR would use P5 for that reason but throughout my time filming there, there was always a large gap between the LNWR stopping services on P5 and the Avanti services passing fast on P6.
Absolutely brilliant rush hour film at Milton Keynes central 2 double headed class 90's, 9 class 66's 2 class 70's and a Royal mail 325 and 390119 and the climate hero 390 and a pair 319 a shame there was no DRS 88's
It was one of my best visits to the WCML for quite some time! Having the extra freight running to and from Southampton made a massive difference here. A DRS 88 would have topped it off for sure
omg great video i think i was on one of the avanti west coast 390s passing to london euston because i remember seeing a 10 coaach 221 and then right after i saw a 5 coach 221 i was deffentily on one of the 390s passing to Euston😂
11:25 390121 was named last year several months after it was painted. It was a competition to name the train and opportunity came out the best. Coincidentally the person (Kyla) that named is actually from Milton Keynes 😂
A lot of freight diverts using the WCML as the route from Southampton through Oxford is closed due to bridge repairs south of Oxford one man’s loss is another’s gain great video
It was great to see so much freight coming through here as a result of the Oxford - Didcot line getting closed. Although it has now reopened so at some stage I'll have to venture over to the CML to do some rush hour filming.
It all comes down to the rolling stock that they have available to them. Unfortunately their intercity trains are used exclusively on the MML from London to Sheffield and Nottingham, although with EMR now getting new trains it could possibly allow them to put some of their 222s on the longer cross country routes that their 158s currently work. But time shall tell. If I were in charge of EMR I would have longer trains running between those towns as their trains are always packed.
Hello tornado you can do Oxenholme Lake District after this because I live in the Lake District and it would be really nice if you do a rush hour film there and to get there you have to go on a train to Crewe and then on another train to Oxenholme Lake District.
Oxenholme will never be covered in a rush hour film because it's to far away from Milton Keynes. If I ever cover that station then it will be done as a standard film.
Another great video and the 90s looks so good 👍🍺
Thanks very much Chris as always
What wonderful engines are the class 90's. Nice compilation and best regards from Croatia!
Thank you kindly!
nice congratulations
Thank you kindly!
Great vid! I love the part where at the beginning freightliner interuppted his intro lol
Fantastic rush hour film, I really enjoyed it. :)
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Shame the 90s aren’t on passenger work, but always good to see them on freight.
It would have been nice of GC had kept their London to Blackpool service then we would have seen 90s back on passenger workings on the WCML.

38:51 I SO AGREE WITH YA
I'm glad you do!
Brilliant as always, i love your videos.
That's very kind of you to say!
Fab vid and nice weather for you as well
It makes a pleasant change for the weather to be on my side for a rush hour film!
Love it when you film trains during the rush hour period!
I enjoy filming them
Brilliant stuff 2 pairs of 90s were great 👍
Thanks very much, it was a mad rush to get myself sorted so that I could get the 90s passing through
Another great rush hour vlog really enjoy these vlogs
Thank you kindly!
At 22:15 the middle 325 was 325006
Thanks for letting me know
Love Milton keynes Station
It's a great station to come to
nice to see another film from you at this station, you're doing good work
Thank you kindly
Very impressive, your narration
That's very kind of you to say, thank you :)

I always enjoy coming here in the rush hour and getting these films put together, always a great variety in traffic passing through here

A very good Sunday evening buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy 👍

Excellent video. Nicely done. 😀
Thanks very much!
Milton Keynes looks busy
It's a great section of the WCML to come to in the rush hour period
cracking tone from that 66 at 41:03
Great start with the 90s
It was a bit of a mad dash to get myself sorted so that I could catch them

You are right with 390050!
Woohoo!

An hour long? I will watch in sections 😊but first I need to get myself some bopcorn 😄
food and drinks are highly recommended!

All I saw on the Royal Mail train the middle one the last number was 6
Someone told me that it was 006
@@Tornado922 That was me lol
Can You please make a Rush hour or normal trains at video at London Euston and Crewe please.
I will see what I can do for you
I believe GBRF to have taken over the Dagenham-Mossend flow now, so this was probably your last time seeing a DB 66 on it.
GBRF are taking over everything it would seem
Hi, greeting from Czechia! I want to visit this station, is it possible to go to the platform without ticket? I will come from Luton by bus.
Hello Tornado922
Hello
can I ask why is EMR running 2 158 units from Liverpool to Norwich shouldn't that be a 222 or something for a HST
It all comes down to the rolling stock that they have available to them. Unfortunately their intercity trains are used exclusively on the MML from London to Sheffield and Nottingham, although with EMR now getting new trains it could possibly allow them to put some of their 222s on the longer cross country routes that their 158s currently work. But time shall tell. If I were in charge of EMR I would have longer trains running between those towns as their trains are always packed.
Sheffield Wednesday Is My Football Team
They’re doing pretty good this year
Very nice
