What an absolutely fantastic video from one of my all time favourite railway stations. Certainly kept you busy and also it's good that you reported what could well have been a fault on the third rail system. Anyways, great film and great commentary. I look forward to your Leamington Spa video. 😊
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed this :) the driver was thankful for me telling him. I'm really looking forward to filming all day at Leamington Spa
The 158 going to Chandlers Ford is actually go to Romsey but they put up Chandlers Ford so not to confuse the train when it leaves sailsbury because it calls at Romsey on route to Southampton then loops round at Eastleigh to go back to Romsey via chandlers Ford.
Great video!! I'm looking forward to the HSTs going through this station soon!! Great Western r kindly planning on putting HSTs on the Cardiff central to Portsmouth Harbour line!! I think when great westerns class 800 goes on service they will send the HSTs which r doing the route the 800s route will be replacing. They will send them down to Portsmouth then!!
Great video! Southern need to give the Electrostars a fresh lick of paint. Same with SWTs Desiros however they should keep the livery as it is still modern and it's useful how they split their trains into 3 different colours so you know which are the Metro and Mainline and (etc)
+SupplyDemandRBLX l Thanks very much, personally I think that the SWT livery is perfectly good as it is. Although I would like to see a new livery for Southern
This was my first time here and I can safely say I wasn't disappointed :) I've never been to Gloucester before, but forgive my ignorance but why would Gloucester be better during the tunnel closer?
+Tornado922 What normally happens when the Severn tunnel is closed trains to south wales are divert via Gloucester which means it a lot busier then normal. Also depending on what method of measuring Gloucester has the longest platform in the UK
Did network rail end up coming for the smoking signal point? Everytime I see a swt 444 or 450 it reminds me just how much better than southern they truly are, more spacious, more comfortable an hell of a lot more reliable
They are the same train essentially. The only real difference is that the 450 runs off 3rd rail power whereas the 350 variants run off overhead wires via their pantograph. The interior design might be slightly different to cope with the different needs of the network that they run on but fundamentally they are the same train
Another good video, there seems to be a hell of a lot of 158s that go through there, and also I find it rather amusing how you make sarcastic remarks towards the announcer.
There was a nice mixture of diesel and electric traction passing through here which is always nice to see. I always enjoy making little remarks towards the announcer ;)
***** I know, they should her whoever is responsible and available to make a personal apology. The only good one I've heard is a famous one in Wales in the valleys, the announcer would say "the train is late due to a cock up"😂😂😂😂😂
Tornado922 Strnanhe going through my reccomendatikns found this and I'm at Southampton nice place even Isle of Wight. I came on a Southern from London Victoria.
***** some of us just have our moments. I actually visited Clapham Jn for the first time today, brilliant half an hour, they even tested out the fire alarm systems while I was there. I've never been to such a busy station in my life! Great fun :D
I like how the traffic goes both ways on the same lines in the station.
Very nice station, thanks for the great video :)
Your very welcome

ah right ok thanks for letting me know :)
really good video my home town you picked a good time to get there never seen it that busy before lol
+Scott Simmons thanks very much :) I really enjoyed myself here
+Tornado922 yeah it's not a bad station can get busy now and then but yeah you been up Cardiff way yet ?
Scott Simmons This is definitely a station that I'm coming back to, I've not been to Cardiff yet but I have every intention of going there
Brilliant Video keep the good work.👍😃😀👍
Thanks very much :)
Excellent video. Well done on pointing out the smoking third rail. 👍🏼
Thanks very much :) the driver was thankful that I did
Thanks very much :) the driver was thankful that I did
Fun fact
Great western railways 158s have three coaches cuz there are two coaches and another 158 in front of the two coaches
Great video!!
I'm looking forward to the HSTs going through this station soon!!
Great Western r kindly planning on putting HSTs on the Cardiff central to Portsmouth Harbour line!!
I think when great westerns class 800 goes on service they will send the HSTs which r doing the route the 800s route will be replacing. They will send them down to Portsmouth then!!
I was under the impression that the GWR HST fleet were to be shipped off to operated in Scotland once the IEP sets take over?
4 years later and that still hasn't happened...
Brilliant Video, as always! Not sure if your intro Model Railways but the Company Bachmann is making a weathered Class 450 by SWT soon :D
Thanks very much :) I love model railways. I've been around them all of my life
excellent video........as per usual........keep up the good work
Thanks very much :)
there's always freight at Southampton because there is a Southampton mct for freightliner just down the line and great video
I thought I would have seen more when I was there. But thanks very much for saying so
Welcome mate
Awesome Video really Enjoyed Watching This keep Up the Amazing Work Tornado922:)
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it
I just been to Southampton central today busy station
I hope you had a good time
Fun fact,
Originally a fleet of 5-car Class 450s were to be built, but this order was cancelled with the vehicles going to the class 350/0s fleet
Well I never knew that, you learn something new every day :)
I love your channel bro!
Thank you very much for saying so
mate your channel is awesome!
Thank you very much for saying so :)

Southampton central looks the same as I remember it. Btw you might want to try Gloucester during the seven tunnel closure

Johan Mahoney-Berg ah right ok :) thanks for letting me know
Fantastic video I really enjoyed it!
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it
Can you do Warrington central and other stations on that line
If I ever get the opportunity I will give it a look
Anyone know what makes that "siren" noise in the 444's/450's?
I can't quite remember the reason why they make that noise
Did network rail end up coming for the smoking signal point?
Everytime I see a swt 444 or 450 it reminds me just how much better than southern they truly are, more spacious, more comfortable an hell of a lot more reliable
I don't know. I can only assume that they did. The 444 and 450 units are extremely comfortable to travel on
Have you considered filming at Nuneaton?
+Robert Pinfold I have been there once before and I will be returning as part of my WCML series during the later half of this year
I thought that the south west trains were not a 158 around Trowbridge they are 159s
I wouldn't know to be fair, I'm not completely family with how SWT operate their services
+Tornado922 You should work for GWR To be a train driver
Rachael Tennant one day :)
+Tornado922 :P
Any chance you can come to Scotland say Inverness
Great video m8
Thanks very much
could you at some point visit Cheltenham Spa?
I may look into it but I can't promise anything at this stage
Have you done trains at Trowbridge? if not can you?
+Rachael Tennant I've never been there before but I can give it a look when I get the opportunity
Do south croydon next?
Why is the class 450 and 350 the same? Are there any differences?
They are the same train essentially. The only real difference is that the 450 runs off 3rd rail power whereas the 350 variants run off overhead wires via their pantograph. The interior design might be slightly different to cope with the different needs of the network that they run on but fundamentally they are the same train
When you going to Dawlish?
It really nice place do you like beach and train line next to? Well you can!
Have you done Wigan North Western?
I haven't as of yet but I will do this year
Thanks!
158 everywhere at the start of the video btw i subbed and liked
There's plenty of 158 units to keep you going. Thanks very much for liking and subscribing

Nice video, subscribed
+Markrailwayvideos Thank very much

***** 😂👍 they are awfully generic and extremely irritating when they use a recording to apologize for a late train
Thomas Mahoney even human announces run off a script which bugs me
***** I know, they should her whoever is responsible and available to make a personal apology. The only good one I've heard is a famous one in Wales in the valleys, the announcer would say "the train is late due to a cock up"😂😂😂😂😂
Thomas Mahoney now that's a proper announcement 😂😂😂
Because I like that station
would you ever go to Newcastle central again
I was there yesterday as it happens. The film will be up later during the week
Cool I may go there today as its my nearest and im only 14 so I cant travel a lot
does freight even go down this station?
Yes every so often
Yes when I was waiting for a train to Manchester I saw two or three freight trains pass though
Did you notice the bird at 3:15
No I can't see the bird at 3:15
have you done redbrige station
I don't think so
SWT are now SWR
I know :)
How about this station Greenhithe
Again it's somewhere that I can certainly look into
OK thank you :)
very nice video! just subbed your channel!
cheers ;)
Thanks very much for saying so and thanks very much for subscribing :)
Do one at Letchworth
I will look into it
nice video
Thanks I'm glad you liked it
Tornado922 are you psychic? Im planning to do some videos on the SWML and was looking for a video like this. Thanks for the vid.
+Golden Boat910 BTW the first one will be at Surbiton. If you want to come then please feel free on 2:30pm on 5th March.
Hahaha, I wish I was. I'm glad you liked this video. Unfortunately I am working on that day
Oh well. You can watch it when it goes up!
Yeah I'll give it look
I apologise for chuckling when you said South Western Trains. I didn't mean to.
I didn't even know you did 😂😂
Like i said i am sorry for disrespecting such an awesome person like you.
Southampton
Southampton|Dundee|and that’s it
you should of went to eastleigh while you were down here
Next time I'm down this end of the world I will be filming there
I thought south west trains DMUs were class 159s
Well that was my understanding but evidently not
They are 158s and 159s
I can never really tell the difference between the two
I really don't think there is
do a trains at Winchester on the SWML
Do Littlehampton it's My favourite Stop
I'm sure I'll get round to going there one day
Tornado922 Strnanhe going through my reccomendatikns found this and I'm at Southampton nice place even Isle of Wight. I came on a Southern from London Victoria.
Please can you go to branksome
+ACE FLYING SCOTSMAN Ace fs I will eventually
Thanks
2019?
I will be coming here in a few months time
Where?
"SouthWesternTrains" - When GWR and SWT become one xD
+A Kinky Apple In all honesty I cant remember saying that :D
***** some of us just have our moments.
I actually visited Clapham Jn for the first time today, brilliant half an hour, they even tested out the fire alarm systems while I was there. I've never been to such a busy station in my life! Great fun :D
A Kinky Apple the station is a complete and utter mad house 😂😂 it's completely crazy there
***** Totally! I love it, I think it's hillarious seeing everyone running around for their trains, and the number of trains!
221123 is my stalker at least its away from me
