  • Tuesday 23rd April 2024. I take Tommy on a railway adventure to discover the delights of Leicester Railway Station and The Locomotive Inspection Point. The idea was to gather scenes from all around the station and along the railway cutting leading into the station but sadly the weather turned. luckily for us the previously owned Cross Country HST set (Now owned by Colas Rail as a test train) finally came out of the siding and into the depot for refueling. It came back out again and before heading back into the siding the rear power car started up for us all to hear her roar. Like I say in the title, Leicester never disappoints. I hope you enjoy and thank you to all the railway staff that made our day extra special.

    Nice to see the fresh seats on the 222, and they're still just as comfy 😊

      Lol nah he can keep that shirt. I want a shirt that says "You can't put brains in coconuts" with an arrow pointing up 😂 Kettering is beautiful but one thing i don't like that changed is the underpass. That tunnel was awesome.

      I would like my boys to grow up understanding that the weather is just part of the experience and fun can still be had. 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting 😁

    That set of carriages look just like the Abelio Greater Anglia - my local trains.

    Does Thomas like model railways? If so, consider coming to the Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club. Our next Open Day is the last Sunday in May. The club complex is behind the public toilets at Broxbourne Mill.

    When is Purple & Co Facebook page/group starting? Will us spotters be able to post photos & videos on it?

      I'm currently struggling with what I do have on my plate Kirk. Probably not the best of moves just yet.

    I wouldn’t call a nice HST train and some long freight trains is really disappointing!! But there again, I’m not a train spotter!!

    Leicester has been a disappointment since the coaling tower went out of use. Even worse since the birdcage was closed.
