Haven't really spent much time on the WCML myself, so it's always interesting to see these videos. The Pendolinos coming through the station at speed are quite a sight!
Great job as always and you don't have to apologize :) glad you are fine and like the picture said from this video we are back, welcome back for you have a great week
Fantastic video mate fully enjoyed that love seeing some Virgin Trains passing by and love how that driver give you a 3 toot that"s something you don"t get everyday but again fantastic video mate fully enjoyed it.
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, at first I really was afraid that I'd witness a tragic death with that woman being that close to the edge of the platform
It's been a while since your last video. It has been very wet at Milton Keynes, though it was worth the stay. I wonder if there was Engineering between Carlisle and Glasgow the day you were at Milton Keynes as the Virgin Trains Services went as North as Preston and Lancaster. While the distances of the West Coast Mainline between Euston and Glasgow and the East Coast Mainline between Kings Cross and Edinburgh are well documented. I had always pondered what the distances were on the CrossCountry Route. Knowing the VTEC services which travel between Kings Cross and Aberdeen cover 523 miles, ECML being 393 miles between Kings Cross and Edinburgh and CrossCountry's daily Aberdeen-Penzance service traverses 785 miles alongside the 80 mile Cornish Mainline between Plymouth and Penzance, Aberdeen-Plymouth is 705 miles, Edinburgh-Plymouth is 575 miles hence Aberdeen is 130 miles to the North and Edinburgh-Penzance is 655 miles. Plymouth is 547 miles from Dunbar and Penzance is 627 miles from Dunbar. Newcastle-Plymouth is 450 miles, Newcastle-Penzance is 530 miles, York-Plymouth is 370 miles and York-Penzance is 450 miles by XC HSTs, Voyagers and Super Voyagers.
Now that was a very great long video,I did not think that every time when I see your videos I always hear the announcements every time about the British Transport Police number and also saying (see it,see it,sorted) I have no idea what that means but anyway great video shame there isn't any southern services available and the virgin trains services bound for Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley but at least you caught the freight services at the end as a surprise and also the great tones. 👍😃😀😄👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻👍🏼
I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, what you actually hear is See it, Say it, Sort it in reference to should you see something that doesn't look right then you call the BTP, tell them whats happening and they'll come and sort it out :) Hope that helps. It was a shame that Southern weren't running any trains that day but I think the wet weather conditions made up for it
the pendo what zoomed past you at around 7:45 is 390 036/038. I paused it a few times and could just make out 036/038. wasn't the best of videos but I'm sure that's what the numbers where
Thanks very much mate I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, fortunately the footbridge I took shelter under offered plenty of protection from the rain, it meant that I was able to get some brilliant shots though. Didn't get any thunder that day just very heavy rain
I'm very good thanks I hope your keeping well. I wont be going to Glasgow any time soon but do keep an eye on my channel for any updates and I may end up going there later this year
Thanks very much, sometimes the WCML can be hit and miss if you're looking for freight. Some days there can be loads of running along the network and on other occasions such as that day there wasn't much running during the time that I was filming
That cannot be right. The 1719 London Midland service to Crewe was supposed to be formed of 8 coaches, not 4 because the 1646 at London Euston said 8 coaches and it must have 8 coaches for all London Midland trains to Crewe not calling at Stone, Kidsgrove and Alsager.
Sometimes they change their diagrams around to allow other trains to have longer consists. So in most cases it ends up being the Crewe train that suffers the most because the usual London to Milton Keynes/Northampton trains get more units available for use
Saw something like what that woman did at Wigan North Western a few weeks ago, was recording an 88 on a north bound freight working and as it was coming through the station at very quick speed some idiotic woman stood right at the edge of the platform so her partner could take a picture of her with the train behind her
Now I haven't got an issue with people doing that if the train is stationary and isn't going to be moving anywhere but if you've got a train hurtling up towards you the last thing you should do is stand directly infront of it. What should happen incase you slip or trip? I just don't comprehend the mind of some people, they seem to think that they will be invincible
Tornado922 exactly i was stood there thinking do you have a death wish or something there's no need to be that close to the line especially with Wigan North Western having plenty of platform space

The WCML can be a right gold mine depending on where you go and what time you get there really, sorry its taken me over 3 years to reply to you
it's great to have you back, and yes it has been a long wait for us trainspotters, but nevertheless keep up the great quality of the videos.
jarred, the convoy at the end were all numbered 66136, 67010, 67006, 92011 which is the one you missed, and 92016.

I've missed being able to get my films up for everyone to enjoy so it feels good for me to be able to share everything with everyone again

Great video. The film of the 390 s in the heavy rain was brilliant.
In think the wet weather conditions definitely made it worth while
Great job as always and you don't have to apologize :) glad you are fine and like the picture said from this video we are back, welcome back for you have a great week
Thanks very much for being so patient with me as I've been away for so long now, but I'm looking to get back into the swing of things again
hope it were great things why we saw you not as much as we like, but will always stay with you as long as i live and have youtube and internet :)
I just love your enthusiasm
One of the reasons why I love doing what I do is because it makes everyone else smile
Always does my friend..
Fantastic video mate fully enjoyed that love seeing some Virgin Trains passing by and love how that driver give you a 3 toot that"s something you don"t get everyday but again fantastic video mate fully enjoyed it.
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, I really enjoyed my time here and the tones I was getting were brilliant
It's nice to have you back Jarred despite that woman asking for a death wish you put together another nice clip
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, at first I really was afraid that I'd witness a tragic death with that woman being that close to the edge of the platform

Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, I really wasn't expecting it to be a convoy either
Enjoyed that thanks for posting!

Did Chloe make you a packed lunch?

It'll have to be next year if I do anything like that but I can give it a go

I think Fabes Trains was there with you
I was on my own that day, no one else was with me
Wow

I love your vids so much plz reply
Thanks ever so much for saying so that really does mean a lot :)
You should get a better camera mate coz the quality is average nearly.
It's from a Samsung Galaxy tablet so it's never going to be fantastic but it does the job for me
Quality is fine,just lousy weather....how good are your videos?...oh you havent got any...hmmm
