Nice video as always! Shame there were no 321's or 322's (yes can't forget them!) but I'm sure they will feature next time as will hopefully more freight! Seems weird not seeing the 360's any more and also the class 90 and 82 DVT sets! The sound of the 745's going through at speed under electrical power is phenomenal and I must say that they do look sleek and so do the 720's as well for that matter! Also I think we have invented a new class of train in the 520! Maybe one day the class 520 will exist! Who knows! 😂
Another excellent video from Tornado. I do love 720s. Great faces. Cat like eyes (lights) & cute pouting mouths with puffy little cheeks. Thanks for posting good sir
Things changed alot on the Great Eastern Mainline. Especially the liveries, back then when it was branded either as nxea or Greater Anglia (2012 brand), there were a variety of different liveries. Now it's one respective GA livery
Nice to see a video on Witham station because my gran lives around here, great work :) Also I like how Greater Anglia is rolling more 720s out, I also like the 745s :)
It is good to see a TOC using more modern rolling stock, but at the same time it is a shame to see the older units being phased out. But this is a great station to come to :)
Good video, nice to see witham as it always has been shame there was no freight or 321s/322s though, its definitely odd knowing that the 360s dont run there anymore 😔
Thanks very much, this station can be a right gold mine if you time it right, unfortunately there wasn't much freight running at all throughout the course of the afternoon
I love the 12-coach Class 745s. From Next month until mid-May 2022, the Northern Line will be closed between Kennington and Moorgate for the completion of the Bank Station Capacity Upgrades. Called the Bank Blockade, the Charing Cross Branch I.e. the West End will be even more busy as there will be Morden via Charing Cross services all day and vice versa to and from Edgware, High Barnet and Mill Hill East all via Charing Cross. Battersea Power Station will see increased frequency services I.e. every 5 mins. When Bank Station reopens in May 2022, Crossrails core section between Paddington, Liverpool Street and Abbey Wood will already be open.

Those trains have nearly the same acceleration as my tractor when it's home time lol. Another great video sir already looking forward to the next one. Thank you for taking the time to make them for us. Have a great week. Regards to you and the family
Ah the fabled "strong smell of weed"... welcome to Essex, it's everywhere in the towns and is horrible. At least yiu had a good time with the trains Also, I was on 720543 that morning from Clacton, and they have incredible acceleration, but you barely feel it on board
Short and sweet. Great picture quality, new tablet? To me the front end (cab) of the 720 series looks "finished" unlike the other 700s which give the impression that the designer couldn't make up their mind how they should look. The 745 Flirt units look amazing. To me they are far more appealing than the rather dull, by comparison, 800s.
I didn't want to spend to long here as I would just end up capturing the same things all day haha, in regards to the picture quality this is the same tablet that I have been using throughout the year so I'm not to sure as to why it's suddenly decided to work with a better picture quality all of a sudden but I'll happily take it!! I can see what you mean in regards to the two different units. The 720 does have that more 'finished' feel to it whereas the 700 kinda has a weird approach.
I maybe a bit late to ask but how do you see where the trains are going when they’re not stopping at the station ? And of course it doesn’t say on the side
Unfortunately this is a risk you take with going onto any mainline on a Saturday afternoon, sometimes you don't get any freight at all whereas other times you can get everything coming through at once.
cool video

Thank you kindly, I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
Things have changed since I visited! The 720s certainly are the main traction now despite all being just single sets (mad!). Great video.
I love the 720s
It's amazing at just how quickly things can change on the network!
@@Tornado922 indeed it is
Lovely action at Witham, short but sweet :-)
Thanks very much, I didn't want to spend to long here otherwise I would be getting the same things all the time without any freight to break it up

The GEML used to be amazing for a right mixed bag of liveries

the 745s are absolutely stunning units
Superb video. The 745's sound good at speed. :)
Thanks very much :)
Great storm! It blew my socks away!🙂
Jolly good
Another great video and do like the speed of the 745's 🍺👍
Thanks very much :)

@@StarlifeStudios😂

Thank you!!
Don't forget the pickled onion to go with your chips ;) lol.. great video as always bud :)
Oh god no ;) No pickled onions for me haha
@@Tornado922 oops.. ok... no picked onions! hahaha :)
Amazing video legend tornado I was enjoy watch your videos
Thanks very much :)
Hi Tornado. Message from John. He just wanted to wish you a Happy Christmas & he’s still watching your videos old & new. Take Care
Hello there Mark and John, I hope you both had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you both a most wonderful New Year!!!
Those trains have nearly the same acceleration as my tractor when it's home time lol. Another great video sir already looking forward to the next one. Thank you for taking the time to make them for us. Have a great week. Regards to you and the family
It's amazing how quickly your vehicles can accelerate when you're trying to get home haha, I hope you are keeping well :)
Great video shame there wasn’t any freight I might pay a visit here next year
Thanks very much, I would have liked for their to have been some freight but you can't always win
Great video.
Thank you!!
Excellent 👍👍👍 bro
Thanks very much
Great video mate. I do love the intercity stadler 745 as well they sound amazing when they go through that's stunning
Thanks very much, they have got to be one of the best sounding modern EMU's out there
Great video. Can you please go to Lichfield Trent Valley.
I will cover that next year
Amazing railway video as always Tornado922.
Thank you once again!!
Nice video😀
Thanks very much :)
The 720s are taking over witham!
Nice video mate as always
Thanks very much :)

I've only been on a class 720 a handful of times and they are absolutely amazing units to travel on
Also new class suggestions would be nice! I rather enjoyed that one involving the 520! 😂
Didn't even know I had said it lol

Ay it depends on the weather but I might might meet you at Colchester!
What time could you be there?
@@TFGtransport Colchester was filmed on the same day I'm afraid
Can You Do Marks Tey On The Great Eastern Main Line
Hi mate great video but where are the class317 gone mate
Thanks very much, the 317 doesn't run on this stretch of the network. They can be found operating around Cambridge
If you like your 720 this station is the station for you. Also cracking video again.
By the middle of next year the 321's should all be gone from the GEML which means it will just be 720's operating the slower services
I like the idea of 'biblical freight'.
'And then God came and he sayeth that there shall be freight; and there was freight' (just not in this video, in the previous one).
I maybe a bit late to ask but how do you see where the trains are going when they’re not stopping at the station ? And of course it doesn’t say on the side
I use a website called Realtimetrains for all of my information
Do you have an upcoming video at doncaster as it is my local station?
That will be done next year
@@Tornado922 Ok, thank you!
Can You Do A Video At Lockerbie
Maybe one day
Hi tornado I like your videos but can you please do more train simulator 2021 gameplay?
I will restart covering that game more often next year when I get the chance to do so
@@Tornado922 ok thanks
What is your favourite train
It depends on the role of the type of train really
Is this line speed still 125mph
Not through here
You didn't see any class 321's running on the line
Clearly not
Smell of weed? Now that's not common in the UK at all 🤣
Why are you lying there are freight trains
Read the description next time. At the time of recording that film there was a path open for a freight train but it was never activated
A disappointing video at Witham I hope there is freight in the next episode
Unfortunately this is a risk you take with going onto any mainline on a Saturday afternoon, sometimes you don't get any freight at all whereas other times you can get everything coming through at once.
next
Here's a thought for you, read the description in the film. That will tell you everything you need to know!
Great video
Thanks very much
