First went through here in 1962 on a railway special hauled by the Flying Scotsman on the way to York, stopped here & Doncaster, just the two platforms then and masses of sidings, its even changed from when we moved here in 79. Excellent upload, very enjoyable.
I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, this is a great station to go to, although I wished I had seen it when there was much more traction running around the country.
Other amazing video legend Tornado I was enjoying watch videos couple my favourite trains . Old intercity 91 and with flying scotsman hope keep lner that set . That wot legend lner hole intercity lively
Peterborough is 77 miles from Kings Cross and 317 miles from Edinburgh. Brighton is 135 miles from Peterborough by Thameslink. I think you’d be lucky if you caught sight of the new Lumo trains between Kings Cross and Edinburgh via Morpeth, Newcastle and Stevenage. I used to believe all trains on the East Coast Mainline between Kings Cross and Edinburgh stopped at York. However the weekday 5:40 AM LNER Flying Scotsman from Edinburgh stops at Newcastle and passes slowly through York. Lumo currently do twice daily services between Kings Cross and Edinburgh and will increase it to 5 daily services. The Lumo services slowly pass through York. There are huge potential in pax market and routes for LNER in future expansion. Huddersfield and Middlesbrough have been talked about for new LNER services. I’ve stated Dundee and Perth for new terminating LNER services. Also consider the continuation of the Borders Railway from the current Tweedbank Terminus. A spur can be added which would connect Tweedbank with Melrose and to Newcastle Airport and Gateshead Metro Centre. Maybe LNER can add services to Tweedbank, Melrose and Gateshead Metro Centre via Edinburgh. By the way, I’m going to Bournemouth on Thursday December 30, 2021. I’m doing a day trip there. I’ve booked and collected my train tickets with South Western Railway. I’m going on the 7:35 AM South Western Railway service from London Waterloo to Bournemouth where I’ll end my journey at 9:42 AM. This service continues to Poole. Wish me luck.
An excellent video from Peterborough on the East Coast Mainline even if there wasn't too much freight on offer! Good catch of the Lumo class 803 and wherever you got Lumos from must have been from Harry Potter of all things! Perhaps it was good day to cast Lumos then! Interesting to see a 156 operating from Norwich and I'll have to say that 91111 and 91119 are superb 91's! If only the Flying Scotsman 91 of 91101 was with the Flying Scotswoman DVT of 82205 though! Well still a great pairing on a 225 set nonetheless, eight cars in this particular case instead of the usual nine! We do indeed need a full Intercity swallow set back on the Mainline now! Perhaps unusual seeing a five car Azuma on the Leeds runs! Great acceleration from them it must be said and the same with the one 755 Stadler Flirt too! Shame no 700's turned up but I suppose there is always next time! Another funny bit was the mentioning of the Cross Country 170 to Edinburgh! Chalk that one up to poor planning eh! Cross Country do serve Edinburgh but with the Voyagers and Super Voyagers that are the class 220's and 221's and also the HST's too, speaking of which Peterborough looks much changed without the HST's themselves and also the class 365's. Even without them the variety is still decent, which was still certainly on offer! Great colour scheme on the Azumas and 158774 in its interim East Midlands Regional livery it must be said! Looking forward to Didcot Parkway next on the Great Western Mainline, more particularly because I was at the Sonning Road Overbridge last week on the Saturday on that line as we were visiting our grandparents although sadly no freight turned up! I'll keep the fingers crossed for the Didcot Parkway video then! I have also finally figured out why Carlisle wasn't next on the list and it just had to be the weather didn't it! Well better luck next time eh!? As the saying goes, 'Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day!'
Peterborough has always been an amazing station to come to. Every year that I have been here there was always something unique to see, in this instance is was the DCR Class 60 working the sand train from Kings Lynn. It is nice still seeing the 225 sets running around as they do have a real sense of character about them.
I actually technically stand corrected with the Cross Country service! You actually mentioned it was going to Birmingham New Street in the first place! Mind you, you mentioned Edinburgh for the service to some extent it must be said! It must have been the LNER Azuma going from Edinburgh that must have forced you into a rethink about the Cross Country service! Still a funny bit nonetheless! 😂
Hey tornado, mate how have you been? It's been a really long time since I've commented on your vidoes. But I really enjoyed this video. It was odd yet satisfying seeing the 387s running around. It reminds me of the ECML pre-Thameslink days. And the usual banter never ceases to amaze me. Nice video mate! 2000
Hello there, I have been doing very well thanks, how are you? The ECML is a great line to go to as you get so much variety throughout the course of the day
Edit: they might not know where on the platform their carriage will arrive and think they have very little time to board and think they have to board at their carriage
I honestly don't understand why the likes of HullTrains, Lumo and Grand Central don't just merge, like wouldn't it just be logistically easier for the ECML to have 2 companies maybe 3 if Grand Central don't want to merge with anyone to run services to Hull as well as Edinburgh, especially since both Hulltrains and Lumo both use 800 variants? Or why doesn't LNER just do what Virgin did with the WCML, claim it as their own and buy out the competition basically? Anyone know why that isn't the case?
@@georgedowns4034 Not a clue that's why I asked lol, in a perfect world it seems like the ideal scenario, I honestly don't see why they need one specific provider to run trains from London to Hull for example
@@thatlonewolfguy2878 I can see where you're coming from. I would have to talk to someone from either company to see if that sort of thing would actually work. But then you just have to look at what the OAO (Open Access Operators) are doing, they are serving towns and cities that LNER only very rarely stop at, and even more so that LNER have stopped serving a lot of the intermediate towns in between Newcastle and Edinburgh which is why TPE (Transpennine Express) and LUMO have increased what they are doing up that end of the world.
I do like your videos. As you tell us where they are going and from brilliant keep up the fantastic. Gorgeous videos
Thank you kindly :)

Great video mate. Peterborough is a nice station to go to and nice variety to the mix. 👍👍
Thanks very much, this is a great station to come to. Especially when there is a great amount of freight coming through
Great compilation. 👍
Very nice video you put together. Hope there more to come soon.
Thanks very much, there will be films coming out every week from different places around the UK
@@Tornado922 Thanks very much for replying to my comment. Have a Great Christmas see you in the New year. Take Care & Stay Safe.

Nice video, you got few GrandCentral trains,they sound so nice
Thanks very much, this is a great line to go to for variety
Your observation on people not boarding by the nearest door is the same one I have and all my colleagues on the railway it baffles us as well
I will never quite understand it haha
Tornado your mad but a awesome video as always buddy from Alan Shelley
I do try haha
Great video at Peterborough best bit was 91111 and the flying Scottsman 82 and the Intercity swallow 91
Thanks very much, it was great seeing the celebrity 91s running around
Excellent video once again. Good variety too. :)
Thanks very much, this is always a great station to come to
Great video, hope you're well 👍
Thanks very much, I am doing very well thanks. I hope you are too.
Amazing video 👍🍺
Thanks very much :)
EMR operates a shuttle between Peterborough and Doncaster via Lincoln Central, as opposed to via the ECML
Excellent railway video as always Tornado922.
Thank you kindly :)
Also 802305 has vinyls depicting their 21st Anniversary just in case you hadn't forgotten!
I did see that at the time but had failed to mention it
I actually technically stand corrected with the Cross Country service! You actually mentioned it was going to Birmingham New Street in the first place!

It wouldn't be the first time that my mind has taken me off elsewhere haha
Great video Tornado922
thanks very much :)
So many ECML videos nowadays, first starlife studios, then ME, and now you
It's a very popular line to go on
This was uploaded on my bday
Happy belated birthday!!
It baffles me too! I think you can walk through a train to get to a particular coach.
You certainly can
@@Tornado922 Yes. It is not rocket science to walk.
Hey tornado, mate how have you been?
It's been a really long time since I've commented on your vidoes. But I really enjoyed this video. It was odd yet satisfying seeing the 387s running around. It reminds me of the ECML pre-Thameslink days.

Hello there, I have been doing very well thanks, how are you? The ECML is a great line to go to as you get so much variety throughout the course of the day
@@Tornado922 I am very good thank you. I do agree and in London, I am lucky to live near it. It is very old school but a very interesting route.
My fav train liveries in the Uk.
3rd Emr
2nd Grand Central
1st Transpenine Express
Good choices
with platform to alfreton & from Alfreton
Peterborough- Doncaster is an extension of the Lincoln train it’s been the case since May this year. I hope this helps
Ah right ok that does help, thanks for the info
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much!
Yes fam
you should have been at crewe on the 20th there was some sort of rail tour going on
I usually end up missing them when I'm out filming
I love Grand Central. Especially their livery. Where are they based?
It is a very good looking livery, as far as my understanding goes the company are based in Sunderland. But I could be wrong.
Are the Azumas bascially a class 800?
Class 800 and 801
How comes you pronounced lumo to lumos originally?
Edit: they might not know where on the platform their carriage will arrive and think they have very little time to board and think they have to board at their carriage
I can see that side of the argument
They might have a lot of luggage
They have thameslink style badges
Great Northern and Thameslink are operated by the same company so that makes sense
I honestly don't understand why the likes of HullTrains, Lumo and Grand Central don't just merge, like wouldn't it just be logistically easier for the ECML to have 2 companies maybe 3 if Grand Central don't want to merge with anyone to run services to Hull as well as Edinburgh, especially since both Hulltrains and Lumo both use 800 variants? Or why doesn't LNER just do what Virgin did with the WCML, claim it as their own and buy out the competition basically? Anyone know why that isn't the case?
Wait could that realistically actually happen?

You would think that - with all these dead birds decorating trains - only the intelligent ones with the brains to get out of the way, would be left!
Whilst you would like to think that would be the case it would appear to be the complete opposite.......
They can’t walk through train they might have luggage wh them
Plural of Lumo could be Lumi 😂
That could work haha
745 acceleration was notable.
They really do shift.
Hi
Hello
next
How very random...
