The 379s should be placed on northern to replace the last 319s and on ScotRail to get rid of the 318s, if that's not enough then what's left could replace class 320s and 321s
@@n1thmusic229 they are already using 323‘s to replace the 319‘s and the 319s going to be converted to 769’s to run on Southport services to hopefully get some Sprinters over to the east to replace the 153’s
@@transitcaptain all of them are being converted? Well then say goodbye to more 321s or maybe Royal Mail could take on some 379s now that I think about it, the 325s are getting quite old
Excellent video!! Love seeing the fast greater anglia trains passing through Meridian Water! I missed the class 317 and 379 but I love the class 720 and I like the class 745!
I love them too! I genuinely think that the FLIRTs are the best new train this country has had for years. The 317s are classic though and I'm sure they will be missed for years.
I had to go and capture them Daniel, those 317s have been the mainstay in West Anglia for far longer than I can give them justice. Hopefully there will be a farewell for them. Thanks as always 😃
Awesome one, finally managed to get out and trainspot at Grove Park,but I accidentally messed the clips up and put 1 in twice an the next 0 times. Still proud of it thouhh
I certainly was not expecting it! Yes it appears all of the 379s are now branded Greater Anglia only which makes sense since they’re only on regional services now. Thanks Arnold 😃
Thanks Owen, I don't think the video demonstrates just how loud and shrieking it is! Its nice to see newer stock to not have pathetic sounding horns though, it catches your attention which is exactly the purpose of a horn. 😃
Yep! Your absolutely right! It’s funny to look back at because I was set up for a beautiful shot as it came around the bend but then it all collapsed 😂 Yep the same driver returned on 1B53 so I had to stick around to see him return just in case 😃 Thanks Jon, great to see you watching, I really appreciate it!
Hey, how come the train from this moment of 6:43 he was going from Hertford East to London Liverpool Street, But the Class 720 destination sign said it was out of service, huh?
I’m hoping that Greater Anglia are expecting to start introducing the Class 720 Aventras in few months time. With the Class 317 and Class 379 Electrostar to be replaced by the Class 720. And the Class 745/1 Flirt that have entered service on Stansted Express which has replaced the Class 379. Maybe Greater Anglia should keep the Class 379s because they are ideal for the Stratford-Meridian Water shuttle and Stratford-Hertford East, Bishops Stortford and Harlow Town services.
Thanks Ricky, the West Anglian Mainline is rarely seen as a line for fast trains, but, it’s definitely possible! It looks like Meridian Water currently shares the same fate as nearby Angel Road (closed) and has limited use. I don’t even think that I saw 10 passengers whilst I was here. 😃
I believe outside the peak it is one per hour (to Stratford). In the Peak there are several Liverpool Street services. Its quite a poor service considering this station was built in 2019!
That Class 745 driver was a legend
You don't quite realise how loud it is until you see the cameraman jump hahaha
1:19 mega horn blast
Main trains:

I think that GTR Great Northern are inheriting the Class 379s. But some could go to GWR to be used on Reading-Newbury shuttle service.
1:29 The train got You! 😜
Nice video! Lovely GA variety! Funny tones from 745105 lmfao
It certainly got me Jacob! Those horns are seriously loud at a distance. 😃
That was the Imperial March.
Loved the London Overground 317
Thanks GoogleHomeBoi, I like the 317s and it’s a shame that they are being replaced. 😃
@@StarlifeStudios hi have the ex LO 317s been replaced yet
@@ab-yt6uqYes
Excellent video!! Love seeing the fast greater anglia trains passing through Meridian Water! I missed the class 317 and 379 but I love the class 720 and I like the class 745!
Nice class 720 shot.
Thanks Nathan, I was really happy with those 720 shots. It will soon be the norm on this line.
1:23 Impirial march
The flirt horns sound so strange lol, nice video 👌👌
Really nice video. Loving those 317s and FLIRTs! 👍
I love them too! I genuinely think that the FLIRTs are the best new train this country has had for years. The 317s are classic though and I'm sure they will be missed for years.
Great video as always also nice catches of potentially the last class 317s on the line especially the ex-London Overground /7s
I had to go and capture them Daniel, those 317s have been the mainstay in West Anglia for far longer than I can give them justice. Hopefully there will be a farewell for them. Thanks as always 😃
@@StarlifeStudios no problem mate keep up the good work and i can tell now that you upload every sunday mainly
@@StarlifeStudios Can you explain to me why the trains sometimes pass through through the stops
Some are fast services and have limited stops, some stop everywhere
Awesome one, finally managed to get out and trainspot at Grove Park,but I accidentally messed the clips up and put 1 in twice an the next 0 times. Still proud of it thouhh
10:55 zoomed in shot u can see the original station that meridian water replaced
Great video mate. Great tone from the driver on 745105 and coming back and I noticed that they scrap/take off the Stansted Express brand from 379s
I certainly was not expecting it! Yes it appears all of the 379s are now branded Greater Anglia only which makes sense since they’re only on regional services now. Thanks Arnold 😃
Great video! Never knew there was class 720s doing services down here! I thought it was just 745 with stansted express
11:49 last time I heard that horn I fell down the stairs and spilled my coffee
Thanks Owen, I don't think the video demonstrates just how loud and shrieking it is! Its nice to see newer stock to not have pathetic sounding horns though, it catches your attention which is exactly the purpose of a horn. 😃
Great railway video as always
Thanks Imperialist 😃
Ah, those Flirts and their "Strangled Goat" Star Wars Imperial March tones @ 1:22. Think that driver caught you out there! Same driver at 11:48?! :)
Yep! Your absolutely right! It’s funny to look back at because I was set up for a beautiful shot as it came around the bend but then it all collapsed 😂 Yep the same driver returned on 1B53 so I had to stick around to see him return just in case 😃 Thanks Jon, great to see you watching, I really appreciate it!
1:20 i knew that he got scared because his camera flinched when the 745 blasted it's horn.
It got me for sure! 😃
This station is real quiet, dont even remember seeing much staff here 😧
I’m pretty sure this station is unstaffed outside of peak hours. I didn’t see anyone either! 😃 Thanks.
Hey, how come the train from this moment of 6:43 he was going from Hertford East to London Liverpool Street, But the Class 720 destination sign said it was out of service, huh?
Fantastic video! I really enjoyed this :)
Glad you enjoyed it Trainspotter11 😃
1:21 he got scared lol
1:24 driver kind of scared you 😬
Just a bit 😂
I’m hoping that Greater Anglia are expecting to start introducing the Class 720 Aventras in few months time. With the Class 317 and Class 379 Electrostar to be replaced by the Class 720. And the Class 745/1 Flirt that have entered service on Stansted Express which has replaced the Class 379.
Maybe Greater Anglia should keep the Class 379s because they are ideal for the Stratford-Meridian Water shuttle and Stratford-Hertford East, Bishops Stortford and Harlow Town services.
Maybe! This is a line which will have very little variety in a few month time! Thanks Andrew, great to hear from you 😃
@@StarlifeStudios No problem :)
Stella of a video. Meridian Water, think it is one of the least used stations in the area?
Thanks Ricky, the West Anglian Mainline is rarely seen as a line for fast trains, but, it’s definitely possible! It looks like Meridian Water currently shares the same fate as nearby Angel Road (closed) and has limited use. I don’t even think that I saw 10 passengers whilst I was here. 😃
Awesome video, keep the good work!
Thanks easygo147!
The 7 tone horn
It got me as well!!
I'm surprised at how few trains stop here I thought trains called at 15 minute intervals each way
the shuttles do and in the peak,Bishop Stortford trains stop there.
Nice one sorry I'ven't been here in a while
No problem! I'm glad your here. Im sure you're very busy with your everyday life 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Yeah so much to the point that I still haven't finnished that song made out of those sounds you gave me
brilliant video
Many thanks TTV! 👍
Do any trains actually stop here on a regular basis bar the two in this video?
I believe outside the peak it is one per hour (to Stratford). In the Peak there are several Liverpool Street services. Its quite a poor service considering this station was built in 2019!
1:19 epik horn 11:45 prob gave u a heart attack
Really good video
I'm glad you think so TransSpotting!
Cool
745 has a loud horn
That's scary and they're EMU as well
It’s more of a shreek than a horn. I compare those units to the APT-P, very similar bogie and horns. It got me though!
love the flirt horns, also love your videos! hope i can be as successful as you one day
Thanks for your support, you can do it JonzeyTrains! What you see before you is over 7 years of effort. I promise you its worth it 😃
@@StarlifeStudios thank you! il
keep going :))
Yeaaaaaaaaa!
A lot of trains to stanstead considering you can’t go abroad
Lots of fresh air being delivered to the airport 😃
1:22 Change of underwear required?
