- A fantastic and very busy evening spent at Luton Airport Parkway on the Midland Mainline where we see no end of services from East Midlands Trains and Thameslink aswell as flights from Ryanair, EasyJet, Wizzair and a few others of which I'm not overly familiar with. Along with a few private jets just to mix things up.
Because of the nature of the station there isn't actually all that much to really tell about it. When it was opened in 1999 it was purely done so for the benefit of the airport, a free shuttle bus service was operated at the time by National Car Parks linking the station to the airport. This service was eventually handed over to First Capital Connect who added a charge to every passenger using the bus, you can walk from the station to the airport but it was far easier to get the bus, there are plans to bring to shuttle bus back into free running again now that Govia are running the Thameslink programme again but there isn't a set date as to when this will happen.
The physical building hasn't changed much at all, it was built with 4 platforms in mind as that was the layout of the MML and obviously still is to this day, the only difference being that the platforms have been lengthened in 2008 to accommodate 12 car trains, this was the first station on the Thameslink network to do this. There was a new entrance built on the station linking to Kimpton Road which is on the other side of the station to make ease of access all the more better, this was done in 2013.
The newest feature to this station is the current building of a new a link going from the airport to the train station. This is hopefully going to be finished in 3 years time and will be a monorail ferrying passengers to the airport at a quicker time that it is currently done via the bus. I would assume that this will be a free service but only time will tell. And I would also hazard a guess that this will also be operated by Thameslink.
For those of you looking out for the aircraft in this film they are terribly frequent but I did try and capture all of the departing planes when I could, and because I didn't do my homework I didn't have the faintest idea what any of them were so I apologise for completely killing the plane spotting hobby XD
My next station is going to be Potters Bar but this wont be done until June 7th as I am away for a week.

I Love Rush Hours On The Midland Mainline. With The Additional Thameslink And EMR Services. I Enjoy Watching These!
Luton Airport Parkway is my favourite station in Luton!
Nice video here. The Thameslink 700s looked amazing. Have fun when you
are away as well. 👍🏻
Thanks very much, the 700's are growing on me
Luton's my home town, I grew up close to the airport but trains are more my thing, especially those majestic 43's. Fab video, thanks
Such a fan of those 'hideway' style sliding doors. From an efficiency perspective they are much better.
Excellent work as always.
Thanks very much
Hi 👋 mate great 👍 video and wow 😮 2 thameslink together
Thanks very much
Keep up the nice long films. HSTs left service with GWR a couple days ago (except the short sets in Cornwall) oh well. Nice video though thanks!
These films will be done every Friday evening :)
Nothing like a 787 or 757 lovely sounds for commercial a\c I mean. Rail,Road...in background...air...all you need is a ship now and you have filmed all our transport options...lolz blue sky with gorgeous flffly clouds...nice.
If only this were next to a port haha
another fantastic video here, i really enjoyed this :)
Thanks very much
Very very amazing video I think you deserve to get 100k subscribers and since you're the best youtuber in the world can you please give me a shout out because I really appreciate it
Thoroughly enjoyable film jarred, that blue airline you were unsure of is Blue Air, a romanian airline, thumbs up from me as always
Thanks very much Tom and thanks for letting me know about that airline :)
58:17 that was Blue Air Boeing 737-500
Righteo thanks for letting me know
It's nice to see the former grand Central HST's being used by east Midlands trains
It's nice just to see HST's on the mainline
Just to help you out Wizzair an Hungarian Airline not polish lol another enjoyable video buddy keep up the good work
As you can tell my airline knowledge is very minimalistic haha
Love your rush hour videos
Thanks very much
Great video.
Thanks very much
For your amusement, watching the wildlife in the bushes can be more interesting than the trains, especially when they are nearly all 222's or 700's. You could always run a sweepstake on the number of splattered flies on the front! :-)
I may just very well do that next time haha
Congrats on 6k
WOW!!! 😮😮 HST screaming too loud!! That sounded really awesome!
They are stunning trains when going at full pelt
They are
The point You made about the pantographs accumulating dirt off the catenary is/was a big issue on the GEML, they had the oldest wires (now replaced) on the national rail network with the worst dirt to exist, you could see it on the front of class 379s.
I also noticed when I've been filming on the GEML that there is a lot of dust being kicked up by the trains when they are passing through an area at speed
According to what I've learned :
Ryan Air = 737
Easy jet and wizz air = A320 family (A320, A321, A319 or A318)
Can't tell which model be exact but I can say which family of planes they belong as budget airlines only operate one type of plane. (Turning the mic forward towards the true aviation enthusiasts)
P.S. sorry for my poor English
No mate your English is fine don't worry
Ryanair: 737-800
Easyjet: A319-100, A320-200 and A320neo, A321neo
Wizzair: A320-200, A321-200 and A321neo. On order are 70 787's and some A321XLR's
@@hateornges wizz air is having boeing 787's?
Great video
Thanks very much
Very nice video;) Adding one thumb up from me;)
Thanks very much :D
First time you see ex Grand Central HST was transformed as East Midlands Trains service to Corby 🙌
I've seen it running around plenty of times but that was the first time I had caught it on film
@@Tornado922 cool and is nice u do rush hour train videos that awesome
Great work! B.P.
Thanks very much
Nah... As always, I thank you! B.P.
Can You Do Another Film At Gatwick Airport
Just struck me... why do those Thameslink 700s have couplers when they are (as far as I know) never coupled together because a 24-car train would surely be too long for any station?
Yindee8191 00 presumably to couple to locos incase one failed and needs to be hauled off the line.
Couplers are mainly used in the depot and as Supreme said also used for when a train breaks down.
Supreme Leader Oh yeah... don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
They also had couplings installed on them for when they were being delivered by rail into the UK. GBRF would be bringing the stock down the line but you would see barrier wagons in-between the 700's and the 66 as they weren't compatible
When will u do letchworth. Great video
I'm not sure when I will go there
It's impossible to not like your vids.
Thank you kindly
Why does he saying "Go on, girl!" of the smokes coming out of the engine?
It's hard to explain
It's because the hst is smoking like mad
In this video I found that some of the 700's have an amazing acceleration.
They have outstanding acceleration
@@Tornado922 So, better than 800's and/or HST's? Or how would you compare them?
Why the 700s have two pantfaes
Nice trains those 700`s
They do look good
You should do a live stream!
I will do one eventually :)
That blue and white aircraft is called Blue Air.
Thanks for letting me know
Do EMT pay you royalties for naming one of their plastic boxes after you and why didn't they invite you to perform the naming ceremony? Another excellent video thanks.
It would be nice if they did! I think it's rather rude I wasn't invited to the official naming haha :)
Is the highest speed limit on this MML 110mph or 125mph
125mph
ryanair uses the boeing 737-800
easyjet uses airbus a319s,a320s and now a321 aircraft
wizz air uses the a320 and a321.
Have you ever been to Wigan north western before?
I haven't been there yet
Cool can you go to St Pancras plz??
I have a film from there on my channel from earlier on in the year if you wish to go and check it out
Nice video. I thought I heard that the service your system said was the 17:20 to Rainham, I thought I heard The announcement say that it was the 17:18. I don’t know though. Have you considered using national rail rather than real-time trains? You can download the app or go onto the website.
I would probably just stick with RTT in all honesty. It hasn't really lead me astray just yet
Tornado922 haha.
OMG I WAS THERE I DAY AFTER GOING ON HOLIDAY XD (24th may)
Hope you had a good time
Can you please do a video at Hull
I will be going there later this year
Tornado , whats the app you use that tells you what trains are coming through or stopping at whatever station your at?
RealtimeTrains
@@Tornado922 how do I download real time trains on the computer please tell me xx
@@dianecooper9932 it’s a website
Do you want to go to record at Biggleswade and ST Neots
Sadly not
Nothing can touch the hst.....sounds like nothing else. anyone else think the 700s are ugly from side ?...frontal looks good...the wings are ugly.....as they always pull quite a lot of carriages,I assume they are a powerful unit .?
The HST is a stunning train and it will be a sad day when they eventually get retired for much newer trains, the class 700 is an EMU so the power is distrusted equally throughout the train which is why it can pull away so well
Hi I'm going to Luton later
I hope you enjoy your time there
That B737 with blue on it is blue air a Romanian airline
Thanks for letting me know
Tornado922 your more then welcome
Learjet private that is
