- A very entertaining afternoon spent at Peterborough on the East Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from London Northeastern Railway, Thameslink, Greater Anglia, East Midlands Railway, Cross Country, Grand Central, Lumo, Hull Trains and freight from GBRF, DB Cargo UK and Network Rail.
This wasn't the original station to be found at Peterborough. In 1845 Peterborough East was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway with their line running from Ely to Peterborough and the line running from Peterborough to Northampton which now forms part of the Nene Valleyn Railway heritage line. The line from Northampton to Peterborough was built by the London and Birmingham Railway. In 1846 there was another line built going from Syston to Peterborough. In 1862 the Eastern Counties Railway became a part of the Great Eastern Railway.
Two years later the Great Northern Railway arrived on the scene when the opened up their portion of the line going from Peterborough, Spalding, Boston and Lincoln, when the line was being constructed their trains from London were using the ECR station at Peterborough East but was decided fairly on that they would need their own station. This was officially opened in 1850, two years before Kings Cross was named as the official terminus of the East Coast Mainline.
Peterborough East was closed in 1966 and Peterborough North was renamed for a second time to Peterborough which is now the current station.
The station went through several stages of modernisation where the line was electrified to having more platforms built to deal with the ever increasing demand in traffic aswell as having holding lines for freight passing through the station.
My next station will be Shrewsbury.

Thank you for these videos! my 6 year old is obsessed with them 😊 he's a budding train spotter!
You're very welcome, I'm glad they are enjoyable for you all
I've been to Peterborough quite a few times. I like Peterborough. I've also been through there when I went to York and Nottingham via Grantham.
Peterborough is a great station to come to
Awesome video! Loved the special freights (66090 and 004), the HST measurement train and the 91 set! Awesome video
overall from there :)
Thank you kindly! I had a great time getting this all put together!
Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing
lovely vid
Great fantastic video always enjoy your videos
Thanks very much :)
One my favorites of your videos! Great work!
Thank you kindly!
Great video I started spotting at Peterborough just after you left by the looks of thinks
Did you have a good time here?
@@Tornado922 yes I did variety was amazing thanks
Always liked Peterborough just such a variety of trains. Rush hour or normal at Stratford if your ever in the area.
Peterborough is always a great station to come to, I will see what I can do for you for a film at Stratford
Tarnado922 you have given me a very lot of information for Peterborough as you know we are going to great Yarmouth in September. From Birmingham New Street we will get off at Peterborough and get the Norwich train. To which should come into platform 5 6 or 7 thank you so very much for the information your a brilliant man
The reason the containers are loaded so randomly is because each container has a slot on the train. If for some reason a ship doesn't make it to port in time and doesn't make the train the slot is left empty.
Ah right ok, thank you ever so much for letting me know that! It is greatly appreciated
@@Tornado922 freight trains with big gaps make most wind. So if you see big gaps get a steady footing if its fast. I've had frightening experiences at Tamworth by the car park.
Fantastic video! I really enjoyed it! :)
Thanks very much!
Great video especially with a premiere Jarred! We need more of those
Thanks very much bud! I will be doing more of them when I get the chance to!
Great railway video again mate.
Thanks once again bud!
Brilliant video legend tornado I was enjoy watch your videos
Thanks once again bud
Great video at Peterborough I like the DB 66 in the climate hero livery
Thanks very much
Great video
Thanks very much
Awesome video
thanks very much
nice video great work
thanks very much!
How come some people tell us on where the train's are coming from and where they are going to? But you are good on giving us the information brilliant
I'm glad you like my commentary
Hi Tornado922. Great film at Peterborough. Great 2-tone from 82214 at 24:26 too. Correct information for you: at 3:41, it was 180101 going to Bradford Interchange, at 15:30, it was 180103 with the green stripe going to Sunderland and at 30:33, it was indeed 180106 going from Bradford Interchange. To work out the numbers of the Adelante services, there is the same 5-digit number on the side of each carriage, and the last 2 digits of that number will help you work it out. For example, 50903 means it is 180103. I loved the LNER Azumas because I enjoyed hearing the whines and the squeaky brakes before they stopped. Loved their amazing acceleration too. Looking forward to next film at Shrewsbury. Kind regards, Chris.
Hi Chris. I have a feeling GC have messed with the sets as the first car was 50903 (ie 180103) but the rest of the set related to 180112. Is this something they normally do? Cheers, Steve
Hi Steve. Maybe Grand Central have done it with some of their trains and not all of them, but I don't know for definite if it is what they normally do. Did I use the correct information about how to work out each 180 set on the Adelantes? Kind regards, Chris.
@@chriswhitaker4577 Yes, definitely. That's how I've always identified the 180's without a full set number. All the best, Steve
Another awesome video and agree ecml is the HSTs home 👍🍺
Thanks very much bud
awesome
Thanks very much
Great video there as always! I am a fan of the Monaco Grand Prix incidentally even though not much probably goes on! Good to see you're into the MotoGP like me! Well I guess there's more than one racing fan that also likes trains eh? 😂 I also noticed that this was a premiere, so hopefully more to come. I didn't get the chance to get involved in the live chat... well a special day for us is happening to be fair but I found a break to watch this video. I have been on the Sonning Road Overbridge today and it was all right for a Sunday with plenty to be seen despite there being no freight.
Thanks very much, I do enjoy most of the races from the F1 calendar however Monaco isn't one of them. I find the racing very processional, the only time anything of interest happens is when something goes wrong in the pits. But I do love MotoGP much more than F1 I will be honest, the racing is always amazing no matter the track that they go to. I will be doing more premieres when I get the chance to as this one seemed to go down rather well with the viewers
@@Tornado922 Leclerc went out from the lead in the last race! After a virtual safety car restart, Russell caught Perez napping and snatched a podium! I do hope that we see a lot more of this mainline covered this year! Any non-UK related films this year?
@@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784 I was gutted for Leclerc putting it into the wall as he was having a solid race up until that point. Hearing him screaming no was quite chilling. It was great seeing Russel taking Perez on the restart. God knows why he wasn't ready for Russel to attack him. I will be going to Germany later this year
Another top video. Not sure if you have been there before, but I spent an hour at Water Orton near Birmingham on Friday. In that hour I saw 6 freight trains as well as the usual 170's and 220/221's that work the passenger trains for Cross Country. May be some where you could visit?
Thanks very much, I have been once before many moons ago. It is a station I have every intention to go back to at some stage in the future.
Great video featuring all the train stock on that part of the ECML as usual 😊 When will you be back in Devon?
Thanks very much James, I'm not to sure when I will be back down to Devon but it will be within the next few months
Hi buddy welcome back from Alan Shelley in Lowestoft
Thanks
good video
nice 390 account picture
Thanks very much
A cracking video J enjoyed it loved he 225 and they should be running for quite some time yet they are helping to fill in for the azumas with the cracked bogie frames
acording to Hitachi its going to take upto 6 years to repair /replace them all , so bring on the 225s i love them so comfortable not the ironing board azumas A T B J
catch you next time :) Syd
This is always a great station to come to, I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. Catching the 225 sets is always great :)
When you hear that squeak from the azumas, because the azumas are on high speed brakes that is why
VIDEO WARNING:
This video solely contains of squeaky brakes, busted Maersk containers and a wild Jarred mistaking a 170 for a 700.
Gotta keep you on your toes ;)
great video as always, where do you park there then ? and how do you ask to just go onto the platforms ?
Thanks very much, there is a car park located to the north of the station that runs alongside the line where there is sufficient parking for plenty of cars, in terms of coming onto the platform to do some spotting I would just ask one of the staff who mans the ticket barriers. I always tend to buy an open return ticket to the next station up the line
6:34 this sounds like sqidward from spongebob
Having never watched it I wouldn't have the faintest idea what you're talking about
Sorry I ment to say that I'm coming from Birmingham New Street station to great Yarmouth a very long journey. Really I don't like using the toilets on the train
I used to live in Peterborough
righteo
cant they put up a barrier to keep the pigeons away or a certain sound sensor to scare them off before trains come thru?
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done
180112 'James Herriot' was the 180 with the green stripe on it. Ignore the fact that it says 180103 on it. They've put some hybrid 180's out of late. That 180103 that you mentioned has three cars from 180101 in it for example. 180106 has the center car from 180103 I think as another example. Also 180107 'Hart of the North' is currently running as a four car unit as the first class coach from it has gone. More corrosion? Firstly 180110 for East Midlands Railway and now 180107 for Grand Central! 180107 should be back as a five car unit soon unlike 180110 though I would think. Who knows though!
That's a real mix bag of a train then!
@@Tornado922 Correct!
Just good as the hst bud
Very much so
Why is it the 700’s make the desiro and electrostar sounds?
When the 700s put their pantographs up the engine sound changes
Is there any toilets on platform 6/7 ?
3:41
What is your favourite freight train and why?
It would be one of the car trains that run around the UK, just nice seeing something other than intermodal traffic all the time
@@Tornado922 Hi @Tornado922, thanks for the nice reply. I’m a huge fan of trains and my favourite train is LNER class 800s ‘cause I’ve been on one going To Leeds
Hey Tornado, I just want to ask, were you at Ely Station yesterday? I was nearby and I saw a Platinum Jubilee special 67-mk3-67 service. I saw a train spotter but I didn't know who it was. Was it you?
that wouldn't have been me as I haven't been anywhere near Ely this year
5:47
Those r class 755s
I know
I'm not a fan of the 745/755, don't think they look quite right. In my opinion, they're not a patch on the old 90's which were used in Anglia. But great video as always!
at 0:17 didn't you mean east midlands railway?
He did mean East Midlands Railway, yes.
5:47 that is a VERY painful spot for the bird to be hit. I hope it's in good care on the other side.
I'm sure it is
What is lsl bud
Locomotive Services Limited
24:26
Where is the blood on the Azuma?
It would be on the front of the nose covering the coupling gear
34:53
If you see 755403 I have sen that
What the hell I thought the HSTs went extinct
Nah they are far from retirement
@@keiranclarke2955
Then why did they stop being on operation in 2019
@@yui4779 it was LNERs decision to replace them with the new Azumas. You've still got ScotRail hsts and gwr South of England and Cross country hsts running around
@@keiranclarke2955
I live on ECML
@@yui4779 me too mate where abouts do you live.
