- A very entertaining afternoon spent at Clapham Junction on the South Western Mainline where we see plenty of services from South Western Railway, Southern, Southeastern and London Overground along with a few flights thrown into the mix.
Because of industrial action taking place that day it meant that Clapham wasn't as busy as it usually is but it didn't take away any of the fun that you would expect from this station. Much like last year I'm afraid.
There's a rich and varied history to come with this station and even though there were lines passing through the site there wasn't a physical station here for a good few years. Before the railway reached Clapham the area was rural and oddly enough specialised in Lavender. Hence why you have Lavender Hill in the area. In 1838 the London and Southampton Railway became the London and South Western Railway which then proceeded to open a line from Nine Elms to Woking. That was the first railway line through the area. The next line to operate was the line from Nine Elms to Richmond which opened in 1846. Two years later Waterloo was opened which then made Nine Elms redundant. In 1860 the line to Victoria was opened and three years later Clapham Junction was opened and was done as a joint venture between the London and South Western Railway, the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and the West London Extension Railway as an interchange for all of their lines.
When the station was built much of the Battersea area was heavily industrial and the Clapham area was fashionable (insert joke here) this actually worked in the railway companies favour as they all wanted to try and get the more upper and middle class people from the surrounding areas to come to Clapham. Which did work for a while, unfortunately there was a negative that was to come with all this. Because of the fact that the Battersea area was heavily industrial it meant that a lot of under privileged people at the time came into the area for work. Because of this the local population sky rocketed and went through the roof. In 1840 the local population was just touching 6000 and by the time 1910 decided to say hello the population was knocking on the door of 168,000. The area was full of slums which was eventually replaced with council housing by 1975. And they say the area has improved...........

Another great video, also I love how it is a restricted timetable and there are still so many trains running but after all, it is Britain's busiest station in terms of volume of trains
Even with a reduced timetable there was still plenty of traffic to be seen
@@Tornado922 I know it's so much service all the time
Great video Tornado922, can't wait until the new year, when u come back to do some filming at trains stations.
thanks ever so much
Nice post, there. and the lamp looked ok, too :-) All the best to you.
It was rather good wasn't it ;) haha thanks very much
@@Tornado922 - Don't forget - at three seconds to midnight on the 31st, lift your left foot off the floor. That guarantees that you will start 2020 on the right foot! :-P
@@hamshackleton I'll be sure to remember that Haha
What the hell are the strikes for now? And the complexity of this place never ceases to amaze me.Merry Christmas Tornado and thanks for all your videos.Great
Something to do over the role of guards on the train from what I could understand. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas
"Go on seagull, have a word son!" Love it! Your waffle gets better and better! Best wishes for 2020.
Well it wouldn't be one of my films without some waffle haha, I hope you have a wonderful new year
Merry Christmas Tornado922!
I hope you had a great Christmas and you have a wonderful new year
2020 even now sounds futuristic not to mention 2050.
Just been watching the Clapham Junction noticing the class 455s with an ex class 508 carriage in a few sets but definitely do planes too you'll have to do Manchester Airport too👍
When I get the chance to I will definitely start at getting some airports around the UK covered
these recent ones have been all over the place, i went to Severn valley junction the other day, would recommend although you didn't go not long ago
I try and keep them varied haha, I would happily go back there again
Happy new year Tornado922

Likewise to you
ufo above the 777 at 22:16 looks like a 777 not a dreamliner
I wouldn't have the faintest idea
Which company was on strike?
Which do you think dickhead
Mackem88 Rail and Air Hub South west trains but a b there is no need to be so rude
@@ab-yt6uq shut up.
@@trainspotter930 i hate rudeness like
@@ab-yt6uq theres no need for that!
What camera/camcorder do you use?
I use a Samsung Galaxy Tablet
@@Tornado922 It videos very nicely for a tablet!
@@dsintel6652 Or on phone
Planespotters or Aviation Geeks
I think plane spotters works well enough
If you are interested in doing aircraft videos, check out BigJet TV videos, it will give an insight into filming and identifying aircraft. Also download FlightRadar 24, to give details of the flight concerned. Good video as normal, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Yeat to you
I will give that a look! Thanks for the recommendation! I hope you had a great Christmas and you have a wonderful new year
No videos in a month?!
I usually take most of January off from filming
The train at Platform 7 is 2020 service to 2021 (I hope!! 😕) Calling at:
Black Widow solo Movie
Shang Chi
Euro Football 2020
Class 720s in passenger service
Class 701s in passenger service
Class 802s on the WCML
Birds of Prey
No time to die (For Bond. *James* Bond)
Mulan (Realistic)
Wonder Woman 1984
Brexit
Tenet
New Mutants
The Eternals
Tokyo Olympics 2020
Halloween
Christmas
And New year 2021.
This train is formed 14, 000, 605 carriages. First class however is found in only ONE of the carriages!! If you are 1st class passenger and you need help accessing this carriage, then I suggest you call an Avenger!!
Passengers for the new Sonic movie should change at 2021 as the CGI had to be improved in order to remove the cringy Monstrosity that was used in Cats, despite its good singing!! Passengers Not for Euro 2020 should note that Wembley will be insanely gridlocked. So if you intend to go through there, DO IT BEFORE THE EURO CUP STARTS!! The 2020 service to 2021.
Third
Rail
