- A fantastic morning spent at Tring on the West Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from Virgin Trains, London Northwestern Railway, Southern and freight from Freightliner, DB Cargo UK, GBRF, DRS and Rail Operations Group.
Tring station was opened by the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837 when the company extended its line from London Boxmoor to Tring. The station gained some fame when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert took the royal train north of London and had to call at Tring in order for the train to take on water. This in turn brought out crowds of locals to see the royals and the train. Because of the level of interest that the train brought Queen Victoria asked to have the train run at a reduced speed for the remainder of the journey.
The acquisition of the land wasn't easy however as the owners of the Harcourt Estate wanted an enormous sum of money for the L&BR to build a station at Tring. However because of the town's folk were so enthusiastic about getting a train station they actually managed to raise the funds which allowed for the station to be built by bridging the gap between what the estate wanted and what the railway company were prepared to pay.
Joining me today was Trainspoteast and Camjkerman so please do check out their respective channels.
My next film is from Cheddington.

I really do enjoy the work and the filming is awesome
Great video Tring is always great :)
Thanks very much, I love coming to this station :)
Amazing video class 37s my favorite diesel loco👍😁
Thanks very much, the 37's were incredible. I really wasn't expecting them :)
Tornado922 I have never seen a class 37 I’m SOOOOOOOOOO jealous
Awesome video as always
Thanks very much for saying so :)
390153 sounds SOOO GOOD when passing
Indeed it does!
Well done tornado another great video
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed this
Cracking video mate, been an enjoyable day out!
Thanks very much bud, it was a great day out with you. Definitely have to get something sorted out for later out in the year
Great video Jarred especially seeing those two class 37's. My favourite locomotive ever. Could listen to hours of thrash from those units. I think that was the Northern Belle 47 being hauled by 37611 there. Have to double check that one.
Thanks very much mate, I really enjoyed my time here there was so much coming and going to keep me entertained, I think I got the number of the 37 but I missed the 47 as I wasn't looking for the numbers haha
Hi mate yet another great video mate
Thanks very much for saying so
Great video! Bit miffed that I missed the meet up as its my local station and also missed the 37s! Glad you caught them well though as well as lots more keep up the great work mate!
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, I'm sure next time I'm around the area we can get something organised :) It was a cracking day
Hey Jarrod. I thought I would tell where the 350/2s would be going once off lease. London Northwestern announced that they would be replacing the Class 350/2 units with brand new Class 730 "Aventra" units.
In October 2018, Porterbrook (the company that owns the 350/2s) announced it was considering converting its fleet of Class 350/2s to Battery electric multiple units for potential future cascades to non-electrified routes.
Looked like a wonderful session jarred, thoroughly enjoyed watching, nice mix of freight and goodness those 37s sounded devine, thumbs up from me mate
It was a great time spent here, I don't really give this station enough coverage but I should really come here more often :)
Great video mate!
Thanks ever so much for saying so
@@Tornado922 No worries! I enjoy every video you produce. Keep up the amazing work!
Awesome Video Bud :) 37611 sounding beautiful and it was former Northern Belle Class 57 57312 trailing :)
Thanks very much bud and thanks for the info in regards to the 57 :)
Damn those Harcourts and their miser ways ;{ Some cold days for Fly-bys, I salute you! The trio was magic, wow. 37611 incredible! Top shelf Best of '19 ;} B.P.
You'll find a lot of railways in the UK had a difficult time getting through the countryside as it was all owned by different families who just wanted way to much money which meant that the railway companies had to create bizarre routes weaving around places just to avoid any further problems. But I loved spending my time here there was so much passing through. Many thanks for watching my friend :)
Even when the Prats themselves will benefit, greed is a shame. But at least it created some amazing views along the routes. Great job and thanks again! B.P.
All your videos are great you should do another video at London Waterloo
Thanks very much for saying so that is greatly appreciated, I will be returning to London Waterloo later this year
Absolutely brilliant video, although i'm surprised you can still hear after all those tones from the drivers lol. The best part though had to be those two 37s growling away like demons. I look forward to your next video. Be well and keep safe, regards Gary.
Thanks ever so much for saying so. I think I needed a hearing aid after all of that haha, I loved having those 37's coming past in both directions :)
Ah, the joys of Tring Station. Whenever my car lets me down, this is where I end up, so I have mixed feelings about the place.
It's a 20+ minute walk to the edge of Tring too!
I kinda feel like they missed the mark when either designing the station or building the town. It would have made more sense for the station to be in the centre of Tring in my eyes
Amazing Video Here Tornado922! Very Enjoyable. I am sorry I didn't see you filming at the time. As I did not get to Tring till 12:48 in the afternoon. and I was with my other mate at time I at Tring. But their is still another time to meet up at some point :)
Thanks very much mate I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, I'm sure at some stage we'll be able to meet up sometime this year.
@@Tornado922 your welcome! And yes hopefully meet up soon :)
Best video yet.
Next time you film at Tring, stand on platforms 4/5 as you get cracking views going North.
Keep up the great work.
P.S 9:17 Looked like 47312.
Thank you ever so much for saying so, I'll be sure to give those platforms a look the next time I venture here. I didn't catch the number of the 47 but if you say it's 47312 then I shall believe you haha :)
@@Tornado922 I'd have thought it was a 57 rather than a 47. The Dellner coupling and modified roof grills would suggest this. Also, there isn't a 47312 but there is 57312 and it's livery is correct. I actually saw 57312 passing Peterbourough on Saturday which meant it was fresh in my mind :)
That throaty Growl of The Class 37's sound almost like the Alco Powered Diesels still in use here In Australia at full chat.
I have to admit I do have a keen interest in the Australian rail network and some of the trains that you have running sound absolutely stunning
Nice =)
Thanks
Did it again made an amazing video, who where those people with the tripods
thanks very much, they were people who were filming with me that day. Their names can be found in the description
18:40 the 350 was going to London Euston.
21:29 Fantastic. Pendolino to Edinburgh.
You do like your pendolino's going to Edinburgh don't you
Keiran Clarke they exist? Or is it a joke? I’m pretty sure Edinburgh is EC
I do
Fantastic video mate and ooooo that class 37 sounded sexy as fook, and is there any chance you could do a passenger video on the class 390 from London Euston to Birmingham New Street or Manchester Piccadilly or Glasgow Central or Liverpool Lime Street as I would love to see what first class is like on board Virgin Trains and what it includes.
Thanks very much this was definitely the best station of the day simply because of the variety in traffic that was coming through that morning. I would happily take all that everyday if I could. I'm looking at bringing back journeys onto my channel but I need to travel on a train for a great distance first :)
A lot of new liveries at Tring ay
A healthy variety
the 350 s are pretty swift and stylish me thinks
I would have to agree with you there
By any chance do you know how fast the VT’s pass through Milton Keynes central?
I think they are coming through at 125mph, if memory serves
Great video. Some freights were diverted via London because engineering works between Ely and Peterborough. The GBRF service was one which was diverted and I saw that and some others at Hatfield Peveral on the GEML that day :)
Peverel not peveral. I had trouble spelling it anyway!
@TrainShipSpotter456 thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. There was a great amount of traffic coming through that day so it was a blessing in disguise to have those engineering works taking place haha
Yes you did come on a good day with the DRS convoy and more!
Good vid! Do London north western railways have guards?
Thanks very much, yes LNWR do have guards on their trains
Pity Northern are trying to scrap theirs. Every Saturday we get strike action as a result and have been doing since August. My local station, Rainhill, has no trains calling there on Saturday's. The most historic station on our rail network reduced to this because of the operator that's supposed to serve it.
How do you know where all the trains are going? Is it an app because when the announcer says it’s coming it doesn’t say where it’s going, I’m soon gonna be trainspotting so this info would help, love your videos and keep it up :D
I use an App called RealTimeTrains which gives me all of my information for the trains that I'll be seeing that day :)
There's no TSR boards and I don't see any speed boards at all
The display boards are at the top end of the station. You won't find any speed signs at this station as the line speed for VT is roughly 110mph through here. For the commuter traffic and freight they will be hitting around the 90 to 100 mark. Although the freight will be limited to 80 because of their weight
What happened to the 350/3 units?
The 350/3 units have all been done in the new LNWR livery
Is Tring 2 Miles from Hemel Hempstead
Tring is 11 miles from Hemel.
Where are the 350/2s going to
They are going off lease and will be stored until a new use can be found for them
Nice video. The station is good but not as good as Milton Keynes Central. I prefer those trains via Cheddington and Leighton Buzzard than the Trains going via Kings Langley and Harrow and Wealdstone
Thanks very much, Tring is a great station in it's own rights as the layout is so unique to stations along the WCML and it's overall location from the main town of Tring itself.
Cheddington, Leighton Buzzard, Kings Langley and Harrow and Wealdstone are all on the same route? The first two are north of Tring and the other two south.
I do like Tring
