Rush Hour Trains at: Welham Green, ECML, 02/07/21

A very good but odd evening spent at Welham Green on the East Coast Mainline where we see services from Great Northern, Thameslink and LNER.
For some reason the services were all over the place coming southbound all evening and Realtimetrains was having a right nightmare trying to make heads or tails of it all which in turn completely throw me as trains were coming and going when I wasn't expecting them to do so. The issue seems to have been somewhere just south of Stevenage from what I could work out. But what that issue was I wouldn't have the faintest idea. Hence why Hull Trains and Grand Central won't be making appearances in this film.
Welham Green is a nice enough station but I don't think I would be coming back here again, there are much better stations located along that area of the line to go to.
Welham Green was opened and operated by British Rail in 1986 and has stayed in its same format ever since. The funding for the station came from Welwyn District Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Hatfield Parish and British Rail. So safe to say a few parties had their hands in this particular pie.
The only claim to fame that Welham Green has is that it was the first station in the UK to have the APTIS ticketing system in the UK, by the end of the 1980's all staffed stations in the UK had this system in place.
My next rush hour film will be from Nuneaton on the West Coast Mainline.

Great Station! I’ve been here many times and it’s Crackin.

[@vehicleswithjacob]

True

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

Brilliant video jarred must of admit those platforms are really narrow I think they need to extend them

[@jakeallerston-brockwell4148]

Some say the hull trains and gc services still haven’t passed

[@tescotrain]

Those platforms look narrow, is it just your camera, or is it actually like that?

[@camotech1314]

Confusion on the rails. 🤣
I'm inclined to think that by this point you know all the announcers at the stations by name.

[@darthjames0849]

May I have your attention please. "No you may not."

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video mate. Nuneaton will be good station to film and also for the rush hour to get many freights there is like 'all day freight days'.

[@ewanmorris3449]

That class 700 behind the 717 was 700146

[@myleshasell453]

those 360s are in service

I was here 2 weeks ago

[@tristanbeck6478]

Are you a fan of James Bond? Well if so maybe that’s where you got 91 007 from. Also, 91107 has SKYFALL on it which is also James Bond related.

[@galaxytb147]

Good video. The comment you made about going grey..made me chuckle. You sound like a jolly chap.

[@RailwayVideos.]

They could paint that former gatwick express at least; great video,very good location with a nice bend 😬

[@benholtonsrailways4020]

Fantastic filming Jarred my friend:( I always enjoy watching ur films. Any chance you can film at cardiff one day :)

[@georgedowns4034]

Hi. What equipment do you use to film? Oh and btw I choose not to wear mask on stations and public transport unless crowded cus especially with glasses, it gets really annoying. I do still keep my distance though.

[@robertstrainsnsw1596]

A good video at Welham Green lots of train delays
Hope Nuneaton is a great rush hour film

[@england902]

Wow you actually got 17.07 seconds before you said it needs a clean. I knew you couldn’t resist saying it

[@ClaretBlueTrainspotter]

Great video

[@BigDaveH1]

Mmmm Humble Pie!!!!! We all had a slice or two in our lives!
Cracking video chap

[@vehicleswithjacob]

One of my favourite stations to spot at, it's nice except for the thin platforms, I don't really feel very safe on there...

[@susanhawker3580]

I was wandering if the c2c class 387's joined Great Northern after they get replaced by the new class 720's
