  • An excellent evening spent at Harlington station on the Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from East Midlands Trains and Thameslink.
    Harlington was built by the Midland Railway in 1868 when the line was being extended to St Pancras, its not an overly busy station in terms of passenger numbers with only 380,000 people using it last year.
    The original station building still stands to this day after it was refurbished by British Rail in the 1980's.
    It's an amazing station to come and on that I'm going to keep coming back to.
    My next station is going to be Brussels in Belgium.
    You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, videos and photos from all of my goings on throughout 2018.

    Ah the midland mainline. My old local was on the line, and I still go to it regularly. It's brilliant, and I myself have filmed at every station bar Luton! I think a trip to which, alongside returning to Harlington is in order this year!
    Great video as ever Jarred, always enjoy your stuff, but I must catch up now I have the time.
    Also, dammit 222017, you had to be in this video didn't you? 😂

    • @Tornado922
      @Tornado922  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well hopefully in a few years time I'll be doing a MML series from Sheffield to London St Pancras, albeit without the HST's sadly, hopefully their replacements will be just as good. Luton is a great station to go to and one that I do recommend. Well if you have a stalker on a railway line and I'm filming on it sods law would say that I'm always going to see it hahaha

    • @LucyMichela
      @LucyMichela 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tornado922 your last point is true there.
      The replacements better not be Hitachi rubbish or I'll be quite annoyed to say the least

    • @Tornado922

    10:26 Now I get why Steve Jobs called the powerful and speedy products / chips "screamers" , a nod to the speedy and screaming HSTs ! Their screams are the best sounds I've ever heard. ( When a HST screams, she means business and speeds ;) )

    • @Tornado922
      @Tornado922  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for saying so I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, the EMT HST's have by far and away the best sounding engines on the whole network. They just sound incredible :)

    What a cracking video and I saw a lot of Thameslink trains coming and going at Brighton and Preston Park station and ever sinced I've been on their class 700's the carriages and their seats are comfortable you should really do a train ride of them on TH-cam. 👍😃😀

    At the start it felt like I was in a model set, the station looks so Playmobilish. The Beast HST @ 10:18 I barely made out the call #, but she was flying. They all were, damn! Harlington, not much of a looker but man, she gives great stage. Brussels in Belgium, time for some Chocolate. Great job, thanks and travel safe! B.P.

    • @Tornado922
      @Tornado922  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know what you mean the station doesn't really have much going for it apart from a couple of shelters and an old station building. But on the flip side you get some incredible views and the speed at which the trains pass through is absolutely incredible, thanks very much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the film

    Just watched this video again and oh to have been at that station just to see and hear those Valentas. Think they're going to be around for a few more years yet while companies bid for the next MML franchise. I wouldn't be surprised if the bi-mode Hitachi's eventually replace the 125"s as electrification doesn't look likely. Be sad to see them go. I lived in Corby a few years back and the nearest station to me then was Kettering and used to catch a train there to visit my gf in Warrington. The HST"s used to fly by before my train.

    • @Tornado922
      @Tornado922  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      having those HST's flying past me screaming was a joy to listen to, it's a sound I will never get tired of!! Sadly one day their time of the MML will be up but until that time I am going to enjoy them in all the glory and splendour

  • @syedhoque8009
    @syedhoque8009 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve heard last month the Thameslink Canal Tunnels are in service meaning Thameslink’s 700 series 8 and 12 coach trains travel between Peterborough, Cambridge, Brighton, Horsham and Eastbourne via the East Coast Main Line and the Brighton Main Line. Before February 26 2018 the day when the Thameslink Canal Tunnels opened for direct crossings from the East Coast Main Line to the Brighton Main Line there was only the Thameslink Bedford-Brighton service now there’s also the 700 series Peterborough-Brighton/Horsham and Cambridge-Brighton services. Since the new VTEC 800s can run on both overhead wires and 3rd rail lines without the overhead wires it’s possible VTEC could expand their reach into East Sussex from their current Yorkshire, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Stirling and Inverness services. Perhaps VTEC could one day run the 800s on services between Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Brighton by using the new Thameslink Canal Tunnels going between the East Coast Mainline and the Brighton Mainline.

    • @Tornado922
      @Tornado922  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't heard of that yet but I'll be sure to look into it. If that is the case then I very much look forward to seeing a greater variety of services operating out of Cambridge and Peterborough. The rail network is certainly getting busier now with more trains entering the market and new railway lines being constructed. In terms of VTEC operating those types of services I cant see it happening really, VTEC wont be around for very much longer thanks to Stagecoach screwing up the contract by over pricing their bid that the start of everything.
