An evening trip to Linslade Curve on a clear, but cold Autumn night on October 22nd 2019. I've filmed from Linslade many times now, it offers a great vantage point for photography particularly as its on a tight bend which makes for some great shots of the Pendolino's & Voyagers at full tilt. Linslade is just north of Leighton Buzzard station on the WCML.
With Virgin's days now numbered you'll notice a few of the pendolino's wearing a blank all white livery. Its not dressed up as a ghost for halloween unfortunately, its had its branding stripped ready for the franchise change in the coming month.
INCLUDES: Freightliner & GBRF Class 66's, Royal Mail 325's, Virgin Pendolino's & Voyagers, London North Western 350's and Southern Class 377's.
All filmed during the evening peak in the run up to sunset on October 22nd 2019 between 16:30 & 18:30.
Thanks for watching!

16:04 never seen a train like that
A12 thats not a train, thats an a airbus.
BANDVIT Romania ios it’s meant to be a joke
r/whoosh
Fat Muffins and my comment is meant to be a joke too
R/wooosh
Marcus Setters oh ok
@@bandvitromaniaios1307 uhm Wrong, it's a Boeing 787
Nice post office train at the beginning.
Pls elaborate
I love having too much to drink and going home to watch this I love it thank you❤️
LNW Trains in that green always reminds me of a caterpillar lol dusk good time for filming lights on tracks etc gives atmosphere
I'd love to see an X-Ray of the track inside the tunnel as it seems to curve out even more!
Why would you love to see an X-ray of the track inside the tunnel?
Amazing 👍👏👏
They are also giving new version of the 350 desiro into a battery hybrid desiro unit too
RIP virgin's contract
Good video. I prefer cab views, but this one certainly had an interesting gallery of trains!
very good video!
Nice ! Thank you for sharing !!! :):):)
2:54 my favioute part
Very NiceVideo
Amazing to see British trains actually working at full speed for once. Class video bro!
I’m very looking forward to see the Class 390 First Trenitalia livery.
APC tilt made passengers sick,one factor to why it failed...IIRC all voyagers have tilt ability but its disabled...only Pendo has tilt,but limited as most curves now in UK are canted like the Cambered curves on motorways and fast roads. the 66 wasnt hanging around....didnt used to like pendos much...but they DO look impressive at speed on a curve coming at yer....eh
0:48 train drifting damnn
Nice
4:27 why is that non branded
Virgin have lost the franchise. From next month there will no longer be Virgin Trains. So some of them have lost their livery already ahead of the franchise change.
Oh I know they lost the franchise to first group
It's incredible how many degrees that train tilts.
Almost all Pendolinos are tilting
Where is linslade curve? I don’t know why I really like the look of it
Linslade Curve is north of Leighton Buzzard.
The 323s I’ve noticed are about to be replaced by the new Aventras 333 units for next year because the 323s are simply getting too old to keep going
Pacer says hi
It’s not a pacer I’m talking about it’s the 323 unit mate
👍👍
Any news about the virgin/brightline trains expansion project?
How do I get here specifically, it looks like a good place to trainspot
So what is the line speed on the curves? Strange that Brit. technology could not get tilting to work. Great vantage point. Any chance of getting timings as does Richard Chalkin, I guess?
The APT trains do tilt.
@@gteaz As far as I know the only APT ( Brit technology) unit is the property of the National Railway museum and the UK tilting train was abandoned. Tom Carr
France fixed it, tilting trains do exist as showen in the video.
Tom Carr the APT had a disastrous launch after being late and over budget that British rail sold the technology to an Italian company that is now owned by a french company called Alsthom
How do you get access to that place?
Thanks for sharing that great day's action. Can I ask if that location is on a public footpath? 👍🏼
Not really a footpath. Its across a field.
Please put me out of misery - went on Google maps to see where you were and nothing matches up! It looked like you were just north of 3 portal tunnel with no road bridge in site over tracks and then a vicious left hand bend northwards but nothing matches using maps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than a bullet, please help??????????????
Totally brilliant otherwise, best rail shots of the millennium in my humble opinion, thank you very very much.
Looking on Google maps the nearby road goes under the railway and they're filming at the curve north of the tunnels north of linslade
I’ve captured this white pendolino at Birmingham new street and I was concerned why was that pendolino not where virgin trains livery like the others
There's more than one now. There's several all white pendolino's getting ready for when Virgin go next month.
Train_PlaneHub it’s confirmed that trenitalia that is confirmed to be virgin trains replacement mate
Yes I know that... You asked me why it was unbranded. If you knew that, why did you ask. It’s been confirmed for nearly 6 months
Well I was shocked about the pendolino suddenly appeared in just plain white
Where abouts is it how do you get to it?
Does anyone know where to park your car to access this spot? as I've been confused for a long time.
I was confused too, so I parked mine on the clear track.
@@gteaz🤘
it's amazing to see that the train looks like Malaysia's ETS train
You can see this curve in a video of the APT-P.
I'd love to see it. I saw that 'Round trip to glasgow' video on youtube and it shows a clip of it going around curves in scotland. I'd love to see the Linslade curve
It’s very likely that the voyagers are keeping their virgin trains name on theirs
@@FlyfarHP It is
@Scott they'll patch it with grey paint so the name doesn't show or they'll patch it with the logo until they go out of service.
Yes Harry it’s confirmed that trenitalia have won the franchise to take over virgin trains place
Have you got a grid reference please thanks
I've always wondered why Southern operate on the WCML, if anyone knows why, let me know.
Joseph Moran they run services up to Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes to East Croydon via the West London line
Thanks!
Can someone answer me a question please ? What is the fastest (overall average speed ) of any service in the uk ? I live near Stafford & there is a regular service that goes Stafford to Euston in 1hr18m. That must be an average of at least 95mph ... are there any faster ones out there ?
Class 395 on HS1 in Kent @ 140 mph ?
airwood99 but what is the average speed ? Ie timings & miles covered.
LNER & Grand Central between Kings Cross & York non stop 188 miles in an hour & 50 mins is average speed 102.8mph. Virgin also do Non stop Euston to Crewe & Warrington which I’m sure will be quicker as well as LNER’s southbound morning service which is non stop from Newcastle to Kings Cross. There’s lots that are faster than Stafford to Euston.
@@thebenmark6599 The average speed of a car on a motorway is 65.
The benmark , Ebbsfleet to Ashford av 101 mph, 32 miles in 19 mins, these are “timetable timings “ would be interesting to time it for real
Do we know what the First Trenitalia livery will be?
Could someone tell me why the Virgin electric trains only use one connection to the overhead electric lines.
Trolleys push the cable up and gravity is pulling the cable down, move that at along the cable at 80mph, the line shakes. Adding a second trolley to a shaking line increases wear and tear.

Simply because it is not required. The carbon strips on the pantograph of the class 390 are sufficiently sized to take the full load required by the train. The two pantographs on the 390 share the same HV busbar, so is able to provide power to all motors. To have both pantographs up would cause electrical damage on the train due to the small voltage difference at each pantograph that could result in current flowing in the opposite direction to that intended. To avoid this, they are interlocked so that it is physically impossible to have two up at the same time.
The many EMUs in this video with multiple pantographs up are able to because each unit is isolated from the joined unit. The pantograph is only able to provide power to the motors on that individual unit, so needs a pantograph up on each train to give the train full power.
The Eurostar that is mentioned also needs two pantographs up because the HV busbar is split in two on the train. The Eurostar is effectively two half trains joined together so that in theory, if there is an emergency in the Channel Tunnel, the train can be split in half and able to still power itself out of the tunnel.
It is also true that multiple pantographs up causes contact issues with the following pantographs after the leading pantograph causes the wire to oscillate. To help this issue, trains may be limited to lower speeds, or the following pantograph may have a greater pressure in the air cylinder to have a greater lift force pushing the pantograph into the contact wire. The pantograph arms also have set aerofoils on them to increase the lift force. A train must be tested and certified for multiple pantograph running performance before it is allowed on passenger services.
They are speeding in curve. One of the reason why train derails.
Absolutely not. These trains tilt.
Designed to tilt around corners, cutting journey times.
Bro Pendolinos and Voyagers are tilting
