Yes agre great vid. I am writting from 7000 + fasl high up in the Andes in S. America. I have not travelled in the UK for decades. So much has changed since the days of steam when I was a kid train spotter. Keep up the good work I love it and TG for the internet.
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. I had a great time getting it all put together that's for sure, the railways in the UK have certainly changed over the years and many would say that it hasn't changed for the better as we have lost a lot of former engine sheds and large sidings which makes an already very busy network even more crowded as storage space for trains in this country is getting very tight
Don't forget that there is a new service that will be operational in the autumn which will be known as East Coast Trains which will run 5 trains a day from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverly.
Went through Kings Cross on an Azuma earlier on today for the first time, fantastic station, not so fantastic trains but at least they're fast haha, another great rush hour vid, love these ones with busy schedules
I used to drive the 43's out of Kings X up the ECML... With 4500 hp under the bonnet ( 2250 hp ) one up front and one up the botty there was plenty of power on tap... Pulling out of the station on notch five with the Paxman Valenta turbo's screaming their little heads off and clouds of exhaust smoke ( sorry Greta Thunberg ) was something to behold with more excitement to enjoy... 125 mph here we come although they would top 148 mph... Now there is food for thought but as I did not fancy tea and biscuits with the Boss well need I say more...
No apologies for adapting the lyrics to one of the best songs ever. "Tornado922 gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons, they love a bit of it" (Parklife!) especially as every pigeon in your videos looks.........wait for it *Blur - ed* 🙄🤣 Great video, Kings Cross is looking rather impressive after all the work. 👍
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. I don't think any of my films would be complete without a pigeon making an appearance atleast once haha
The construction next to KGX is for Google apparently (as I heard - from Nodrog and Blackpool Simon, with the latter being a LNER guard, since GNER days actually)
I have a theory about that late running ECS with its coupling housing open. I THINK its because it was intended to be coupling with another 5 car unit, but was changed last minute for some reason. You can hear on the announcement for it that its says "...Leeds, where the train will divide...". Now I'm not a complete expert, but I do know you cant divide a 5 car Azuma unit 😂
Thanks very much, that would be because the resolution wasn't at 1080p, for some reason TH-cam is taking much longer to process the HD versions of my films at the moment
Certainly one of the best liveries on any train in the UK that's for sure. I was always under the impression that the 225 sets were only working the London to Leeds services so I was very surprised to see a set coming in off a York service.
We watchers can tell it is a bit breezy your microphone is making vigorous thundering noises! The new building looks like a multi-storey car-park, so it is probably going to be a luxury hotel! - - - I do hope that ALL these trains coming in to Kings X are terminating - otherwise there is going to be an awful mess to clear off the concourse! :-)
Yes 3 tunnels all open now higher speed limits for trains leaving the station all looking good. Don't seem right not seeing any 365's tho class 387 are ok but the 700s no no not for me there so cheaply made it must be said how anyone could manage on a 700 from Cambridge to Brighton I don't know because I couldn't
It's good to see the extra tunnel open now to allow more services to get into and out of the station. I don't think I would be able to ride a 700 for that long
Really enjoyed this!

Great vid as always. I’m going to kings cross for the first time in a few weeks. Can’t wait!
Thanks very much, I hope you have a great time when you go there
I always enjoy your videos, but this one was particularly good. Love the 91s!
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
Don't forget that there is a new service that will be operational in the autumn which will be known as East Coast Trains which will run 5 trains a day from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverly.
It will be great to see another operator on the ECML, especially one that offers such low prices
@@Tornado922 Fares starting from £19.90 for a London to Edinburgh single with apparently 60% of seats to be sold at less than £30
Another quality video thanks.
Thanks very much :)
You were standing in the spot where I stood to do a dim at King’s Cross made back in December 2019. Quite cool that, and nice video
It's a great spot to stand at as you get a great view of all the traffic coming and going
Cool video. Glad you got to see some of the Class 91's still in service. :)
Always great to see the 91's still earning their keep even if they don't get the full run into Scotland anymore
@@Tornado922 very true. It's great that the Class 91's are helping out on the Leeds services. :)
Another great video :)
Thanks very much :)
Amazing thumbnail and nice vid 👍
Great video mate. London Kings Cross is a good station on the ECML and been to Kings Cross and I film it at Nighttime.
Thanks very much, this is an amazing station to come to that's for sure!
Nice EMU trains there at Kings Cross station , greetings from Assen in the Netherlands and i like your railway video,s !!
Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
Other amazing video legend tornado I really enjoy watch your videos
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this
Love te video especially as you leave the cockups in keep it going mate great stuff
Thanks very much, the cockups are all apart of a my channel and content haha
Love the video Kings Cross is a nice station
It is a very good station to go to
Great rush hour film at London Kings Cross plenty of 800's and only 2 LNER 225 sets and 1 former Gatwick Express 387
Thanks very much, Kings Cross is always a great station to come to for an evening period
Great video, commentary on point as per usual 👌🏻
Thanks very much, that's very kind of you to say
Phwoarrrrrr. Love that simultaneous departure 🥰🤩
Nothing better than that!
Great railway video as always Tornado922
Thanks very much :)
Nice video
Another good video buddy from Alan Shelley
Thanks very much Alan :)
Great video, thumbnail shot is amazing!
Thanks very much, I really had to have that as the thumbnail that's for sure!
The line opposite used to go to moorgate on the widened lines. The return journey used to come out at platform 16 where the new building is behind you
It would stop at York Road Station.
Great video,
Thanks very much
Anne loved interrupting you at the start 😂👍🏻
I'm sure she was doing it deliberately haha
Finally i get to see lots of class 91's in one place like we used to.
I know.
Kings Cross isn't right without them that's for sure
I'm at the station waiting for my train to Kings X! I can't wait to get spotting!!
I hope you had a great time!
@@Tornado922 It was amazing thanks! A class 91 gave a nice loud tone while departing!
Went through Kings Cross on an Azuma earlier on today for the first time, fantastic station, not so fantastic trains but at least they're fast haha, another great rush hour vid, love these ones with busy schedules
The 800's wouldn't be sop bad if the seating wasn't so hard, I can't understand why these companies can't put softer seating into their trains

When he said shut up at the start 😂
I like the class 225 set because they have a brilliant sound
They do sound amazing even when just sat idling

I don't know why but great northern 387s would look good in light blue doors
Yeah that would work
Can you do at london paddington please? If not don't worry. Thanks!
Have done :)
very cool video tornado922
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
The construction next to KGX is for Google apparently (as I heard - from Nodrog and Blackpool Simon, with the latter being a LNER guard, since GNER days actually)
Ah right ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me
I think I found out there will be direct Kings Cross to Middlesbrough by 13th December 2021 by LNER.
I heard something similar
corect me if im wrong but the line from leeds to london is the east cost main line
👍👍👍
Has anyone seen any of the new 800 Lumo trains that work services from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverly.
2:42 @Tornado, they're building Google's new London HQ, costs about a billion dollars. There are some videos about it online.
Thanks very much for the information :)
I have a theory about that late running ECS with its coupling housing open. I THINK its because it was intended to be coupling with another 5 car unit, but was changed last minute for some reason. You can hear on the announcement for it that its says "...Leeds, where the train will divide...". Now I'm not a complete expert, but I do know you cant divide a 5 car Azuma unit 😂
Hay just want to ask if you could do a trains at/rush hour at Plymouth as there aren't many pigeons it's more seagulls.
I wouldn't be able to do a rush hour film from Plymouth but I could certainly do a standard film from there for you
@@Tornado922 ok that would be a great idea
Cool 91111 came in Its my Favroiute 91 next to 91110 of course
Both are excellent that's for sure
Nice vedio so far. I am enjoying it. The screen though looks a bit unclear on my phone.
Thanks very much, that would be because the resolution wasn't at 1080p, for some reason TH-cam is taking much longer to process the HD versions of my films at the moment
Agree with you (and several others here) about 91111. What a beauty! 225 sets are occasionally working York/King's?
Certainly one of the best liveries on any train in the UK that's for sure. I was always under the impression that the 225 sets were only working the London to Leeds services so I was very surprised to see a set coming in off a York service.
Hello Tornado922. I Went To Reading Today
I hope you had a great time
@@Tornado922 Yes
Class 91 locomotive is still in operation only in LNER ?
Can The 801s Put Up Their Pantographs So They Run On Full Electric Power?
Was the Harrogate service delayed or did the Edinburgh service at 7:25 leave at 1730 and not 1830?
I honestly can't remember
The terminating Hull trains service did came in from Hull but if it came in from Ramsbottom? Then I would be very confused.
I offer confusion all the time haha
What is causing the class 91 noise you like
I believe the building being built is that of Google, their new big UK HQ thingy
Yes, I thought that too
Google it !
Seems to be the common suggestion so far
On Transport Fever 2 There's a mod that has all of London King's Cross assets so you can build London King's Cross on the game just like I did
I have got that mod installed but I haven't given it a proper going over as of yet
London Kings Cross looks so much better since the 3rd tunnel reopened to traffic to relieve the congestion and bottleneck on the East Coast Main Line.
Isn't there a lner service to Sunderland at 8pm but it wasn't in the video
I didn't stay till 8pm, I left just after 7pm

I would like to hope that they are terminating haha
Have you seen any sleeper trains
When will you come to Somerset ?
I'm not to sure
6:31 that was my train on the 4th August this year
Right ok
On Wednesday is going to be the 2nd anniversary of East Midlands Railway joining the railway
right ok
@@Tornado922 were you aware of it joining the railway in 2019?
There is a one train a day from kings cross to Inverness
I know :)
when are you doing hull angan
I'm not to sure, maybe next month
0:10 Lol
The building to your left that you were wondering what is is? That is going to be Google HQ
Thanks for letting me know :)
According to google maps it’s google uk corporate office’s at king cross
Seems to be the common consensus throughout everyone so far
17:56

Who misses the class 43 on lner I know I do
ME
It is strange seeing the ECML without them that's for sure
@@Tornado922 I agree I miss them
Heh going to york on a azuma in 3 days.
I hope you had a great time
