Trains at Basingstoke, SWML - 6th October 2021

Hello and welcome to my latest video.
On 6th October I've returned back to Basingstoke situated on South Western Mainline. I've had a brilliant time filming at this station, both views are great even the curve line that leads to Reading, and you can see Freight trains approaching.
Facilities at the are station are good, waiting room on Platform 3 & 2, there are 3 cafe's, and shops at lower level opposite the booking office.
There are loads of different mixtures of tractions, electrics, locomotives, and loads of freights. Train services are over seen by South Western Railway, Cross Country Trains, GWR. There are 2 fast through train services per hour.
Overall fantastic station certinley does keep me on my toes, and never get board.

Until the next video ttfn. :)

Great video mate. Some freight trains are running over 40 late

[@joes-trainproductions5987]

Probably it’s because Oxford line was blocked due to sheep or cows on the line whatever it is. Which was why Cross Country Manchester - Bournemouth was 30 minutes late!

Why a Southampton bound freight train go through platforms 3 or 4 instead of 1 or 2? 55:09 48:34 52:01 31:50
