- An absolutely fantastic evening spent at Welwyn Garden City on the East Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from VTEC, Grand Central, First Hull Trains and Govia Great Northern.
Welwyn Garden City is an absolutely brilliant station to film at as your never short of finding something to film. This is definitely a station that I will be coming back to and probably again in the rush hour period as I managed to catch a beat variety with the different units that Govia Great Northern use: 313, 317, 321 and 365 units are all seen throughout the course of this film as well as 225 and HST sets from Virgin Trains East Coast.
I would really recommend this station to anyone who wants to pass the time and get some great shots. Some of the units that you'll see during this film are very scruffy from where Govia Great Northern have erased the First Capital Connect names from the sides of the trains, the 313 units displaying this more than anything.
At some point during this video I say that one of the 313 units on an ECS movement was for Abellio Greater Anglia, I have got no idea why I said that but the you go, I think it may have been because a couple of people behind me were talking about them.
I hope you all enjoy watching this as much as I did filming it. My next 4 films will finish off my series from the East Coast Mainline. These will be: Hatfield, Brookmans Park, Potters Bar and finally Hadley Wood.
The East Coast Mainline has been excellent so far and I'm really looking forward to seeing what these final 4 stations have to offer.
looks like a fantastic location very much enjoyed this video. Have Liked
Welwyn Garden City is great considering the next door shopping centre. :) Great Video! :)
I also used to live very nearby between 2007 and 2009, as you look up the tracks to the left, there was a footbridge about a 1 minute walk away from our house.
Great Video's again thanks a lot :)
Your very welcome
Cracking vid. Thanks for sharing :)
+156MadSean Your very welcome :)

+Babak Khanbashi Thanks very much
What great location, very busy, steep grade for moorgate bound trains U can really notice how steep it is from your location.
cheers
It was a great station to film at, certainly coming back here :)
Good morning, Tornado 922!! I consistently find myself fascinated, entertained and learning as I savor your videos. Though I'm a dual with US and Irish citizenship and lots of travels, I am more familiar with European rail systems than the average American who believes that the world revolves around single occupancy automobiles. With your videos it's so much fun to see the astounding variety of equipment, frequency of schedules, speed and increasing emphasis on rail technology abroad. Your excellent narratives make great viewing. Thank you for your attention to detail and overall professionalism. One question: Is there a front and rear driver on these main line trains -- tones and waves seem to imply that to be the case. Thank you very much for your commitment to exceptionally high quality videos. Cheers from Kansas City, Chip!!!!!
Thank you ever so much,I'm really grateful to hear that my films and narration are not only enjoyable but educational as well. In response to your question the Mainline trains only have the 1 driver at the front, sometimes they have 2. The suburban trains that are operated by Govia Great Northern have a guard in the rear of the train when they aren't checking tickets.
A nice station in Welwyn Garden City. Always used to watch trains when I visited the Howard Centre.
Hatfield is a grubbier station in my opinion, but still good to watch trains there.
I've seen a few vids from Hatfield, it looks OK. Just gotta find a good vantage point to film from
I used to get a 1d (old penny) platform ticket to see the steam engines stop here. Sometimes they let us stand on the foot plate and look at the controls. (Circa 1950's)
I cheated and just brought a ticket to the closest station, I don't think they do station passes for this station anymore
What could be better than this guy at welyn garden city?
*Welwyn
I figured out that I spelt it wrong
+Jakeba Hulse My mm.
Tornado on my holme video I saw a class 37 deltic plz can u wath. U doint have to!!
Can you do Letchworth Garden City?
Yeah I can go there. Won't be going for a while though as I have many stations I would like to get through first
My favourite train in 365Gggg
they are good trains
What does the max appeal on great northern mean? How many max appeal great northerns are there?
It's a charity that Great Northern support so they had the livery put onto one of their 365 units
I have subscribed and liked and turned on post notafacashoin and what is you favourite train in a emu and dmu
Thanks ever so much for saying so, I favourite EMU has to be the 321 and DMU would have to be the 158
How fast are Great Northern's allowed to travel at going to London from Huntingdon? Please reply :)
As far as I'm aware the line speed is 100MPH
Thanks. My little brother doesn't like traveling too fast. I think this will be okay :) Thanks
Nearly at 800 subs!
I know :D
Could you go to Retford Low Level or Kings Cross please
I have been to King's Cross previously if you would like to check my channel, back when it was East Coast and First Capital Connect
+Tornado922 I'll go watch that now. Ik you've done Retford ML but what about the Low Level. If you do decide to go let me know and I will meet you as I live in Retford.
+FIFA Gamer I may go to the lower level of the station but I'm not overly sure as of yet
What is this station like at rush hour? I'd be curious to see how busy it is! Great video anyway.
It's absolutely crazy, it wasn't overly busy when I came here passenger wise but there were plenty of trains coming and going. A lot of the passengers that you saw in this video in particular were football fans
+Tornado922 Congrats for 800 subscribers!
+Trains Fan / shelby3024 Thank you very much!!!
Hey Tornado. I'm currently in Lanzarote however I still enjoy your videos. If you would like, the Ryanair flights are either Boeing (Bow-ing) 737-800 or Boeing 787-8 Maxes. :) Hope that helped you out. Also, please could you do a QnA!? Here are some questions.
1)Why did you start TH-cam?
2)What is your favourite station?
3)Why is your name 'Tornado922'?
4)What do you record with??
Hello just to let you know Ryanair don't own any 787-8s
Yes it did thanks very much. I will get round to answering your questions soon :)
Thanks!!
I'll put out a video in a few weeks asking people to give me questions and then I'll answer them a couple of weeks later
The Train Table Typo!! sorry I meant 737-8 :D
Cud u go to St Albans City
I'll have to look at a few films from there first
+Tornado922 OK! Its really good!
Eventful Evening I've watched a couple of films and it does look like a great station
+Tornado922 I have been there there is lots of passenger and a few freight trains!
Probably the best station for trainspotting on the whole Great Northern network
Definitely a favourite of mine
+Tornado922 So glad I live there ahha! I enjoy Stevenage though - simply because passing VTEC trains stop there. That is the only issue with Welwyn is that you don't get anything stopping other than GNR! Thanks for video :)
TheSubArcticTrain I found Welwyn Garden City to be very enjoyable, although Stevenage is certainly a great station as well :)
