  • A very enjoyable afternoon session at Burnham station on the Great Western Mainline where we see plenty of services from Great Western Railway. There isn't really a great deal to tell about this station.
    Burnham station was opened in 1899 by the Great Western Mainline and was first named Burnham Beeches. The station itself resides in the county of Buckinghamshire. The station was then later renamed Burnham (Bucks) in 1930 right up until 1975 when it was just named Burnham.
    The only real significant thing to happen to this station was during WW1 when the station was forced to close as an economy measure. The cause of this being if they shut the station down then it meant that there was no money being wasted on a station that doesn't generate that much money. However it was reopened in 1919.
    It was in 2017 when the station was officially handed over to TFL Rail for preparation of the Elizabeth Line next year.
    My next station is Slough.

    Those HSTs do fly past there, I can see comparisons between here and South Kenton, love the vantage points that this station offers, thumbs up from me Jarred

      This was an excellent station to come to and one that I will happily come back to again in the height of rush hour :) I thought the same thing about this being very similar to South Kenton

    The layout reminds me of South Kenton on the WCML. Great video, keep it up:)

    Very nice one! Another year and we'll see 387s on the mainline working fast services more regularly.

    Scaled back for the greater good. This little Station is a hero by all standards and thoughtfully modern.., well the Platform drainage is well made. Awesome place just for the habit alone, crazy. Beautiful day, beautifully made. Thanks! B.P.

      This was a great station to come to, very similar to a station found on the West Coast Mainline in terms of layout and the views that you get

    I loved that pair of 800s that did a series of tones. I just love the new IETs. There a great replacement for the HST, although I still love HSTs, they are both my #1 favourite Trains.

    • @Tornado922
      @Tornado922  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That was an excellent tone from that driver, the 800's are a great replacement it's just a shame that the comfort isn't all that good

  • @MS46532

    Very great station! You can see the class 43, 165, 166 and the 800 on the fast line!

    387 163 with the unique "Captain Pugwash" tone was the highlight 😁😂
