Trains at: Cheshunt - 28 February, 2022

Continuing my exploration of the lines built by the Northern & Eastern Railway in their attempt to reach York, I make it as far as Cheshunt.
The busy West Anglia Main Line, plus the London Overground Southbury Loop branch from Edmonton, makes this a great spot for action. The station is in the middle of a five mile long straight so you get plenty of warning of what is coming but being bowled is always a risk.
Featuring classes 317, 720 and 745/1 on the main line plus class 710 on the Southbury Loop.

Another high quality video Mr Boogie. Nice to see a few more people using the trains again. Well done 🤓 stay safe 💙

[@martinezjuanbarrientos7589]

Another great video! Great effect with the zooming in on trains from far distances. Just absolutely speechless!

[@BoogiesTrains]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Amazing railway video as always Boogies Trains.

[@maimadha]

Great video

[@oforid2227]

are 8 car 710s able to fit in at Chesunt at all

[@Andrewjg_89]

Yes absolutely. As the bay platform can cater for 8-Car (2x 4-Car) Class 710/1 trains.

[@Les_MeilleursMCFC]

Why was the first train’s headlights on? Shouldn’t it be red?

[@BoogiesTrains]

Strange indeed. Probably just the camera picking up the light wrong.

[@Les_MeilleursMCFC]

@@BoogiesTrains probably was

[@Andrewjg_89]

The Class 317 will be phased out when more Class 720s are in service. And the Class 379 Electrostars to be transferred to Great Northern or stored. Or maybe cascade the Class 379s to Great Western Railway.

[@ysaviationtrains2313]

GWR don't need them.

[@Andrewjg_89]

@@ysaviationtrains2313 Ok. But they are getting Class 387/3s from c2c as c2c are replacing the Class 387/3s once the Class 720/6s have been built and in service later this year.

[@ysaviationtrains2313]

@@Andrewjg_89 Hopefully. Some are saying however that GTR will take them as part of the plan to phase out the 313s and the 455s.

[@DKS225]

Like some of the Class 387's that were running Gatwick Airport services but were transferred to Great Northern.

[@Andrewjg_89]

I guarantee that Great Northern would like to inherit more rolling stocks as they are no longer using the Class 365 Networkers and are to be scrapped and some have been preserved including one Class 365 that has been transferred to East Kent Railway.
