- A very good afternoon spent at Ely on the Fen Line where we see plenty of services from Great Northern, East Midlands Railway, Cross Country, Greater Anglia and plenty of freight from GBRF.
The station was built and opened in 1845 by the Eastern Counties Railway at a cost of £81,500 back then. I dread to think how much it would be if that were built today, especially because of the geography of the terrain that the line is built on. The station was always busy because from its outset its always been used as a junction station linking Cambridge, Peterborough and the surrounding areas to London.
There isn't to much to tell about this station other than during the 1990's British Rail modified the station quite substantially in order for electrification to take place, although not every line coming out of Ely is electrified today.
My next station will be Grantham on the East Coast Mainline.

It appears at the start of this I said Eastleigh instead of Ely!!! At the time I didn't realise I said that so please do forgive me haha!!!
I thought u was going to do London kings cross next
I had to wind back to the intro, and play it again, because I thought I heard Eastleigh! :-)
@@michaellittlejohns7968 that's for his rush hour trains at.
I think I could be going stupid but I thought you said 'Kings Ling' one of the times lol
No worries
Great video nice to see a bit of GBRF freight! Loved your Eastleigh blooper at the start haha 😂
GBRF seemed to have wanted all the attention it would seem, I didn't even realise at the time I had said anything lol
You Said Eastleigh!! Nice Video Though
I didn't realise at the time that I had said that, but thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this

Hello from Canada. When I lived in Bath for 3 years back in the early 2000s, I truly loved going to Bath Spa and just watching trains pass. We do not do rail in Canada like you all do in the UK. Your videos bring me back to those times, and I thank you for that. Subscribed!
Thank you ever so much for subscribing to my channel it really is greatly appreciated, I'm really glad to hear that you enjoy watching my content and that it brings you so many happy memories. I would very much like to go to Canada one day to see the rail network you have there
Great video amazing as always

I like Ely. I’ve been there twice and the Class 170, Class 158, Class 700, Class 755 and Class 387 are very nice trains.
Great video, I enjoyed the variety.

Cool video. Glad you like the new FLIRT units in East Anglia. They are really good and they run on my local branch line too. :)
Thanks very much, I love the FLIRTS, I think they are amazing units
@@Tornado922 you're welcome. Glad you like the FLIRT's and they certainly are amazing. They also run on my local branch line between Ipswich and Felixstowe. :)
Another good video buddy from Alan Shelley
Thank you kindly!
Great video mate. Only see GBRF not Freightliner or DB Cargo but is still a good station to come back 👍. Damn you said Eastleigh at the start of the video
Thanks very much, everyone so far has remarked on me making that mistake haha
@@Tornado922 Lol indeed 😂
I couldn't imagine there being another Eastleigh in the UK 🤣🤣🤣 great video though!!!
If only there was haha
Could you please go to Doncaster one day? Thank you and very enjoyable photo.
I will be getting a Doncaster film done at some stage but I don't know when that will be
👍👍👍
Thanks very much :)
Or is it the east Midlands trains that go from Ely to Norwich?
Funny how you said “Eastleigh” at the beginning XD
I didn't realise at the time I said that haha
Amazing when you think of it,the 2nd 66 pulling 1,800ft of containers(30) mad...and other had over 50 In Cardiff we see some ex EMR carriages still in the colours..not recovered in TFW vinyls yet
The freight traffic in the UK is steadily getting busier and busier which is great to see.
Also can you please so London cannon street, London charring cross, and London Waterloo East?
Charing Cross and Waterloo East I can do for you, I'm not to sure about Cannon Street
Am I right does greater Anglia trains go from Ely to Norwich?
Hi the trains from Ely to Norwich do they run every hour from Ely to Norwich?
I thought u was going to do London kings cross station
That was a rush hour film, they are completely separate from my normal trains at films
Just wondering
What do you use to find out where trains have come from and where they are going to
As I’m planing to go train spotting today and would love to find out ❤️
Think its... Live Trains app
I use RealTimeTrains for all of my information
I was there 1 day before you filmed missed you dude. Bugger never mind have you thought about filming at Melton mowbray? Or does there not appeal against to you? Keep it up mate
It's just sods law isn't it! I have given Melton Mowbray some thought I must admit
Can you drive a LNER Azuma from London to Newark please? (In train simulator)
I don't have that content available to me
How do you get from one platform to the other side at Ely?
I think there's a subway that links the platforms because I can't see any footbridge
@@kingkarrotbackupaccount506 Thanks for your information
hello mate you doing a video from Stoke on trent Staffordshire please let me know kinds regards william c adlam cheers?
I have done a film from there but I will be going back at some stage
@@Tornado922 thanks again mate please do mate do another video from stoke on trent railway station cheers?
Instead of Ely you said Eastl... ooops that's been remarked already, in about every comment. Is the 755 for Greater Anglia the one that has the easiest step onto the train? No need to mind the gap?
I think everyone so far has commented on the fact that I said Eastleigh and not Ely haha, They are such user friendly trains!
Why is the 170 only two coaches.
They are in the process of getting them upgraded to three cars
You sound a bit tongue-tied at the start of the video. Oh, dear. Haha
Well it's bets to get it out of the way early haha
Tornado Eastleigh is not on the fen line is swr
I know
u said eastleigh instead of ely
I didn't realise at the start that I had said that lol
Eastleigh 🤣
Didn't realise at the time I had said that haha
Go to Potters Bar
Saying please might help.
how can u afford 2 go 2 all of thease places uk train ticket prices are not cheapest in the world
Maybe sometimes he goes in the 🚗
Railcards...
@@aviationtrainsfc1 o i did not
think about that
@@georgedowns4034 yeah also railcards
@@charlienaproductions5633 Fortunately I had a good job that enables me to get around the country every month on top of the monthly earnings I get through my advertising on TH-cam which all helps towards travel costs either by train or by car
Great video
Thanks very much
