I absolutely LOVE the main entrance with all the shrubbery and lovely wooden architecture. Fianlly a new station done well!
I agree
Agreed! So stunning! Feel very proud of it being (kinda) in my corner of London :)
That would have caused a dilemma if the northbound train had been a few seconds earlier
Pointless journey from Check Station Screens to Check Station Screens 🤣
Much nicer than the Generic New GWR stations we've seen a lot of recently.
Possibly because it was built by Brent Council rather than Thameslink.
Pretty sure no train operator builds the station
Yeah, it is quite nice. It's Barnet Council btw, it's very close the border along Edgware Road
@@SL_Transport2 indeed
Brent the penguin!
Is Brent cross when his train is delayed?
Indeed! Brent gets very cross! 😂
5:55 I think he's stuffed 😂😂😂😂
Great video Nick! I was the guy you met at by the Bus Stop for the 316. It was great to talk to you about the Station and GTR PR Stuff 🤣
The first train was late because of a Power Fault and late Engineering Work Handover.
Haha yes that was great, nice to see you too!
You should’ve stayed onto check station screens. I have been to check station screens and I would definitely recommend it!
Grew up in Cricklewood. New station looks great and is really important to the wider Brent Cross regeneration. But the initial plan was for Cricklewood station to be shut down to facilitate Brent Cross West, which would've been a disaster for the town as we already don't have a Tube station. Fortunately it didn't end up happening.
Great looking station, and a Jen cameo. Great fun video all, and kudos to the penguin 🐧
Good for London! We all know they were critically lacking in railway stations, so it's great to hear they're finally being given what they were always denied!
Really enjoyed the video Nick! Station has character and lots of Drama for the 1st Train!
I usually use that line to Elstree and Borehamwood to meet the EastEnders cast. I shall visit that Station at some point and I think most services will go to Sutton and St Albans
Interview with Geoff M shows peaks to Rainham (Kent) and to Orpington.
I’ve been here and it is AWESOME every Tameslink station needs to be like this
London again gets the nice stuff - plenty of cash to spend down there. Meanwhile in Huddersfield, one in six trains are cancelled and the others are half the size!
Huddersfield, which famously decided, like London did, to fund its own rail infrastructure from its congestion charge.
The Station Itself Is Fantastic 👍
Watched it on Jen’s channel. I wonder if Geoff Marshall is also going to do a video of the new Brent Cross West station. I have to say that Brent Cross West station does look really nice, spacious and very brand new.
Geoff was there, but I saw him pointing his camera to the foor sooooo yeah (ok i was pointing my camera to the floor too)
@@Farleigh1050where was Geoff? My 8 year was really hoping to bump into him but he was nowhere to be seen
@@liveandletlive497 he was at the ticket hall st around twelve o'clock
@@liveandletlive497 later in the morning
I have seen his video when he uploaded it on CZcams. 👍
Well done for the rapid edit and upload Nick, incredible!!
I would absolutely LOVE to know how you got this edited so fast?! So impressive! Please tell me your magic!!
I’m also very proud that this stunning new station is (kinda) in my corner of London! I’ll be visiting soon!
Funnily enough I finished editing it by something like half 10? Just took me 3 hours to find good enough Internet to upload..
5:27 I just watched a video by her in the background just today. Small world!
You guys have a great time. Good to see. .....
I love going to check station screens, seems everyone else must do too because the north and southbound trains both go there, must be a circle or a big loop or something for them to go opposite directions but end in the same place
Sounds akin to the charge of the 'LIKE' Brigade!
I caught the (scheduled to be) first service that stopped there this morning at 6am!! Wish I had a chance to meet you guys.
Natt: *Clearly wins the race*
Nick: We'll call that a draw! We'll call that a draw!
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! Looks like a nice new station!
£4.99 for a penguin? That must be the cheapest item on sale in ANY branch of WHSmith, anywhere in Britain!
Oh yes, I was so surprised seeing something at WHSmith be cheap! Especially at a station! 😂
@@InkItOut Cheaper than when I bought it last year. I think you had to buy a £5 bar of chocolate to qualify
Great video Nick!! This station certainly stands out from others across the network, it is beautiful!!
Woo!! Cool new station! 😊
Wow, that's actually quite exciting for a new station!
Good to see you today! ~ Daniel
Such an incredible new station in North London. I love how the station has that airport terminal feel to it and it’s so spacious. Hopefully Thameslink will allow trains to & from Bedford to stop at the new station.
I love the new station video.
It's nice to see a new station with some character!
"So Yeah" count, only 3...but 'cool' count got up to 7. Looking forward to the Natt and Brent channel!
Another great video Nick enjoying watching your vids & what makes it better a really cute guy presenting ❤️
As of today, another new train station has opened in Scotland :P
i really enjoyed this Brent Cross looks amazing & ill be going there to see the station for myself in the new year & i cant wait to do so brilliant vlog
Hi Nick, it was nice meeting you at the new station!
You too!
Brilliant video Nick, the midland main line just had to go wrong for Brent Cross West opening didn't it? lol. This is a nice station, I'll be visiting once the weather gets warmer. I'm intrigued to know what's so good about this location called Check Station Screens lol.
Loved this spot the you tuber episode! Omari ,Jen ,TfL3 and many more , the new station looked good I liked the station shrubbery too.
alot of drama in this! Nice video, Nick!
Yeah
Ha, Geoff must still be editing.
no , he started later and spliced in the press preview day from earlier
Now im confused. My train called at brent cross west and hendon but not cricklewood. Strange
Hiya Nick, it was nice to finally meet you. I hope you had a great time :)
You too!
Warning: Do NOT go to the shopping center. From BCZ its effectively impossible and from brent cross northern line you bave ti walk down residential roads and ugly narrow walkways that make you feel like its going to fall amd deposit you in your side in the middle of the A406. Just dont, unpleaseant and no signage at all
I did the BCZ - shopping centre walk via both the Tempelhof Avenue bridge and the Staples Corner gyratory today (in the rain). Mind you I'm not a regular Brent Cross visitor and already knew from Street View how ridiculous it would be.
Technically every station in uk was once the newest, if reopened then it was twice or more times
Brent Cross, Hatton Cross, Osterley!

I am going to go there this week
as someone who was on that first northbound train I'm still slightly annoyed that it wasn't us first. Think I was on that second southbound train, just at the other end🙃🙃 great video, did you manage to pick up a celebratory pin?
so, do we prefer the southbound route or the northbound route to "check station screens"?
Natt looks so tired at the start! xD I would've been the same Brent the penguin as well so cute!
Yeah I got limited sleep last night 😂 ah well, it was worth it!
Yeah I got limited sleep last night 😂 ah well, it was worth it!
@@InkItOut 😅😄🙌
it was very nice meeting u hopefully we can meet again in the future
Nice to see you too!
Did you find the Café?
@nick badley did you find the og mersyrail train?
I have watched several videos regarding this new station. It appears the current time is not shown on the departure boards. Is there a clock somewhere on the station?
Is that "check station screens" near the bus station called "private"?
nice video
Lots of tvs at that station
OMG I have a Brent!
Could you do a video visiting the fortnite railways 😅
Daft question, but what microphone do you use?
The most frequent comment I get on my videos is people can't hear me talking. I feel like asking Santa for a microphone like you use.
YAYAYAY
Mr Hugo of Buses fame
Shhh the thameslink are sleeping :D
Hi bro
Would you come to St.Albans?
Station: Check Front Of Train
Train: Check Station Screens

Finally they have learnt new design. I am very much happy. It feels good that they are coming out of the mindset of cooying, pasting and destroying other countries.
Delay repay to the fore
does the tube go to Brent Cross west?
No
no , Brent Cross (which is Brent as was)
Under 2 hour gang
No free badges or bags like the gwr one's
They gave out some small badges! Got one myself!
@@NickBadley that's good as usually references are made to the freebies :)
I'm sure that the lady you called Jen is more normally seen paddling in the Thames mud with Nicola White and Si Finds!
That was @JenOnTheMove - she's also a transport CZcamsr, based in in Manchester (and her video's already out as well).
How many other CZcamsrs did you encounter? Didn't see some of the usual suspects.
Decent station I suppose
Is he wearing school uniform
Pointless ? journey Brent Cross to Brent Cross West ?
360p gang
another pointless journey Brent Cross to Brent Cross
