- Hello and welcome to my annual end of year visit to Clapham Junction where you'll see no end of services from South Western Railway, Southern and London Overground.
There's a rich and varied history to come with this station and even though there were lines passing through the site there wasn't a physical station here for a good few years. Before the railway reached Clapham the area was rural and oddly enough specialised in Lavender. Hence why you have Lavender Hill in the area. In 1838 the London and Southampton Railway became the London and South Western Railway which then proceeded to open a line from Nine Elms to Woking. That was the first railway line through the area. The next line to operate was the line from Nine Elms to Richmond which opened in 1846. Two years later Waterloo was opened which then made Nine Elms redundant. In 1860 the line to Victoria was opened and three years later Clapham Junction was opened and was done as a joint venture between the London and South Western Railway, the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and the West London Extension Railway as an interchange for all of their lines.
When the station was built much of the Battersea area was heavily industrial and the Clapham area was fashionable (insert joke here) this actually worked in the railway companies favour as they all wanted to try and get the more upper and middle class people from the surrounding areas to come to Clapham. Which did work for a while, unfortunately there was a negative that was to come with all this. Because of the fact that the Battersea area was heavily industrial it meant that a lot of under privileged people at the time came into the area for work. Because of this the local population sky rocketed and went through the roof. In 1840 the local population was just touching 6000 and by the time 1910 decided to say hello the population was knocking on the door of 168,000. The area was full of slums which was eventually replaced with council housing by 1975.
Thank you everyone for choosing to watch my content throughout the year it really does mean a huge amount to me, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Much love for your closing words
Merry Christmas! You’ve pumped out some great videos within the last week and in this year alone! Many thanks. 😃
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Thanks very much for your continued support bud it really is greatly appreciated :)
I wouldn't want to be the signaller controlling Clapham Junction, my head would explode with all the trains passing everyday.
I Was At Clapham Junction On That Day! I Was There From 11:00AM - 2:00PM
I would have seen you at some stage then surely as I was there from 1pm till 1:30pm doing my filming, whereabouts on the station were you?

@@miahaskurti4539 Ah right ok
Excellent video. Merry Christmas.
Thank you ever so much! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Utterly brilliant. So funny. Tripping up over your words, hilarious. Thank you for all videos you've brought us this year.
It's all part of the service that I provide haha!
The 450 at 8:47 could be from Weybridge, Windsor & Eton Riverside or (as you said) Reading, or operating a Hounslow looper (London Waterloo to London Waterloo via Richmond and Hounslow, or via Hounslow then Richmond)
Merry Christmas tornado I love Clapham junctions lol and the 707s will be called citybeam sets
Thanks very much for the info about the Southeastern service! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Clapham Junction at this time of year can only mean one thing... Have a good new year and see you in 2022!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and you have a great new year!
@@Tornado922 Christmas went well for me! Hope yours was good
Clapham Junction is the busiest station in South London and south of London Waterloo. A train spotters place for train spotting.
A other Fantastic video and have a merry Christmas
Thank you very much :) I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Great video Jarred Clapham Junction is your last one on 2021 and Gatwick Express is back in service on Monday 13th December
Thanks very much bud :)
An excellent video to round off 2021 with sir, complete with the usual slip ups! Roll on 2022 as they say and fingers crossed it will be an even better one! I will say that the South Western Railway is certainly the more horrible livery! As of the South West Trains liveried units with South Western Railway, the red livery is the inner suburban livery, the blue livery is the outer suburban livery and the white livery I'm not too sure on! The 458's used to have no corridors but following a repaint into the South West Trains outer suburban livery, they had corridors inserted into them. Two of the 158's and 159/1's repainted from the second oldest style of the South West Trains livery, which had the orange doors just in case you hadn't known, into the newer style of it, which is with the yellow doors just in case you hadn't known again, didn't require repainting again into the South Western Railway livery, of which there are different variations of it but I can't be bothered to go through them all! You did mention that you always come here to round off each year although I am to believe that wasn't the case last year if I remember correctly! Good to see the usual rule of thumb back this year though! It was nice to see you at Nottingham Station this year and who knows it might happen again in 2022! Have a good new year and I'll see you in 2022 for the next film, of which I won't tell anyone else watching which one as I don't want to give too much away and fingers crossed we get to see a Mainline series of some variation! Better luck with the mask next time as well at the next mystery trainspotting location! 😂
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
@@Tornado922 I certainly did! I guess no end of year from Tornado922 is complete without Clapham Junction! 😂
458s had more than just a repaint.
They were reformed into 5 car units, using rebuilt ex Gatwick Express class 460 "Darth Vader" units. In addition six extra 458s were formed using 460 vehicles. The ex 460 stock is easy to spot, they have ribbon glazing, whereas the original 458 stock have individual glass in rubber window seals. The 458s also had their maximum speed reduced to 75mph.
Since the 442 refurbishment was abandoned and the 442s scrapped, some 458s will be refurbished, reduced to 4-car units and have their 100mph speed reinstated. They will be used on the Portsmouth line services.
As for 2022. Not off to a good start.
All Southern services through Clapham Junction to Victoria have stopped. Southern / Gatwick Express have stopped all services to Victoria due to the Covid situation. Just TfL and SWR at Clapham Junction at the moment.
Southern are just serving London Bridge for now.
Thank you for all the videos in 2021. I really enjoyed them.
Thank you for watching them :)
Brilliant video! I really enjoyed this, have a great Christmas, can't wait to see more videos from you in 2022! :)
Thanks very much mate for your continued support throughout the year it really does mean a huge amount to me, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Also the class 707's with Southeastern are known as City Beams, so next time you venture out onto the South Eastern Mainline, I'm sure you'll know about them!
I'll be sure to catch them!
Clapham Junction, always a good spot. Hope you're having a Merry Christmas Tornado.
I love coming to this station! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was absolutely fantastic thank you

Merry Christmas to you and South-Eastern have named the 707's as city beams. Also, I will wish you a happy new year as well. I hope 2022 will be a fantastic year for you?
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for your support throughout the year
I've Been To Clapham Junction Station Today. And I Saw A Rare Working Of A Class 444 Going To Alton!
Excellent video. Hope you had a good Christmas and all the best for the new year. :)

Will have to look out for you when I'm passing through CLJ. I'm a driver based down at Wimbledon Park so always passing through.
Great video Tornado922

Hi There
Happy Christmas
Just openedmypresents
Havegoodday
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
@Tornado922 you should have gone Winchester there was 2 class 20s & a class 50!
The Gatwick Express resumed operations with the December 2021 timetable change, however, they have since stopped operations again, while the engineering works affecting Southern and Gatwick Express services are done, and Covid cases come back down again
MR T. watched the G.C.R. diesel gala vid you posted last month, which I also attended and enjoyed very much. So just a quick heads up if you do not already know. 15 and 16 January 22 G.C.R. are running an EAST COAST MAINLINE WEEKEND where Black 5 73156, a DMU, A DELTIC, AND TORNADO are booked to run. Check out there website for details and timetables. Have a great Christmas and KEEP POSTING THESE GREAT VIDS.
There is a very real chance that I will be attending that Gala as it looks absolutely amazing! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
@@Tornado922 yes it was a great time , starting with watching this vid. Always enjoy a day at Clapham j. But after a few hours my head starts to spin trying to scribble all the numbers down.
Clapham Junction is the best Station to end 2021. Clapham Junction has the Network Rail Signage on all of its 17 Platforms. As the Northern Line is set to be extended to Clapham Junction there are issues of commuters flooding the extension. To solve this problem, the Northern Line should be extended to Epsom from Battersea Power Station with stops at Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Town, Wimbledon, Wimbledon Chase, North Cheam and Ewell.This coming Thursday, I’ll be on the 7:35 AM South Western Railway Service to Poole where I’ll end my journey at Bournemouth. I’ll be passing by Clapham Junction as the train leaves London for Dorset. The Stops are Woking, Basingstoke, Winchester, Eastleigh, Southampton Airport Parkway, Southampton Central and Brockenhurst before I leave at Bournemouth as the train continues to Poole. The SWR Weymouth services first stop is Clapham Junction and sometimes the train itself divides at Bournemouth with one 5-coach unit continuing to Weymouth and the other staying put. Because of Winter, I’ll be going as far as Bournemouth. I’ll visit Weymouth on Friday April 29, 2022 when the days are longer, warmer and sunny. Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy New Year 2022!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Happy Xmas Tornado!,

It's ok to talk to yourself just be careful if you get into an argument and loose that's the time to worry :-)
I am convinced I have a 3 way argument with myself at times haha
You did say in the video that you like the class 456's but all of them have sadly now been withdrawn! 😞 I found out about it and had to comment straight away and I thought it also seemed appropriate to comment on the withdrawal on this Clapham Junction video! They will sadly be missed that's for sure! 😞
As I live somewhere many miles from railway tracks let along railway tracks carrying passenger cars, I always enjoy spending a bit of time with your videos. Have to confess to enjoying the ones where trains roar through the station at top speed. Was wondering if there are any plans to electrify this section of railway?
Also, you might want to slow down the delivery of your regular intro. For months I've been wondering what exactly you are saying. I finally figured it out (another episode of trains at) but for awhile thought it was "trains app" which doesn't make any sense.
Have you tried a wind screen for your microphone? The wind noise can be a bit wearing.
Otherwise congratulations on another fine year of train videos.
This railway network is actually electrified through the use of a third rail.
In terms of my introduction I have been meaning to start speaking slower but I always seem to end up getting faster and faster as the year progresses and I really have no idea why this is the case but i shall make more of an effort next year to make my commentary more understandable.
I do have a microphone cover over the mic on my tablet which eliminates a lot of the wind noise but sadly can't get all of it so I do apologise for this :)
@@Tornado922 A tiny bit embarrassed to admit that I actually knew about the trains running on third rail. (Some time ago took the train from London to Brighton.) Just gotten used to seeing the electric locomotives getting their electricity from above.
Merry Xmas
Belated Happy new year from india💜💜😂
Merry Christmas tornado 922
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
@@Tornado922 I sure did
I believe this station is the busiest in the world
Clapham Junction isn't as busy as it usually is. SWR have reduced services. Only two per hour to Epsom, with one going to Guildford, the other Dorking. Epsom used to be four per hour, with six at the peak times. Most Salisbury services now terminate at Basingstoke, with just the hourly Exeter's going to Waterloo. Weymouth is hourly now.
As of Jan 2022 it's even quieter. There are NO services to Victoria. No Southern or Gatwick Express through Clapham Junction, due to Covid. They're concentrating their available resources at London Bridge.
All trains from Gatwick are to or via London Bridge.
Epsom prior to Covid had nine to eleven trains per hour to London, serving Waterloo, Victoria, London Bridge. 2022 it's four, 2 x Waterloo, 2 x London Bridge. I do wonder if services will resume to some form of pre Covid levels, or if it will be a convenient and slight of hand way to permanently alter various services?
The train race between the 377's was very good indeed! Personally for long distance I would do a 373 Eurostar vs a 374 Eurostar from London St Pancras International to either Paris Gare du Nord or Brussels Midi! 😂
I don't fancy taking a 377 on an international journey really haha
@@Tornado922 How about a class 43 HST or a class 91 or something! 😂
@@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784 I'll take both lol
Can you please do a rush hour video from Clapham Junction
good video mate how long has the 455s been in service for?
They've been around since the early 80's
Can you do the swr mainline again
Whats 707s doing there, they're at southeastern
Not all of the 707s have transferred to Southeastern yet, the whole fleet should be transferred by spring 2022
14 are still with SWR. 16 have been transferred to Southeastern.
Merry Christmas Tornado922, see you in 2022 and please try get to 20,000 subscribers and do a special video for it
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
What the difference between the SWR 158’s and 159’s
158’s on SWR Are 2 coaches, 159’s Are 3.
next
I'm getting sick and tired of you just putting next on every video. I'm going to start removing your comments.
Excellent video again and in fact great videos for this year have a gret christmas. By the way those seagulls thought it was A Flock of Seagulls hope u got the pun cheers
@@Tornado922 Be better off removing troll comments like that.
Seriously trainspotting on my you tube I'm 39 not 109 please stop this madness go watch big bang theory and see the 2 that love trains on that and then think to yourself am I nuts
not trying to be rude, but please get a new mask
This is one of the few times where it was giving me any issues really.
@@Tornado922 also what app do you use to get the origination and destination of stopping and passing trains?
Merry Christmas
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
