- A very boring visit to Leicester station on the Midland Mainline where we only see a handful of services from East Midlands Trains and Cross Country, I wouldn't be counting this station out completely though purely because this was filmed on a Sunday when engineering works were taking place so unbeknown to me the line was closed in between Leicester to Bedford so replacement bus services were on a regular timed departure from the station. I will happily come back here on a busier day where I'd get much more variety as Well as some freight.
My next station is Luton on the Midland Mainline filmed in 2 parts.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, videos and photos from all of my goings on throughout 2017
Really enjoy your videos tornado922. Keep up the amazing work. Kings Sutton would be a great station to do as has a great mix of Chiltern, Great Western and Cross Country and great class 68s and 88s as well 🙂
thanks very much for saying so it really does mean a huge amount. I really enjoyed my time
I visit Leicester on a regular basis as I was born and raised here till my family moved to Northampton, glad to hear that you won't rule Leicester out trust me it's better than this, I usually go on a weekday and it's one of the busiest stations on this line, on a good day quite a few freight train pass through too, I was last there about 2 months ago midweek and had a very good 2/3 hours there :)
I will definitely be coming back here as I really did pick a bad day to come to this station. I've seen from a few films in the past at the level of traffic that usually passes through
Yea, it is much better in the week it's much busier then, I try to avoid Spotting on Sundays if I can as it can be quite unpredictable . But even with the limited traffic that Sunday it's still a good video :)
Well thanks very much for saying so :) I'll definitely be coming back during the week this time round
Your welcome :) ..... My last 4 to 5 visits back here have been in the afternoon and it's usually at it's busiest, I love going here in general as it's where I was born, left in 1984 but go back as often as I can, also will look into visiting some of the other stations in these videos too :)
Am i 1st ?..whoo..come back later when the HD kicks in
Looks like an interesting place to visit. Good video as always. Keep up the great content.
Its a good station but sadly I came at the wrong time, I will be coming back, thanks for liking the film
Tornado922 Could you do a train video at Weymouth
It's a bitter pill to swallow given the Government has cancelled the electrification of the Midland Mainline between Bedford and Sheffield. However the Thameslink 700s can go on track without the overhead wires. Instead new hybrid diesel-electric trains similar to the 800s will go t Sheffield. Possibly Thameslink could go as far North as Leicester and run Leicester-Brighton services. Electrification is very expensive as shown when the West Coast Mainline was electrified between Euston and Glasgow but was well over budget. Deltic Diesels ran on the East Coast Mainline between Kings Cross and Edinburgh in the meantime. Only under Margaret Thatcher was the East Coast Mainline electrified to allow for fast electric trains on the route. In North London a spur linking the East Coast Mainline to St Pancras will be opened next year thus allowing Thameslink 700s to travel between Brighton, Peterborough, Maidstone, Horsham, Gatwick Airport and Littlehampton.
I cant see Thameslink running or even buying Bi-mode trains in all honesty. Given the size of the parent company Govia it would probably just be easier to stick to their current routes and work to improve on their reliability.
I used to be a Train Manager on EMT/MML so ive seen quite enough of Leicester station!!!😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, well I was happy to help in your happy memories of Leicester lol, I shall be coming back here just to warn you ;) obviously not on a sunday when engineering works are taking place XD

Thanks very much for saying so
great video mate :) really enjoyable :)
Thanks very much for saying so it is greatly appreciated
Tornado922 btw can u add me on hangouts
Sadly the wires won't ever reach this part of the world but maybe that means the HST's will stick around?
From my understanding EMT will be keeping the HST fleet for the foreseeable future

Did Chloe have a nice dinner waiting for you when you got home to make up for the disappointment?
Mind your own business. It's nothing to do with you.
Grow up. Do you not have a sense of humour?
Jack Fletcher there are no rules of any sort on my channel, my only rule is I don't tolerate abusive language
Sadly Robert she was working that day so I had to fend for myself hahaha
Never mind, make sure she has a nice packed lunch ready for your next outing. Really enjoy your vids and commentary, glad you have a sense of humour to. Carry on the good work.
It's just coz u go to loads of different places and no one else has done it
I have noticed that a lot of the Scottish stations don't get seen to so I'm sure that one day I'll be able to go there and get them covered
Ok
