I tried to use this service but at the last minute they stopped calling at reading why 😡.

Why no pantograph while under the wires into and out of Euston?

Best guess is the junction that links the GWML and WCMl is not electrified

@@jayceeyoukay7321 to be honest I’m not sure, I think it because when the train leaves the Overground route towards Richmond, it goes on a freight line which I don’t think is electrified

Great video. If I had just listened to the soundtrack without watching, I would have thought Pacers! The flange squeal was very loud. Is it just the Hitachi units or do the Pendolinos have the same problem? Pity the overhead wiring systems aren't connected between Euston and the GW mainline. I do wonder about the planned HS2 station at Euston- does it really need so many platforms if an allegedly congested Euston is already handling extra GW trains in addition to its own services? Just a thought.

@@MervynPartin the sound when filming the second clip was absolutely horrible, I had to fight the urge to stop filming and cover my ears. The sound does happen with other trains at Euston because when there are lots of tracks, it happens sometimes but not that badly. Also about the HS2 thing, I think Euston is already overcrowded and when HS2 opens, it will get even worse. I would definitely put it somewhere else but to be honest I don’t know where

Nice video. I’ve got 1 question, where did the trains leave the WCML?

at the willesden freight yard, joining the north pole depot then onto the GWML

Would like to see a cab view of exact route at Willesden. Only place two lines linked I think. Interestingly, Brunel originally considered an arrangement with the L&B for GWR (proper!) to use Euston)

@thetrainhub390 19 сағат бұрын

It would be cool if GWR did a few trains a day from Euston instead of Paddington but it would be pretty impractical

This is the London equivalent of when Amtrak trains terminate at Grand Central instead of Penn Station

@thetrainhub390 19 сағат бұрын

Isn’t Grand Central the main station so why don’t the Amtrak trains terminate there. Or is it like London where there are multiple termini?
