lsl needs to have a open day for the public

[@PoxyMoxon97]

@@anthonymcdonnell5384 they did and recieved heavy criticism over the cramped walking routes and layout of the event - it was great, but could have been optimised better for sure

[@ryanohara476]

It's hard to tell if it looks real or like a model railway! Stunning views!

[@stone_me1136]

I don't know - the station, diesel depot (LSL), independent lines, north and south sheds and general layout really gets to you with this film, especially with the mesmerising music. I remember the early 60's, where did it all go?

[@susanlewis3752]

Wow superb vid, it's all there In good detail🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸💋💋💋

[@trainsplanes]

Thanks Susan.. 👍

[@davefreeman7629]

wow very nice did not know you could fly drones near the staion great views of what you never see from the ground nice one.

[@TPWSProductions]

You can't. Its illegal.

[@deathbyteacup]

@@TPWSProductions It's perfectly legal. Sub 250g drone, so it's in the A1 open subcategory. Flight allowed anywhere in urban areas including overflight of buildings and people (excluding restricted airspace and gatherings of 1000 people or more) - quick check on CAA website and there's no NOTAMs or restricted airspace around Crewe Station or its depots.

[@keithbreckons3885]

Great video!!

[@kennethmcintyre2847]

Stunning. A whole new perspective of LSL.

[@petecartwright1622]

now that's what I call a rail heritage centre 100000/10

[@CherrhamJunction]

A different, but fantastic view of Crewe. Gives a good insight into how much variety of traction is stored there.

[@trainsplanes]

They’ll be all sorts more inside those sheds 👌

[@ianpark1906]

Brilliant shoot. Wonderful to see all the parts you don't get to see , and what's lurking there 😁. You never really get a true idea of the size and scale of the place 👍👍

[@trainsplanes]

Thanks Ian 👍

[@ook2763]

Absolute great what you did here, and the whole area is so impressive with all these tracks, thanks a lot!

[@roywatson8133]

glad to see that they made use of the diesel depot and gave it a make over after it was closed in the mid noughtes and was very run down

[@garymcgregor7048]

Fantastic footage. Love all that. More please 👏

[@joeritchie7286]

Its like seein your own big model railway

[@annamarietrindal1967]

This was a truly amazing video my friend, thankyou so much for posting it 👍

[@annamarietrindal1967]

To a train obsessed girl like me, that video was just awesome. Seeing that has only made me more determined to visit Crewe in 2023

[@calimonkey1836]

Excellent. Amazing footage.

[@delticnapierdccsound4236]

Jeremy Hoskins back yard. Very interesting.. Well done 😊

[@franciszeksliwka740]

good, nice video quality, what drone was it?

[@OxleyCentral]

amazing that. Like to see one of Oxley rolling stock depot....

[@brianknowles7130]

Great vid. with unusual views. Maybe Totton or Bescot next ? thks

[@emeraldzebra9360]

I never knew there was 4 blue class 43's! I'd like to see this go over all the other yards too

[@trainsplanes]

I’ll get a few more done 👍

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

Superb video. The station will look a lot better on the west side when the old south & north bays return, as will the old p1 as P13, opposite the horse landing platform. LSL also to gain a couple more sidings to,which will be very viewable from the new p13. Work due to start spring 2023.

[@trainsplanes]

Look forward to all of that being completed 👌👍

[@owenslanejunction7544]

what will lsl use these sidings for will it be the hsts or charter stock?

[@davidsnapebrcrosslane8782]

A future video of Basford Hall yard would be of interest. With all the recent building work going on it's impossible to get close now.

[@trainsplanes]

I will try and do this however they’ll likely be a few challenges getting close enough I suspect.. I’ll see what I can do 👍

[@owenslanejunction7544]

amazing

[@dennisshaffer4528]

Had no idea size of Crewe interchange.

[@traintakes]

Amazing! Even after all the years Crewe is still a massive railway interchange for so many different types of traction. How difficult was it to source permission for aerial filming from here? Would love to see more of these!

[@RailwayTavern]

Yea I thought the same but it’s only difficult if you ask right 😅😂

[@deathbyteacup]

@@RailwayTavern In the A1 open subcategory it is not illegal and no permission is required as long as you have done the online CAA test, paid £10 for your license, and have properly labelled your drone and fly it responsibly.

[@-nope3030]

Hi, is there anyway I can contact you directly? I work on the infrastructure and have some rather specific questions as drone use is something I would like to utilise myself as long as its within parameters. Network Rail have their own policy and restrictions regarding it, so would like to find out some limitations if possible.

[@GWRailFan]

id love for LSL to do another open day, would love to see all the stock

[@trainsplanes]

That would be on a few peoples wish list I’d say 👌👍

[@GWRailFan]

@DestinationTrainsPlanes did you record any drone footage of the other depots in crewe ?? Id love to see em :) and yeah, the scotrail set looked so good

[@justinobrien3593]

Nice trainset lol 😆

[@Barcikowy]

Woooww!! Look Dovetail Games - sidding tracks are not empty!

[@ar4498]

Am i seeing things or do lsl have 4 blue pullman 43s?

[@swearingkevo]

Gr8 vid

[@trainsplanes]

Cheers Kev..

[@mikebebb9268]

Is that the old rammy green 47 from Basford at the back of the diesel shed?

[@danielsellers8707]

I think the proposed redevelopment of Crewe station should bring the disused platforms back into use and build 2 new platforms on the avoiding lines for the Manchester - Wales trains so they don't need to cross the main line. Going to give Crewe & Nantwich a miss during the rebuilding for HS2...

[@BrianSeaman]

Great film! Is it possible to fly a drone through some of the sheds please? Or has that been done already?

[@trainsplanes]

That’s one for the wish list 🤣👍

[@Burtonupontrentrailwaystoday]

What drone did you use to film the footage

[@trainsplanes]

I’ve got a couple of DJI models 👍

[@AgathaAndAnything]

Definitely yes…. But not a fan of the music!

[@trainsplanes]

Thanks - Back to the drawing board to find another licence free music track 🤣🤣👍

[@AgathaAndAnything]

@@trainsplanes yep always an issue, I rarely use music because of copyright claims but a lot of people I know use epidemic sounds at £10 a month… I just don’t want to pay it 🤣

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

@@trainsplanes I use epeidemic sound however , you will never please everyone regardless of what you use! Great footage.

[@Tiffy552]

Wouldn't the old signal box make a brilliant viewing area.

[@trainsplanes]

Good shout that.. 👍

[@NickGarswood]

Very enjoyable, but please change the title to Crewe Railway station!

[@trainsplanes]

Thanks Nick - Done 👍

[@stevenmoran4060]

LSL are going to need a bigger yard and works!

[@trainsplanes]

That is very true! 👍

[@DysonTim]

They’ve now taken on the Carlisle Upperby site.

[@johnrice3882]

Looks better from above, down on terra firma, not so good!

[@RobertPowell-he9gs]

As amazing as this is I hope you got the required permissions to do this...

[@gamefront]

No permission is required for sub 240g done in open A subcategory. Even on private land, there’s no rights to the airspace above it. As long as drone is registered with CAA and flown safely, as it appears to be.

[@jamjardj1974]

If the rumours are true, most of this will disappear.

[@markladley2934]

O look you can see the Crewe Arms Hotel, you should have zoomed in so you could see all the illegal immigrants it full of.

[@tomhiggins4124]

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
