Boogies Trains at: London Victoria - 10 March, 2023

I pass through Victoria frequently and have reported from here before. I had an hour to spare and thought it was time to record the scene as it is today.

Great video

London Victoria is such a amazing station steeped in history and with Southeastern, Southern and Gatwick Express that do serve London Victoria. Plus I do think that Gatwick Express should of ordered more Class 387/2s or to have back the Class 387/2 that were on loan with GWR and Great Northern.

5S40, I guess, is a Peak train entering service?

Looked like a challenging place to film, you did well.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Thank you.

[@RedArrow73]

. . . and the 'RA' notation?

[@BoogiesTrains]

Right away. Signal to the driver of the train that the platform staff have confirmed that the doors are closed and the train can leave.

Hi, do you know why the Southern trains can't go to Brighton via London Bridge?

[@BoogiesTrains]

They used to but that route was transferred to Thameslink. The train operators are only allowed to run the routes and level of service that are in their contract. Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern is complicated as the contracts are linked.
