When Thameslink Trains Went to Guildford

[@geofftech2]

If my memory serves me right, Thameslink to Guildford may have started in June 1990 ... and lasted two years until June 1992 when it was cut back to West Croydon, which itself only lasted two years until 1994! But if you have any better recollection of dates, please comment away ... !

[@randomtrainfan6501]

On the mention of West Croydon there was a branch from there to Wimbledon. One of the many old lines replaced by tramlink. It closed in 1997 and for it's last few years used class 456 emus. It used that small bay platform you can see whenever approaching west Croydon. it was also heavily overgrown and worn out during the 90s. Must've been an interesting journey with tiny platforms and 2 car units

[@InfinitelyJames]

Thameslink did technically run within the past 5 years. When the London Bridge trains were introduced regularly from Epsom pre-covid, they used to run to Guildford (in peak), and were on the system as Thameslink (announced as Thameslink on the platform), although ran using Southern stock. Now though, they don't run to Guildford, and are marked as Southern.

[@haden3828]

That’s correct. Southern got rid of the service. It’s on the southern map 2019 version

[@DanBen07]

Some years later there was a South West trains from Guildford to West Croydon that got discontinued at some point. I remember seeing that on some London and Southeast train maps.

[@jonathancombe9991]

I think they were proposed to return to Guildford as part of what was then Thameslink 2000 as well, though they never did. Guildford has lost a lot of useful services over the years. Thameslink has gone, all Crosscounty has gone and the South Western service is much reduced (no Guildford to Waterloo via Woking stopping service off peak, fewer trains south to Haslemere and Portsmouth too).

[@-MapEnthusiastjj4eu]

This video makes me so grateful for the brilliant trains that have taken me on my commute for the past 5 years and will continue to do that until i finish secondary school. Thank you Geoff for another amazing story on the railways.😊

[@stevewoodard527]

A melancholy retrospective, beautifully produced -- well done! Wait until you're 75, as I am now, and things like this will become even more meaningful. Thanks for making this, from Arizona.

[@geofftech2]

thanks Steve ... lovely comment. I hope to still be travelling the railways at 75!

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

The words I was about to write

[@maryreichle7623]

Thanks Geoff. There is something about a re visit to the commutes of our best years, cthanjs so much.

[@lizgoodyear4657]

That took me back 60 years! We lived in Fetcham, my mother didn't drive so we would catch the bus to Stoke D'Abernon then train to Guildford. Coming home we would get off at Effingham Junction and I would look for the Leatherhead train coming out the sidings just like you remembered!

[@IainG81]

Very well summed up.

[@Eric_Hunt194]

"Sorry I'm late, there was a points failure" "At Effingham Junction?" "No, at effing Surbiton!"

[@carltonleboss]

What an absolutely lovely video.

[@LionheartLRJ]

These "smaller" videos you make occasionally have a real power to them and cut incredibly deep and actually make me feel quite emotional. I recently (A few years now) moved away from London having lived there all my life and find myself thinking and reminiscing about my commutes, to school, to social events, to other things, and how some of those things just don't exist now. But yeah, beautiful video, cheers Geoff ♥

[@ANorthernSoutherner]

Immediately guessed it had to be Tim on the keys! We spend days, weeks, months of our lives commuting, and some of it can be beautiful 😅

[@musiqtee]

I was going to write “That must be Tim playing…” but sure, I’m too slow… 😅 He played the verse from ‘Take on me’, and later Geoff cited a bit of lyrics from it… (cheating, I’m 🇳🇴‘Ian…)

[@thekingofming]

I came here to say the same. Great to see collabs with similar minded KZbinrs

[@MiddayDolomite]

I was going to say the same, but I didn't: It's better to be safe than sorry.

[@ScottEvil]

Came here to say the same. Odd that the music kept stopping right before the Take On Me line.

[@five-o5362]

None of commuting is beautiful, you idolise it only because you miss your old selph.

[@spbracey7]

What I thought was going to be a simple history lesson on Thameslink Trains running to Guildford turned out to be a deeply personal contemplation on the passage of time and how we must enjoy the moment however banal the occasion. Well done Geoff, you are so good at baring your soul and making us all think about living in the now. Wonderful stuff.

[@fyshfysh]

i can't be the only one who immediately checked the video length was in fact 11 minutes 12 seconds 😁. lovely video and lovely message

[@garybroadhurst3548]

Nope, me too. This makes me a little concerned (in a nice way) about have thoughtful and obsessive, even, Geoff is with his video content. Well done though!

[@markbulla1851]

I really enjoyed this video, Geoff. What a nicely done story.

[@anoaktree]

I feel like we treat commutes as a sort of lost time, that just disappears. So it is so nice getting to see that it isn't just a waste and that we do make memories.

[@keithparker1346]

I commuted for years and at first hated it but then realised I could use the time to relax read and listen to music

[@thetiredscot7821]

I'm never goof at writing youtube comments but man this hits hard. These past couple of months have been rough for me but I know no matter what things will get better and that despite everything I have been living and will continue to do so. Thanks Geoff, I know everything will work out in the end.

[@Russtynailer]

I was a driver at Selhurst in the early 90's & drove class 319's from Selhurst to Guildford . Used to go as far as Farringdon on return, put the pan up then grub at Farringdon.

[@andydishman9754]

“We only have now.” Said to me years ago by a retired Policeman. Make the very most of each day, be friendly, be nice, it may be your last. A beautiful video Geoff, thank you.

[@MinifigJez]

Wow, we would have been hanging out on Guildford platforms about the same time as each other. Haven’t been to Guildford station in YEARS though, so had no idea the platform had been extended, and I remember that beautiful old signal box well. Great video, thanks for the memories.

[@Sim0nTrains]

The message at the end was just brilliant about enjoying the summer, enjoying the lighter evenings, go and ride trains, travel to random stations and make your own memories and years to come you have your own nostalgia. Memories I made over the years have been brilliant and looking forward to making some more and there are days that I remember like they were only yesterday. Great video Geoff it was produced brilliantly and love one of your stories from the past.

[@andyh444]

That was lovely. And very touching ❤

[@englishmaninmarktredwitz2228]

Wow! Pure art Geoff. Thanks

[@jamesdaw131]

Enjoyed this. Nice change of pace.

[@poggs]

What a wonderful, well-produced, gentle video!

[@Trainspotting_Mayhem]

I still remember the train trip where I fell in love with the railway. When I was about 4, I was on a HST and was travelling to London and then when we got to London, we took the London Underground and when I went on the underground, I enjoyed it so much that I started watching videos on KZbin about the Underground. Now I'm 18, and I still have a deep passion for the railways.

[@perunatovatvitunhyvänmakuisia]

Hi TM

[@EppelheimTV]

I also fell in love with railways and transit due to the London Underground. Which is weird, as I am not even from the UK!

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Aged just 13 I remember seeing one of the 'new' HST's. I was train-spotting at Birmingham New Street with my brother. Lucky for us the old driver invited us in to see the controls, and what an impact that had on a very impressionable 13 year old. I have now recently retired, but can tell you my career choice was made for me that fateful day in Birmingham, and I now look back with great affection at my time spent driving those magnificent trains.

[@cashawX10]

Important message at the end their Geoff ! Heading into my 50's and I remember commuting to Burgess Hill every day in the mid-90's. The final slam door trains mixed with more modern Thameslink stock. The station master at Burgess Hill who was the spitting image of Hank Marvin. All nostaligia, will always be fondly remembered by me...

[@davidf2281]

I do miss the slam-doors.

[@malcolmcorry2999]

Beautiful video, Geoff. Nostalgia. My family and I returned from 3 wonderful years in Australia in 1975 and getting on the train at Haywards Heath to Victoria, a fellow passenger said he had’nt seen me for a couple of weeks. Then onto the 1950’s corridor carriage with extra soft seats.

[@philiptaylor7902]

What a lovely video, thanks Geoff, and thanks Tim.

[@GamerSpencer]

Brilliant video. Thanks Geoff.

[@paulmark63]

Hi Geoff Paul in Orpington I would say one of your finest videos you done very well done 🎉

[@andrewchivers509]

I grew up in Earlsfield in the 60s. My nostalgia was sitting on top of the air raid shelter at the end of the garden counting the number of carriages of each train as it headed towards Wimbledon or Waterloo. My Mum (and neighbours) had the patience of a saint as I yelled out how many each train had. I loved the 4Subs. My Mum is no longer with us. Thanks for this Geoff.

[@isashax]

What a beautiful nostalgic video. Loved it!

[@85flintstone]

What a strangely, beautiful, melancholic video. It is an area of the country I have no link to but somehow felt strangely nostalgic for it. And a reminder of the relentless march to our ultimate destination.

[@richardmellor9625]

Thank you Geoff, that was an uplifting delight to watch.

[@jonnynexus]

Lovely film. I do love these little, thoughtful videos.

[@davidpiper3652]

Geoff, you are exceptionally good at making this type of video.

[@kojoXIII]

Would love to see more videos like this Geoff. You’ve got me reminiscing. Thinking about London Waterloo the first time I came to London as a 7 year old and how much it’s changed in the 35 years since. Also riding the slammers on the Portsmouth main line and changing onto the old tube stock(all in white London transport livery) on the Northern line to Belsize Park. Good times. Thank you for rekindling those memories 👍🏾

There’s a strange ritual in taking the same journey every day, filled with tiny patterns that we barely ever notice, thank you Geoff for giving an ode to the commute

So, I purchased a rail card, got an excellent deal, and travelling all the way by train, which I'm very looking forward to! I've been meaning to see the country by train for years now. Glad I've got round to doing it!

[@neilpearson157]

i really enjoyed that Geoff. Thank you. The piano music reminded me of one of my favourite TV series, Hill Street Blues with the station sergeant's memorable line "Let's do it to them before they do it to us"' 11:12

This is a reason I watch your videos Geoff. Reflecting on the past, like we all do - I just think this is up there with your best.

Amazing story. Chin up Geoff, you’re a legend.

[@richardarmstrong6513]

I adore videos like this and no one does it better than Geoff, I used to work in Watford and lived in Harpenden. The 321 bus was unreliable, so I used to get the Thameslink to St Albans and then the little train over to Watford. Did this for three years. Lovely memories. The memories of the ticking clocks have come flooding back. I now commute between Diss and Liv Street twice a week and it's just not the same. Thanks so much for the memories Geoff

[@hologram1211]

Thank you Geoff, as a resident of Bookham during the late 80s and early 90s I often travelled to Guildford on the train and remember how annoying it was to have to change at Effingham Junction just one stop down the line from Bookham because trains didn't run all the way to Guildford. Having recently returned to the area its a great improvement that they do now go all the way without having to change! I don't recall Thameslink services though but thanks for a nostalgic trip down memory lane in a section of the rail network I know very well. ❤

[@MrDavil43]

When I use Guildford station I often stroll to the south end where the multi story car park is, but in my mind's eye the old steam depot is still there as in my spotting days. On one of which I tried to get into the shed by politely asking at the entrance on the adjacent road bridge. The chap who answered my knock asked me what classes of loco I would expect to find there and I proudly reeled off "N's, U's, Ivatt 2MT's, a B4..." upon which he said "Quite right, so you know what's there so no need for you to go and see. Now clear off!"

[@paulatrahern1336]

[@HenrysAdventures]

That was a great video. Always nice to hear people's railway related memories! Its funny how we've had these short lived but fondly remembered services. About 10 years later there was that Anglia Railways service to Basingstoke which came and went within a couple of years.

[@louiseb7161]

What a beautiful video

[@KoreaEnjoyer]

I only moved to London last summer and always had to switch at West Brompton for the District line from the Overground. In September of last year I moved somewhere else and didn't have to use the Overground anymore, instead I would just get on the District at Wimbledon to Earl's Court. Every time I pass through West Brompton I look out the window and look across the platforms and see the Overground and I feel so much nostalgia. Even though it was only last summer, it feels like 10 years ago. So much has changed in just a year. Whenever I ride the Overground from Clapham Junction up towards Willesden Junction all the memories of those commutes come flooding back. Since I only used that route in the summer until I moved in September, all the memories are associated with warmth and clear blue skies. My life was so different back then and was populated by different people and events. All of that comes flooding back whenever I pass through West Brompton without fail.

[@Nooticus]

Absolutely beautiful video. Truly stunning. Excellent arrangement from Tim too.

[@mdhazeldine]

Born in 82, grew up in Hersham and now back there again, but spent 8 years in Godalming. Some of that commuting through Guildford in the morning fast service that goes through Effingham Jct. Like you, I have nostalgia for the NSE days. I never knew Thameslink ran to Guildfod! That said, I do remember going to an open day at Wimbledon depot in 1991 and seeing a class 319 and wondering why it was there. I guess I have the answer now? They also had a class 456 in NSE grey livery, which I got to sit in the cab of and still remember it even though I was only 9. Those trains were pretty much brand new at the time. All gone now, but the memories are kept alive by videos like this. Good stuff Geoff!

[@CopenhagenRailProductions]

Seeing this video, actually makes me wanna shed a tear. I have fond memories of the Copenhagen S-tog, when i was a schoolboy in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Remembering the old 2nd Generation S-trains, spending many hours of standing on a footbridge that's about 2/3 of a mile west of Albertslund S-train station and watch trains go by. Many hours were spend on Albertslund station itself and the surrounding area. And as you say, yes. We all get older. A little more grey, a little more wrinkly but most importantly, more wiser. I'm only 18 days away from turning 25. remembering the S-trains, like they were in the 2000s makes me feel old, (yes, i know. i shouldn't speak, considering my age... lol), i remember, again, the old 2nd Generation S-trains from the 1960s, and when the current ones were brand new. Sometimes, i can even feel my heart crack from nostalgia. Despite that i'm only (almost) 25, i remember so much of the past 15 - 20 years of the S-trains and of my childhood, that sometimes, i just feel like crying for the sake of nostalgia. Yes, it hurts like mad on the soul, but we all gotta follow time. The Danish railways might not have much left from my childhood, but i can atleast keep them as fond memories, from when times were much simpler. Thanks for making this video, Goeff. Yes, i might've shed a tear or two, but i did it for nostalgia. Cheers on, mate. Greetings from across the Nordic Sea

Lovely video Geoff. As someone who now happily lives in Stoneleigh it has resonance for me. Just to part fill in a gap, I moved to Farncombe in September 1995 and the West Croydon to Guildford service was still running then. I remember I deliberately went shopping for my house in Croydon so I could go on this service and little railway adventure. Thanks for stirring up some happy memories.

[@JMWflicks]

Thanks Geoff. I've just spent a weekend in Edinburgh with my wife, and with a morning to spare, and a visit to my brother near Newhaven in the early afternoon, we decided to walk on the footpath from Haymarket to Newhaven along the track of the former Caledonian line from Dalry Junction to Leith North. A delightful walk but evoking memories from my childhood of riding on this line when it was still in service up to April 1962. Bitter-sweet. London suburban railways are almost all still there. Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, lost them all.

[@southcalder]

It may yet carry something on rails. Edinburgh City Council want to use it (now known as the Roseburn Path) for the Granton extension of the Trams, currently in the early planning stages. It’s meeting resistance though, as it’s a very popular walking and cycling route. But, a keen eye will notice that the concrete base for a turnout towards the Roseburn Path exists on the current tram line between Haymarket and Murrayfield.

[@djcwey2402]

I enjoyed your journey down Memory Lane with the Class 455, but this just took it up another notch! There's not many people that would still have their old Walkman and obviously the wire on those generation of headphones wouldn't last. It struck me about using "Take on Me" and although I'm a fan of A-ha I didn't notice it was that song at the middle of the video... But then you could have ended with "...I'll be gone in a year or two"! Would be fascinated to hear of your travels on the (Ian Allan) NSE Network Days? Living in Dorset we were permitted to travel up on the 22:38 Weymouth - Waterloo SWTPO. It arrived at Waterloo around 03:30 and maybe as the train terminated at it's destination after midnight was why we could commemce of travel the day before? The SWTPO consisted of two Royal Mail coaches (one for sorting mail and the other for stowage) and 5 or 6 Mark 1's. On one occasion I attempted to sleep in the one of the rope luggage racks of a compartment style coach (probably a BSK?).

[@qwertyTRiG]

[@walkingtheboogie]

It's such a lovely video. Trains via Bookham are mostly hourly again, but at least they run to Guildford. There are no trains via Sutton anymore. I use to commute from Guildford to Harrow. In the evening there woul be a 20 minute wait at Clapham Junction so I would visit nearby railway stations to kill time.

[@vlogdemon]

Very well done video Geoff. Even though I’m comparatively young, I felt it when you said that we’ve all gone a bit grey. I remember watching your Londonist videos back when I was 15 dreaming of moving to London on day, now I’m 26, married, well travelled, living in London, and I even got to meet you a few months back at Amersham station after the Heritage Day/1938 stock departure.

[@colinwiltshire5450]

A wonderful, lyrical video, one of your best. . I used to take the bus into Leicester to work - I don't drive; but in 1994 Syston station was reopened as part of the Ivanhoe line service. Within three months my (government) office had moved close to Leicester station, so it was convenient to take the train to work. Just one stop, Syston to Leicester, from a short, single platform, on a Class 156, but I felt, sitting on the train, that I was a proper commuter at last!

[@roboftherock]

Oh yes. As an apprentice there was a convenient bus service between my home and my place of employment. There also was a less convenient rail service as well, but I would often treat myself to a train journey instead of a bus journey.
