NetworkSynthwavE: Vibes to Network SouthEast

[@maskmarvin803]

this is a new genre: Railwave

[@bahnspotterEU]

It's been around for a while, check out Alan Fisher Extras for more like this.

[@alanthefisher]

Nice pacing and editing 🤙

[@Isee3]

And thank you for the inspiration! TGV synthwave remains the definitive masterpiece of the genre ;)

[@fatwalletboy2]

Chris Green really did try to improve the railways.

[@Captainpubwatch]

All of this is excellent but from 6:33 is a real work of art! The music and edits really work and I feel a real sense of atmosphere watching the slammer coming into Waterloo while the guard of an outbound 455 has his cup of tea (9:24). I’m building an NSE era layout in my loft and playing this music fits the trains running about there too. Suits really well

[@aaronsmith9209]

To think, Crossrail (at 3:30) was thought of so long ago and we only just got it a year ago. Hopefully Crossrail 2 and HS2 will not take so long. We got Thameslink so much faster. I feel like British Rail achieved a lot despite some very hostile Tory governments though.

[@Super_Gluee]

Well hs2 just got cancelled

That was really cool! Despite growing up along the NSE network, I was not around to ride on them. But there are still some stuff left from NSE such as some signage at Barking or some red lamp posts in Winchester. It's a shame the railways got privatised.

[@TheTrainiac377]

Pretty sure at some point at Lewes station the signal box there has some Network South east signage, might be gone now though

I liked the ""Jaffa cake"" livery on the old 4cep trains in Kent, although it seemed to be a bit short lived. Great video!!! ❤

i have watched this every night before bed for a week, ty for making~

[@alexb__4133]

Mid- or Late 90s for Crossrail, haha. Only 20+ years late.

[@cjmillsnun]

Also the TL upgrade was also 20 years too late. It was originally called Thameslink 2000. You can blame privatisation for both.

[@Glenn83100]

​@@cjmillsnun and John Major said privatising would mean more investment from the private sector. lol 🤣

[@GustavSvard]

At least the budget didn't go up! A nice £ 1.5 billion budget. 03:33 ;)

[@bobtahoma]

Well, technically not “late” with regards to that target as the project had not been signed off at that point.

"It will be the mid or late 90s when London's Crossrail link will become a reality" Yeah, about right!

And to think The new trains that were introduced in these videos are now being put to scrap

[@LunaDragofelis]

I love network south east, it's my favorite train franchise. Even though I'm too young to have experienced it in real life and I'm not even from Britain, I still feel massive nostalgia towards it.

[@wence25games89]

The progress Network Southeast made was substantial. Key infrastructure upgrades and many new rolling stock! Today that would've taken x1.7 funding lol. (Just a guess)

[@stevenmoran4060]

NSE was supposed to be the template for privatisation. NSE, Intercity. Network Northwest, Regional Railways and Scotrail. But no, the government thought it knew better and created Railtrack and Tocs! That went well didn’t it? Chris Green was well liked and knew his stuff, leaving NSE and taking control of Intercity.

[@satyris410]

I'm sitting here feeling pretty sick if I move about too much so I'm just going to sit here and watch this..

@@cjmillsnun in any world they were better than the old 4epb... at least the 4cep you can walk thru the driver ends.

I believe there was in 1987 proposals for Network North West, Network North East and Network Central. However funding never materialised and instead GMPTE, WYPTE and Centro were sort of minimal investment outcomes……

[@BritishTrainspotting]

Where did you source all this footage from? Apart from the music being a tad too loud in some parts of the video, its quite fantastic! Excellent mix of music, footage, and timing! Major source found: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maSYqJhnoMSZl7s

God, I'm so jealous of the modern, high quality train service you all have over there. Meanwhile in the states, we still have penny-pinching politicians who wouldn't give Amtrak a cent, and even progressives who have no vision. I try to be optimistic but it's hard

It's a real shame, I live in germany and we have very a similar network like the National rail. I hope the US invest into Railways and gets just as good as their European counterpart
