Pub then a BUSY STAFFORD Station, can't be bad.

Meet a mate in a Birmingham pub for some lunch and a few beers, then got a train to Stafford which did seam busier than the last time I went there. Filmed 28th June 2022
See what you think ?

[@matt154uk9]

Beer and trains...the perfect combination, what could be better!! Great video

[@antman09ful1]

Well I got the idea out of your book.

[@john1703]

All those lovely overhead wires, yet so few trains make use of them. I did like the mail train with its two pantographs.

[@antman09ful1]

You are right John we should use more electric locos we’re the yards are wired up. Thanks for your interest in my video.

[@scruffwoodscruffwood6505]

Nice shot of the Garston cars Mike.Another well filmed video

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks Owain, you keep well mate. ??

[@ejc7129]

Great Video 😎👍🏽🎉👀 I have always loved Stafford...it takes some beating for observing a great variety 😌👍🏽

[@antman09ful1]

Couldn't agree more with you mate. Cheers for your comment. Mike.

[@pmallenuk]

Great footage & pub lunch & beer before a trip to Stafford sounds good. Stafford is usually busy and offers something. My first all nighter was here back in the day.

[@antman09ful1]

I remember you doing that all nighter Paul, something you can't do these day as they shut the station.

[@barrythedieselelectricstea5217]

excellent shots👍 glad you got the 2 90s unlike me missed 3 90 freightliners blocked by a another freight 😠

[@antman09ful1]

Sorry to hear that happened Barry, but it happens to the best of us, cheers for your comment. Mike.

[@iankirvan1986]

What great variety... A good day out.... Beer & Trains 😉

[@antman09ful1]

It was a great half day Ian, cheers for taking a look. Mike.

[@colingarwood9971]

Just caught up with this one Mike and glad i never missed it. 2 x 68's on 2 different freights as rare as hens teeth and plenty of engineers traffic to break up the procession of containers made for an excelent video. Stafford never fails to deliver the goods ( pun intended lol ) Thanks for showing Mike, ATB Colin.

[@antman09ful1]

Hi Colin, you are right it’s a good place if you get there at the right time, if there are some extras it’s a really great station. Thanks for finding and watching my video Colin. That care Mike.

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Great video as usual Mike👍

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you 👍.

[@MrDeltic15]

Well that was certainly a busy spell for freight Mike - I guess mid-afternoon to early evening from the workings? Good variety of locos and liveries there.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes Darren you are about right with your times, I thought as I'm out seeing a mate for lunch I might as well continue to Stafford later.

[@rodneycooperLMSCoach]

I haven't seen your videos for a while ,doing other things although have seen other channels but nice to see yours again as they stand alone with their professional quality.

[@antman09ful1]

Rodney that is good of you to say that about my videos, I don’t expect people to watch everything I upload as there are other KZbinrs out there. Cheers Mike.

[@UKTransportVideos82]

Pub and railways is good mix mike specially when it's good stuff like this station

[@antman09ful1]

Well it made a great day a better day Andrew, thank you for taking a look. ATB. Mike.

[@CalderTrains]

Absolutely superb shots Mike looked like a fantastic day - well done great stuff

[@antman09ful1]

I have a great busy four hours Edward, and I kept the camcorder steady after drinking the beers so I did well lol. Cheers Mike.

[@deauvilledad07]

Super video Mike, nice mix of freight. Well done 🤓

[@antman09ful1]

I had a great afternoon come evening Tony, plus great company in the pub.

[@TrainTraction]

Well the action just didn't stop Mike, and neither did the trains. Spectacular shots and captures there! Wow! Splendid sounds and workings! Glad you caught these! Amazing that! Wonderful action and variety! Sensational captures and engineers, the duo crane was interesting! Lovely photos with music to my ears as well haha. Awesome editing as well! Excellent detailing and camera work! Excellent detailing and camera work! Plenty on offer! Highly enjoyable stuff! You did well there! The car trains were good too! Very nice indeed! Loooooooooooooooved it! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie

[@antman09ful1]

Sounds a great place to visit Jamie, will you be going there soon lol. No, thank you Jamie for your great comment. Mike.

[@TrainTraction]

@@antman09ful1 Haha Mike maybe one day I'd have to organise a full day or good few hours there. Anytime! All the best, Jamie

[@conceyullena]

Like 35 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍🙋‍♂️

[@antman09ful1]

Many thanks.

[@tattoo1084]

Action packed freight Mike.👍👍

[@antman09ful1]

Yes it was David, Cheers Mike.

[@davidclough7346]

Used to be a frequent user of trains from Stafford until 2 years ago - mid afternoon to late evenings were always busy, good to see the railways in use by so much freight. WCML between Stafford and Crewe must be nearly at full capacity again?

[@antman09ful1]

Well as you can see David its still good around them times, thank you for watching. Regards Mike.

[@benGBRf]

Great video Mike. Surprisingly still have never filmed there. Been spotting with my Dad and son a few times there but never filmed. Crazy 🤪

[@antman09ful1]

You have surprised me Ben, I know you haven’t since I’ve known you but I assumed you had about four years ago. Well you know the score as you have watched the two evening from me from this year. Cheers.

[@SimonTog]

Great done video Mike :)

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks Sir Simon.

[@maimadha]

Great video"

[@antman09ful1]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidsnapebrcrosslane8782]

A well made video with plenty of freight documented and no bendy pendies.

[@antman09ful1]

Great comment as you know I don’t like them things you call pennies. ATB Mike.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video Mike. Stafford is a busy station for freights

[@antman09ful1]

Its very good Arnold.

[@peterkazmierczak7273]

If you posted the trains in chronological order, the freight at 09:10 was 4M88 Felixstowe - Ditton O'Connor.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes it was, I didn’t realise I never finished the working info on the video.

[@ttvvideos2050]

fantastic video i got the 50s

[@antman09ful1]

Oh great I will watch your footage TTV.

[@ttvvideos2050]

@@antman09ful1 thank you mike

[@SteveSmithRailways]

I shouldnt think there is anywhere on the network that is busier for freight than Stafford.

[@davidsnapebrcrosslane8782]

Peterborough

[@antman09ful1]

Well yes Steve Stafford is very good, but locally to me I have Water Orton and Tamworth which is good at times. Thanks for watching Steve. Mike.

[@martinreed9565]

I though Diesels where bad for our health, are that wye the class 86 and 87 operate in Hungary and Bulgaria.

[@antman09ful1]

We should use more electric locos, I would like our 86s and 87s back but you know how to use them. Thanks for watching.

[@johno4521]

Watch that platform edge.....

[@antman09ful1]

Always.

[@dapto234]

The train @ 14:37 the back wagons couldn't support much weight with only 1 axle each end.

[@antman09ful1]

Oh ok, thanks for watching.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

MAIL GONNA BE A BIT LATE...GREAT TOTON-CREWE CAPTURE..THEN POSTIE RETURNS !!!! DID IT DELIVER. ?? CERTAINLY A GOOD SELECION OF CONTAINERS. LOL i LIKE STAFFORD, USUALLY BUSY., ONLY ONCE HAS IT LET ME DOWN,,I DID SPOT YOUR ''DELIBERATE'' MISTAKE LOL

[@antman09ful1]

I do make a few mistakes Keith, not sure if you noticed the one I know in this video, someone always tells me if I cock up. All good fun.
