Always good for the variety at New Street

[@RickyNowis]

It is, managed to get both sides of the station in this time. Totally worth it. I hope you don't mind me asking, did you catch a ride on 350404 (I think) it was from New Street?

Great video 👍 Noticed at 16:00 the rear lights on that 170 are showing ‘day’ rather than ‘tail’ 😂

[@RickyNowis]

Oooops, driver forgot to switch them off. Oh well, they would've been informed by the signal man :-)

[@Toasted3]

How do you collect and remember all the headcodes, routes and timings of each train? I was thinking about doing something similar in my videos

[@RickyNowis]

There are two websites: Real Time Trains and Open Train Times. These will show the working headcodes, starting and finishing destinations and if they are on time or late. Some will either provide train unit numbers on there as well :-)

@@RickyNowis You are welcome! 🙂😊

That is 1 busy station, you would need real-time trains to keep up with the movements. Good variety though. Plenty of Desiros. Thanks Ricky

[@RickyNowis]

Yep, indeed definitely needed it Tom. Also Open Train Times and Trasky are very useful. Thank you Tom :-)
