I was on 103 at 4.20! Saw you at Whittlesea as we passed!!!

[@Desiro360]

Very good video,. Really enjoyed watching it. :)

[@Trainspotter11_]

Another fantastic video here! I really Enjoyed this :)

[@eastangliantrainspotting1426]

Really Great Video! I was on the 15:55 King's Lynn train at Ely after 4ish hours there.

[@geoffreystevens663]

Great stuff. There's a daily non-stop at from Gloucester to Stansted Airport. Who knew?!

[@andrewcowling5804]

I do as I live in Gloucester. I have a feeling it's not just Gloucester. I think it may start in Cardiff

[@wilcochris]

Andrew Cowling I believe it starts at Bristol Temple Meads about 6:15 ish. I thought it odd when the display board at SSD showed it coming from there. Wouldn’t want to do that journey

[@Ynysmydwr]

In the current timetable (Dec 2019 - May 2020) this is the 0624 (Mondays to Fridays) from Bristol Temple Meads (Birmingham New Street 0815/0822, Leicester 0911/0918, Stansted Airport 1141). I think by "non-stop", though, you mean "through connection", as this train makes 19 stops between Bristol and Stansted 🙂.

@@RichardChalklin ah OK thanks :)

[@railtourfan3366]

It's not broken it's getting dragged

[@catrinamoy8101]

Why was there diverts?

[@HDTransport]

Engineering work

[@EWSTrains]

I was there on P1 I was wearing a Blue Coat

[@trainlover7093]

Whoa you saw a broken down train that's so RARE

[@Delta004]

That's not the case. The diesel is dragging the electric because the diversionary route is not electrified.

[@ryanstransport7574]

@@Delta004 why is there overhead wires then that allow the 387's and 365's to run on?

[@alex_hay2779]

Ryan G because that is the route from kings cross that they take, the reason the 225s are dragged is because the Ely to Peterborough bit isn’t electrified and the systems around Cambridge are too complex to be having a 67 running around coupling and uncoupling from sets.

[@wilcochris]

alex_trains 27 Yep, agreed. Sadly they decided to stop investigating the possibility of electrification of the line between Peterborough and Ely
