Rush Hour Trains at: Milton Keynes Central, 02/09/22

A great evening spent at Milton Keynes Central on the West Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from London Northwestern Railway, Avanti West Coast and freight from Freightliner, GBRF, Royal Mail, DB Cargo UK and a brief appearance from LSL.
The station was built in May 1982 so it really is one of the youngest stations on the West Coast Mainline, the station has seen a couple of redevelopments. Mostly this was throughout 2006 when platform 6 was introduced, this was to allow stopping express trains to use platform 5 in either direction. The other addition was to bring in a new bay platform with platform 2A. This was built for what extension of the Marston Vale Line, but subsequently this never happened and is now used mostly by Southern, although Southern now no longer serve Milton Keynes. The furthest north they travel on the West Coast Mainline is Hemel Hempstead. However this also could be used for the East - West Rail traffic at some stage depending on what rolling stock they decide to use.
I don't know if this will be my last rush hour film of the year because at the time of getting this film released I have yet to get another one filmed.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, photos and videos from all of my goings on throughout 2022.
You can also find me on Instagram through the name tornado922 where it isn't just rail content that I produce.

I only very recently found your channel, but honestly it's some of the best train spotting content out there. You have no idea how much it means to me as someone unable to go trainspotting regularly any more to see some of my favourite spots. Thank you!

[@Tornado922]

Thank you ever so much for watching some of the content that I produce, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I always try and get to different places around the UK to give everyo9ne the chance to see different stations and trains

[@mattymanb8797]

Innit

[@adamcobeysings]

This is one of my favourite stations

[@Tornado922]

It is a great station to come to

[@matzk0840]

You are by far my fav trainspotter from GB, i like it a lot that you give information about every single train passing by! Greetings from Germany :-)

[@Tornado922]

[@RickyNowis]

Spectacular footage. Lovin the InterCity Swallow liveried class 90 and MK3 sets, they look outstanding and brings back memories ;-)

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much bud! Always love to see something different running around!

[@Matsine]

Great video as always. Sad thing with the class 90. But it happens... Looking forward to the next film!

319217 when she was with Thameslink she was named Brighton

[@chriswhitaker4577]

Hi Tornado922. Great rush hour film at Milton Keynes Central. Loved all the tones throughout the film, as per the norm. Extra information for you: at 12:18, 325011 was in the middle of the Royal Mail service to Shieldmuir. If you can, can you do your next rush hour film at Birmingham New Street please? Looking forward to wherever you film from next. Kind regards, Chris.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much Chris. Next year I will try and get a rush hour film done from Birmingham if I get the chance to do so

[@chriswhitaker4577]

No problem, Tornado922. I'll look forward to a rush hour film at Birmingham New Street sometime next year then.

[@Westlondontransportguy7045]

my northamption train stopped on the fast track for some reason

[@Tornado922]

Sometimes they will have that happen, they run Northampton trains fast to Milton Keynes before crossing over and joining the slow line to Northampton

[@robertscott2649]

Brilliant channel, great quality video, lots of good information and entertaining commentary, keep up the great work 👍

[@Tornado922]

Thank you kindly :)

[@johnalford4786]

Another marvellous train spotting session. And fantastic commentary with the humour thrown in as always. Love it. I have a question, how can you tell on the 350 units, which ones are ex Trans Pennine?

[@chriswhitaker4577]

I'll give you an example: 350408 is one of the ex TransPennine Express 350s. They all start with '350 4..'. Hope this is helpful, John. Kind regards, Chris.

[@johnalford4786]

​@@chriswhitaker4577 Thanks Chris, that certainly does help. Kind regards. John

[@elljones6159]

I think you mean the 02/09/22 the 3rd is a Saturday! :)

[@Tornado922]

You spotted the deliberate error ;)

[@robog6898]

Why on earth have you gone back to the infuriating multiple adverts? Such a disruption to the video.

[@Tornado922]

At the time of releasing this I had selected adverts to show at the beginning and the end. Clearly KZbin reverted it back to showing adverts in the middle of the film which is something I also take a strong disliking to. Until I saw your comment I didn't know this had happened

[@dancohen9141]

I can only imagine how packed these trains were when Queen Elizabeth was laying in state

[@Tornado922]

I imagine they would have been full to capacity

[@John2Ward]

It is interesting to note that the Pendolinos put up just one pantograph, whereas the other EMU classes have both up in the case of two-sets trains, such as 319 and 350 classes.

[@Sarahbryson321]

When does the TPE 68 (i think it’s nova 3) come past northampton?

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

43:25 that was unlucky timing Jarred

[@Tornado922]

If it were running to time then it wouldn't have been an issue

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

390107 is Former Independence Day Resurgence

[@Tornado922]

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

319215 was named London when she was with Thameslink

Could you please play Train simulator because there's a new route called the Huddersfield Line Manchester - Leeds

[@Tornado922]

I won't be going back to TS anymore

[@TheRealDandyes1997]

What happen to class 350 115 hahahaha 😅

[@Tornado922]

It shall remain a mystery lol

[@danspotter8618]

Shame you got Bowled by the 350s

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

Did you regret being on the side you were on for the Intercity charter at the end of the day? You did more than make up for it throughout to be fair, so still a decent film all in all!

[@Tornado922]

I don't regret not being on that platform in all honesty. If the train had come through on time then I would have caught it without any issue, it was just unfortunate that it came through late when the LNWR service was just leaving

[@martinarrand4336]

The 350/1 the odd yellow panel on the front would have been damage in a shunting accident or a fatality so this would be a spare panel of a 350/2 my guess

[@Tornado922]

I'm wondering if that was the 250 that had the accident at the Watford Tunnel a few years ago

[@Laura-gj6mk]

Remember me 😊 great videos keep it up

[@Tornado922]

Thank you kindly

[@Senselessdust]

I always love going to Milton Keynes. It just means u get a bit of everything in terms of train varieties from freight to 319’s to 86’s on a Friday

[@Tornado922]

The WCML has always been great for variety :)

[@coyi51]

Cracking episode of rush hour trains with lots of variation, just a shame you got bowled at the wrong moment. Thank you.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, if it were running on time then it would have passed without any issue. Sadly you can't win them all

[@adamturner5188]

There is a great spot on the out skirts of Roade that my son and I like going too. Message me if you want me to share details.

[@Tornado922]

Hello there Adam, I live about 5 minutes away from Roade, what spot are you thinking of? I can only think of two possible places that give you good views of the line

[@adamturner5188]

Can't share pictures😔

[@adamturner5188]

Is next to the bridge for Ashton Road. I was trying to share a link the google maps, but I don't think I can add links to the chat. As you leave Road south on Ashton Road, next to the old Water Tower. You can either stand on the Road Barrier next to the bridge which give you a good view north of the bridge a south. Or you can go into the field next to it for a closer spot.

[@Tornado922]

@@adamturner5188 If you check out my film from Ashton that's one of the spots that I go to in order to get a good view of the line, I'm not sure if that would be any better than the spot you're talking about?

Mistake straight away! 'London' Northwestern Railway, not 'Lonfo'! At the time of the comment being posted, I was actually yet to watch the whole film but as soon as I spotted the mistake, I thought I would come in before anyone else does!

Great rush hour film at Milton Keynes central I like the LSL charter train

Thanks very much! It was a shame that the charter was running late but it was still nice to see either way

[@davidpilgrim5664]

Just wondering why the container trains have big gaps in them between containers?

[@chriswhitaker4577]

All I know is that not all freight trains are fully loaded, David. Quite a few of them have empty sections on their wagons.
