Manchester Piccadilly is such a busy station with lots of trains coming to and from various locations in the UK.

[@rashadbraithwaite2853]

This is one busy Station and a whole selection of trains, nice vid👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Rashad, its slightly busier on a weekday but still a nice variety, Thanks 😃

[@lightning8315]

I am soooo happy when you upload, mainly because you’re a trainspotter like no other! I love how you tell us where it left from and where it terminates!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you! I really try to make sure my content is amongst the highest of KZbin standards and I am always striving to improve my channel. Ever since my first video (Peterborough in 2012) I have included service information, so much so that it’s actually become a trademark of my channel. I’m really glad you like it 😃

[@giths19]

@@StarlifeStudios The MOST impressive part is you notes if the train is late, early or on time. The attention to detail is next level. 👏👏👏👏

[@jjyt5708]

I love the train details graphic!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks JJ 😃 I’m really proud of the professional look it provides.

[@stuartstirling870]

Love the big stations, always in for a good variety of action.

Amazing Video! I was trainspotting in north Berwick on this exact day haha.

[@ENC_Trainspotting]

Thanks again ENC! 👍

[@collectivelyimprovingtrans2460]

This is gonna be a really exciting video. But it is quite long. The first cool catch is the EMR train in the new livery

[@fergus.015]

Great video as always.

[@ejc7129]

[@romw9121]

Me too, also all of the Vossloh DE locomotives will leave this year very soon

[@uzmaullah1432]

I love that the 185 is in the thumbnail because that I think is my favourite DMU there is. And great variety at Piccadilly too

[@Martin_TrainSpotter]

Awesome! This is one busy station. 👍

[@maimadha]

Great video

[@Jp-uc5zr]

So much of these northern trains give me so much nostalgia since I got on them in 2017 and 2018😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢it gives so much memories😢😢

[@StarlifeStudios]

Indeed, there is quite a lot of variety here despite the pacers being gone! I'm glad this video gave you something to think about though 😃

[@uhegbu]

So 'Piccadilly' station in Manchester, terminus of the main line to London Euston. Among the coming and goings of this busy station is a train from Windermere. At Oxenholme Lake District, just after the station and the terminating platform, trains join the line. Watched a drivers cab view lately from Reading to Gatwick Airport (via the North Downs line). Starts in Great Western territory, then South Western including part Reading-Waterloo line and then later in the journey, part Brighton main line and of course Gatwick Airport is on the busy line.

Love the diversity!

Nice work

Manchester Piccadilly is the principal railway station in Manchester, England. Opened as Store Street in 1842, it was renamed Manchester London Road in 1847 and became Manchester Piccadilly in 1960. Located to the south-east of Manchester city centre, it hosts long-distance intercity and cross-country services to national destinations including London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Reading, Southampton and Bournemouth; regional services to destinations in Northern England including Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and York; and local commuter services around Greater Manchester. It is one of 19 major stations managed by Network Rail. The station has 14 platforms: 12 terminal and 2 through platforms (numbers 13 & 14). Piccadilly is also a major interchange with the Metrolink light rail system with two tram platforms in its undercroft. Piccadilly is the busiest station in the Manchester station group with over 30 million passenger entries and exits between April 2019 and March 2020 (the other major stations in Manchester are Oxford Road and Victoria). As of March 2020, it is the third-busiest station in the United Kingdom outside of London (after Birmingham New Street and Glasgow Central),[2] and is also the fourth-busiest interchange station outside London, with over 2 million passengers changing trains annually.[2] The station hosts services from six train operating companies. Between the late 1990s and early 2000s, Piccadilly station was refurbished, taking five years and costing £100 million (in 2002); it was the most expensive improvement on the UK rail network at the time.[3] Further improvements and expansion plans have been proposed. In December 2014, a Transport and Works Act application was submitted for the construction of two through platforms as part of the Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Oxford Road Capacity Scheme.[4][5] As of 2021, this application has not been approved by the incumbent government although Network Rail declared the Castlefield corridor through Manchester 'congested' in September 2019.[6][7][8] A new Manchester Piccadilly High Speed station is planned to be built on a viaduct parallel to the north side of the existing station.[9] The station will have 6 platforms (3 islands) for both terminating High Speed 2 trains from London and Birmingham as well as Northern Powerhouse Rail trains to Liverpool, Warrington, Huddersfield, Leeds and beyond. The present Piccadilly Metrolink stop is proposed to be relocated from ground-level below the existing station platforms to a new larger four-platform stop located underground below the high speed station. Provision for a second ground-level Metrolink stop at the eastern end of the high speed station to service future Metrolink extensions, to be called Piccadilly Central, also form part of the plans. A hybrid bill was laid in parliament on 24 January 2022 seeking powers to permit construction of the scheme.

If you record at Manchester Queen Street I'll pre order you a class 755 hornby set worth 600 quid! That is if I can afford it XD

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

Nice! I mostly like the Nova trains of TransPennine Express and CAF Civity trains of Northern. Because they are so nice with LED daylights.

[@mrtrainfan3797]

Nice one

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

That was epic mate. Beautiful filming work.

[@joshuastrainshub1452]

At Manchester Piccadilly in day and early night there’s always a train in sight

[@davidpanton3192]

I'm surprised there are still so many Class 150s knocking about as Scotland got rid of theirs years ago. Not very comfy as I remember, but no doubt they've been refitted and they do't look too bad.

[@StarlifeStudios]

They’re basically the new pacers, hated by most spotters/passengers and are extremely common now. They also fill in all the gaps of services which are not 195s or 158s and are generally pretty drab. Thanks for Watching David 👍🏻

[@Isaac2012YT]

Manchester picadilly a station what I call train heaven!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Oh yes! 😃

[@Kaysan-Hassan]

Nice

[@Tiger5_12]

I love this video. And btw. what camera are you using?

[@YorksLancsTransportHub]

Can you do some spotting at Rochdale, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and Halifax. They are all on the Calder Valley Line.

[@StarlifeStudios]

I will certainly look into it Pricel 😃

[@PikaPluff]

37:30 bird strike on the Avanti it looks like

[@Del-bm]

[@thatiwantchicjen8912]

Am I the only one who thinks transpennine trains that aren't the 802's?

[@rajeshsen4219]

Is there any train from Manchester Piccadilly to London victoria?

[@PikaPluff]

no. Euston handles the WCML (West Coast Mainline) which Manchester Piccadilly is on.

[@Xiaomallow694]

Yea even Euston lol

[@lmj9517]

why the Hell does manchester have *"Piccadilly"* in its name?

[@rastaman5105]

There,s a lot of dieseltrains there , that,s not my favorite , i like the EMU,s , Electric locomotives my favorite are the Pendolino,s and the Hitachi Azuma,s in electric mode !!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for your comment Peter, Manchester is the main hub for all North West and Greater Manchester trains so without full electrification of all routes, it will be impossible to move to all electric. As much as I also like electric trains, I’m also a big fan of the diesel engine grunt that units like the 185s have.
