RUSH HOUR Trains at London Bridge (Southeastern) 24/03/2022

[@davidpanton3192]

Thameslink seems to be such a thing that it's hard to believe it hasn't always been there. For some reason it's never thought of (or referred to) as CrossRail1!

[@nathanw9770]

Yh it's pretty much the original Crossrail but because of it's branding no one thinks of it that way.

[@Alwayscommenting]

Yes it’s the north to south Elizabeth line

[@Bakerloo-Line-Fan]

I Love ❤️ Southeastern trains 👍😍

[@DPTrains]

Never get tired of seeing or hearing 465s, great video 👍🏻

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks David, the 465/2s will be back soon too 😃

[@KaydenTPS]

@@StarlifeStudios 465/0 and 1s Are better

[@BryanZhang-td6mw]

​@@KaydenTPS agreed they are the original metro class 465

[@spottymaxy1628]

nice weather

[@StarlifeStudios]

It was a nice day for March yes 😃

[@joshlimb3533]

Love it. I love train

[@StarlifeStudios]

Always busy at London Bridge 😃

[@duainesimpson274]

I’m proud to call myself a Londoner!! Seeing London Bridge today… Remembering those slam door trains class 423 that use to dominate the southeast and perhaps the entire country. Great video 💯💯💯

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Duaine, I wasn’t really into spotting during the final years of 421/423s but I’m sure it was incredible having the old and new working side by side. Glad you enjoyed 😃

[@MohidZ]

Wow I was just there yesterday to visit my relatives.

[@gbtrainspotting2084]

Stunning video especially in the nice sunny weather I really do love it

[@LordEverythingtrains]

Nice that you caught some 707s! I go here all the time, it's just 15 mins up the line fom my local Grove Park, the thameslink connection is also useful to head up to St Pancras

[@StarlifeStudios]

It’s a fantastic station with something always going on. The 707s are fairly poorly used at the moment and it isn’t going to improve quickly. I looked into Grove Park as a filming location but the views are limited for the shuttle 😟

[@LordEverythingtrains]

@@StarlifeStudios I would agree right now they're only used on the Cannon Street services when tbh they could be used better on longer Charing Cross trains could benefit from it (Though I shiver thinking about riding for an hour from Sevenoaks to London on those seats) As for Grove Park, I've found the best place is standing right at the Kent end of the middle platforms (P2 and P3), its not perfect but it provides an OK vantage for the Shuttle. If you want to catch Freight trains they usually go on the slow platforms (P4 and P5) so that might be better. I've tried both, key is to stand at the Kent end IMO

[@maimadha]

@@StarlifeStudios Grove Park still has good advantage points

A very busy station Great Vid!

2:30 Both trains the arrival in London Bridge station between with Thameslink Class 700 Desiro City and Southeastern Class 377 Electrostar which is between the platforms :D

[@faizul_thetrainspotter125]

Enjoyed it very much!

[@TommyTrainspotter47]

Very good video. I recommend Hanwell because it’s very good for filming and on a week day there is LOADS of freight trains and unique trains

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for the recommendation RailLife10, I’ll certainly look into it for fast GWR trains. I’d like to film the sleeper before the 57s go so that might be a good candidate 🤔 😃

[@171trains]

Yeah Hanwell is a great station, you'll get many 66s and 59s doing the aggregates trains

[@TommyTrainspotter47]

@@171trains Speaking of that, I’ve already seen a class 70,50,66,59,37,33,43 at Hanwell

[@TommyTrainspotter47]

You can check out my channel for unusual trains at Hanwell as well

[@richardpike1387]

Yes I agree with filming at Hanwell, it is a beautifully restored GWR station. You may want to have a look at Acton Mainline also for frieght traffic to/from the east end of Acton yard.

[@robmw5383]

I’ve been to London Bridge a couple of times!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Big fan of London Bridge although it’s worse for filming now than it was before the re-build! Thanks for watching Rob 😃

[@fergus.015]

For those that don't know London Bridge is the south end of Thameslink's 'The Core' they have 24 Thameslink trains running through it per hour, also the 700s run automatically through this section using ATO (Automatic Train Operation).

[@RandomUser53668]

12:14 Both trains in Thameslink Class 700 Desiro City that’s the between as Departing and Arrival in the platform which is Clockwise or Anti-clockwise or something :)

[@midnightwolf5256]

Haven't actually been to London Bridge since it was "re done" would love to at some point after seeing this

[@StarlifeStudios]

Its a completely different station now but I definately prefer the very open and airy layout. If your spotting/photo'ing, the views are a little worse overall but this was due to the extra platforms they added.

[@linesided]

Great video, nonstop action. Like Kings Cross, there is very little fleet variety these days.

[@theimperialist2686]

Nice railway video as always

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you very much Imperialist!

[@PK345Transport]

I like the class 465s

[@Andrewjg_89]

London Bridge station that has been redeveloped looks lot better than it was before. Brighter and can handle more extra trains and more extra passengers. And the rest of the Class 707s to be cascaded from SWR that will be used on Southeastern metro services around Southeast London.

[@RandomUser53668]

13:07 Look at those graffiti from the metal in Southeastern Class 375 Electrostar which is Departing in Ramsgate or something :)

[@音丨HAT丶土老鼠明睿]

i want to know that how do you get the correct information(such as train number) about the train.

[@FerrariSF90S]

Hi starlifestudios I have a quick question what app do you use for editing as in the titles the operator ,time ,headcode etc…

[@lankybuilder5747]

Is there a place you need to ask for permission to trainspot, I went once without knowing and staff didn't seem to worry, was i meant to go somewhere to ask for permission ( I was on the southern side) 😅

[@StarlifeStudios]

At London Bridge, I have found it to be one of the more safer spotting stations. I always recommend informing the staff of your presence and what you intend to do. I'm not sure about the Southern side as the last time I filmed there was 2015!

[@thetrainandbusspottertflgw3669]

What camera do u use

[@blocked4239]

I’m going trainspotting when I get home from holiday what station should I go to (I live in north west England btw so that sort of region)

[@StarlifeStudios]

All of the Manchester stations have their own speciality. Earlestown is good for variety, Liverpool Lime Street and Parkway are great. Runcorn is good for freight as well.

[@blocked4239]

@@StarlifeStudios the thing is i live in Liverpool and parkway is my local and I went Lime street last. Is Crewe good?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Crewe is great! If your going, Wednesday is the best day for locos but it depends on ad-hoc LSL and DRS movements.

Are the class 465/2 gone?

They are currently not leased by Southeastern but they should be making a return soon to counter the 377/5s leaving. I believe the first two 465/2 sets are at Doncaster Wabtec being re-activated ready for re-entry to service. Hope this answers your question.

[@Andrewjg_89]
