Trains at: Leamington Spa, CML, 21/10/17

[@DFandV]

Amazing and quite have admiration for people who know every train in detail. I know where to go now 😊

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

so it was 2 66s no 70s wow and i saw the empty car train at Didcot as well

[@Tornado922]

The car train you saw could have been a GBRF 66 in that case as there was one due to pass through Leamington Spa just after 12 in the afternoon. I'm hopeful that the next time I go out I manage to catch a 70

[@johnsingleton4907]

Another great video. Leamington Spa looks a grear station to spend some time at

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed this, I love coming to Leamington Spa it's always a great station to come to and it never disappoints because there is always something happening

[@matt-mu2xg]

great video and love the sarcasm just and at the end I liked the first ever 5 car 220 lol

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed the film and the 'humour' that came along with it haha

[@trainenthusiast94]

I went through there on the same day on a XC service to Basingstoke and came back through there from Reading also.

[@Tornado922]

I don't think I saw your train, unless you happen to know what time this was

[@trainenthusiast94]

Tornado922 7:30

[@Tornado922]

Ah right I wouldn't have seen you then

[@hannahfields6160]

[@CupOfAMuggie]

We can still keep in mind after all the times comming to leamington spa which im not sure of he has not spotted a single west midland train (not LNWR) too bad thats unlucky :(

[@vince3963]

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed this :)

[@blkpig6664]

[@blkpig6664]

[@Mildenhall_Planespotter]

Another great video and commentry

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much for saying so

[@Mildenhall_Planespotter]

Your welcome

[@Mildenhall_Planespotter]

Thank you, the picture was taken at Stevenage rail station

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

i think i saw both the voyagers so far too at Didcot rail centre as well they went zooming past the fence

[@Tornado922]

Yeah you'll find the XC services use the diversion line going around Didcot to go to Reading and then the rest of the country

[@dylanryangould7253]

brilliant video mate

[@Tornado922]

thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

i think that Freight uses Didcot east junction cause i think it passed us at Didcot railway Centre yesterday

[@Tornado922]

It'll go via Didcot and then along the GWML before branching off to head towards Southampton

[@tsangpogorge]

looking forward to seeing some GWR 800's in the near future!

[@Tornado922]

Well when I go to Oxford in a few weeks time there could be a very strong chance that I could see one

[@mason_h3849]

+Tornado922 nope the class 800 will go to oxford July 2018

[@Trainspotter11_]

Fantastic Video Their i really Enjoyed it :)

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@RickyNowis]

Nice video Tornado922 ☺

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much mate I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)

[@lrp_745]

When are you at Bicester North as I am there on Tuesday the 24th of october

[@Tornado922]

I can't confirm any dates as of yet, all I can say is that I will only be free on weekends

[@breeze1472]

Is leamington spa pencilled in for an upgrade? it looks a lovely place as i have commented b4 on another video but sure could do with a tarting up

[@Tornado922]

I haven't heard anything as of yet about the station getting a make over

[@agoogleuser8170]

It sure is very windy. I'm in Huntingdon and it's windy as hell

[@Tornado922]

I think the wind wouldn't have been so bad if the station was better protected from the elements. But I guess that just adds the charm to the place

[@agoogleuser8170]

Both

[@syedhoque8009]

Whoa! Storm Brian is wreaking havoc across the West Country. Freight goes to Southampton Docks from the North including Leeds and Eurocentral. CrossCountry will end service to Guildford which only sees 1 daily service. Weymouth is a possible future service for CrossCountry. They go as far as Bournemouth but could go to Weymouth.

[@Tornado922]

It's all down to track access rights, should XC want to extend their services they would need to contact the ORR for permission to run their trains across the section of the network

[@Owenjedi5000]

So tornado922 how do you feel when London midland is going to end on the 9th of December 2017 and then West Midlands trains will take over on the 10th of December 2017

[@Owenjedi5000]

So on the 10th of August 2017 London midland lost its rail franchise

[@Owenjedi5000]

I don't know because they bid for West Midlands trains to take over the West Midlands franchise

[@Owenjedi5000]

And in 2 years time virgin trains will end on the 31st of March 2019

[@Tornado922]

Well to be honest London Midland have done a great job in my eyes since they took over from Silverlink. They have introduced many more services with greater seats and comfort than the 321, although they brought in the 319's for the Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey branch which didn't really make much sense to me. But London Midland have really raised their game since they first came in and in the final few years they have been putting in the effort to maximise the opportunities that come out of the WCML. I can only hope that West Midlands Trains do a better job now and don't go changing the set up to much

[@thetrainman24]

I went through Lemington Spa that day haha!

[@Tornado922]

Had I of been there all day I probably would've seen you hahaha

[@agoogleuser8170]

I'm 15, when I'm older, I want to drive great northerns and hull trains. Do you know of you're allowed to drive what trains you want or do you have to drive all of them?

[@Tornado922]

From what I understand you will be given driver training on all trains depending on the company that you sign up to be with. So with Great northern you may very well end up working on 365/700/321/317 and 378 units depending on the work that have set up for you during the day

[@agoogleuser8170]

Thanks, but the 321 and 317s have moved to Greater Anglea? So I wouldn't have to drive them being part of Great Northern?

[@will5440]

What station is after Banbury on which mainline

[@will5440]

Keiran Clarke thanks

[@Tornado922]

Keiran Clarke if you have been paying attention to my series you will have known that I have already been to Warwick, the next station along the line going to London from Banbury will be Kings Sutton, if your going North towards Birmingham then the next station would be Leamington Spa

[@TrainSpotter-rd4hs]

Fantastic

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much

[@gbrfan6644]

Do you use Real Time Trains?

[@gbrfan6644]

Do you download it from the Google Play store?

[@gbrfan6644]

Real Time Trains is from the Internet.

[@gbrfan6644]

OK and thanks

[@lordoftnt102]

Dude just replied and answered his own question

[@Kwebbel48]

So late with my reaction but i don't know what happens with your video's it doesn't show me that you uploaded it. I thought today i will watch your channel myself cause you are still in my list to watch for sure. Probably it is youtube but will check your channel more often. Sorry. Great video and thanks for sharing have a great week

[@Tornado922]

That's ok :) I'm glad to hear that your still enjoying my films, next year I am looking at coming over to your neck of the woods to do some filming and some sightseeing. Hope you have a fantastic week :)

[@Kwebbel48]

That is very nice to hear that you are coming to my country and probably my city too ;) Do you have a date yet ? Almost same weather as your country so you don't have to prepair to much lol. Sun is shining now but it is still very windy. Have a great stay!

[@Tornado922]

It will be sometime next year but as to when that will be I'm not completely sure. However once I know what I will be doing I will definitely be letting you know. That way I'm hopeful we can get something organised and will have to chance to meet you which would be a great privilege on my part. Plus I haven't been to your city before so it would be really nice to see the sights and sounds. And obviously the local cuisine :D

[@Kwebbel48]

I live in Amsterdam Noord and almost outside of Amsterdam. Amsterdam North is over het IJ and is often called a town in the city. Love to get to meet you and you say us so someone will join you? I look forward to meeting you. Maybe my son will join me watching trains. If you want to know something ask me, but you know for all those years you can :)

[@Tornado922]

What I'm thinking is sometime during the later half of winter/early spring to come over. I'll most likely get a flight over and look for a reasonably priced hotel possibly in the centre of the city. It would just be me coming :) Once I know all of the details obviously I will let you know :)

[@matthewavery850]
