Trains at: West Byfleet, SWML, 14/09/19

West Byfleet was opened in 1887, nearly 49 years after the line had passed through the area. When the station was built it was done so with a very weird design feature. It was built with 3 platforms, not 4 or 2. The line had already been upgraded for quad running and at the time they had additional express services stopping at some of the smaller local stations, so they had a third platform built on the up fast line. Mind you it didn't last all that long, hell in the grand scheme of things it was never used, so in many respects it was just a waste of time which weirdly also gave the station a bit of charm.
My next station is Byfleet & New Haw.

Of all the trains i travelled on when i visited The U.K in 2010 and 2014 i liked the Class 455's the most. Inside and out Jarred. Only because Bookham where my Aunt Maureen lives it's served by Trains from Waterloo to Guildford via Epsom and The 455's were the sets that worked that route as well as Guildford via Cobham and Stoke D'abernon the two routes joined together at Effingham Junction as well as to Woking among other places.

[@Tornado922]

They are pleasant enough to travel on but they aren't the most sophisticated trains that they have on their network, hopefully the next time you visit the UK you'll get better trains to travel on

[@TrainsBoatsPlanes]

Nice video.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much

[@FJx36]

3:28 10 COACH 159s. You got some raritys in these videos

[@jonathanvandijk1818]

That particular set up was 2 159's and 2 158's.

Thanks very much

[@transportationuk7656]

The Class 456s seem to be rare these days. I know that Southern used to have some. I wish we could see them more.

[@Tornado922]

I haven't seen that class for a long old time, that weekend was the first time that year that I had seen them. They have a sense of character to them

[@ryanthornton9629]

The 159s going to Exeter St David's were 159107 159108 158885 and 158883 just incase anyone else missed them 3:29

[@FJx36]

1:02 thats the first time ive seen the 'old train' only have 4 coaches

[@Tornado922]

They've been running that way for a long old while now

Harvey Johnson I’m good and you?

[@scotlandtrainspotter4223]

3:33 the numbers were 159108 and 158885

[@Tornado922]

Thanks for the info

[@Jeagles]

Have those 455s been given new traction gear? They seem to whine like BRELbuilt converted 321s

[@Tornado922]

I wouldn't know to be honest, all I do know is they sound amazing

[@Jeagles]

Tornado922 believe it or not the GA 317s sound even better

[@pascalinemosolo1353]

Where's the 707 trains

[@FJx36]

They only appear on the Woking to London Waterloo via hounslow every weekend sometimes. But weekdays they go from Weybridge to London Waterloo via Hounslow

[@ukrailspotter21]

Is '159107 + 159108 + 158885 +158883'

[@Tornado922]

Thanks for that
