Rush Hour Trains at: London Kings Cross, ECML, 23/07/21

[@Robbins996]

Great vid as always. I’m going to kings cross for the first time in a few weeks. Can’t wait!

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I hope you have a great time when you go there

[@brianrobertson2853]

Yes agre great vid. I am writting from 7000 + fasl high up in the Andes in S. America. I have not travelled in the UK for decades. So much has changed since the days of steam when I was a kid train spotter. Keep up the good work I love it and TG for the internet.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. I had a great time getting it all put together that's for sure, the railways in the UK have certainly changed over the years and many would say that it hasn't changed for the better as we have lost a lot of former engine sheds and large sidings which makes an already very busy network even more crowded as storage space for trains in this country is getting very tight

[@AntonFanify]

Don't forget that there is a new service that will be operational in the autumn which will be known as East Coast Trains which will run 5 trains a day from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverly.

[@Tornado922]

It will be great to see another operator on the ECML, especially one that offers such low prices

Another quality video thanks.

Thanks very much :)

The line opposite used to go to moorgate on the widened lines. The return journey used to come out at platform 16 where the new building is behind you

[@debrascoot5283]

It would stop at York Road Station.

[@robertstrainsnsw1596]

Great rush hour film at London Kings Cross plenty of 800's and only 2 LNER 225 sets and 1 former Gatwick Express 387

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, Kings Cross is always a great station to come to for an evening period

[@journeysofjames1116]

You were standing in the spot where I stood to do a dim at King’s Cross made back in December 2019. Quite cool that, and nice video

[@Tornado922]

It's a great spot to stand at as you get a great view of all the traffic coming and going

[@rastaman5105]

Nice EMU trains there at Kings Cross station , greetings from Assen in the Netherlands and i like your railway video,s !!

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

[@Desiro360]

Cool video. Glad you got to see some of the Class 91's still in service. :)

[@Tornado922]

Always great to see the 91's still earning their keep even if they don't get the full run into Scotland anymore

[@Desiro360]

@@Tornado922 very true. It's great that the Class 91's are helping out on the Leeds services. :)

I think I found out there will be direct Kings Cross to Middlesbrough by 13th December 2021 by LNER.

[@Tornado922]

I heard something similar

[@alexstrains903]

Phwoarrrrrr. Love that simultaneous departure 🥰🤩

[@Tornado922]

Nothing better than that!

Finally i get to see lots of class 91's in one place like we used to.

[@oatwayfryandcolesadventure3176]

Hay just want to ask if you could do a trains at/rush hour at Plymouth as there aren't many pigeons it's more seagulls.

[@Tornado922]

I wouldn't be able to do a rush hour film from Plymouth but I could certainly do a standard film from there for you

[@oatwayfryandcolesadventure3176]

@@Tornado922 ok that would be a great idea

[@hulltrains8023]

I don't know why but great northern 387s would look good in light blue doors

[@Tornado922]

Yeah that would work

[@juvingeo2529]

Class 91 locomotive is still in operation only in LNER ?

[@raphaelnikolaus0486]

The construction next to KGX is for Google apparently (as I heard - from Nodrog and Blackpool Simon, with the latter being a LNER guard, since GNER days actually)

[@Tornado922]

Ah right ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me

Was the Harrogate service delayed or did the Edinburgh service at 7:25 leave at 1730 and not 1830?

I honestly can't remember

Anne loved interrupting you at the start 😂👍🏻

[@Tornado922]

I'm sure she was doing it deliberately haha

Has anyone seen any of the new 800 Lumo trains that work services from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverly.

@@Tornado922 It was amazing thanks! A class 91 gave a nice loud tone while departing!

[@maimadha]

Great video,

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much

[@peterg957]

I used to drive the 43's out of Kings X up the ECML... With 4500 hp under the bonnet ( 2250 hp ) one up front and one up the botty there was plenty of power on tap... Pulling out of the station on notch five with the Paxman Valenta turbo's screaming their little heads off and clouds of exhaust smoke ( sorry Greta Thunberg ) was something to behold with more excitement to enjoy... 125 mph here we come although they would top 148 mph... Now there is food for thought but as I did not fancy tea and biscuits with the Boss well need I say more...

[@SlowLineTrainspotting]

Great video, thumbnail shot is amazing!

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I really had to have that as the thumbnail that's for sure!

[@AntonFanify]

The terminating Hull trains service did came in from Hull but if it came in from Ramsbottom? Then I would be very confused.

[@Tornado922]

I offer confusion all the time haha

[@concofps]

I have a theory about that late running ECS with its coupling housing open. I THINK its because it was intended to be coupling with another 5 car unit, but was changed last minute for some reason. You can hear on the announcement for it that its says "...Leeds, where the train will divide...". Now I'm not a complete expert, but I do know you cant divide a 5 car Azuma unit 😂

[@kapage74]

I believe the building being built is that of Google, their new big UK HQ thingy

[@ampersand.]

Yes, I thought that too

[@alanmolyneux5957]

Google it !

[@Tornado922]

Seems to be the common suggestion so far

[@gerontius34]

Agree with you (and several others here) about 91111. What a beauty! 225 sets are occasionally working York/King's?

[@Tornado922]

Certainly one of the best liveries on any train in the UK that's for sure. I was always under the impression that the 225 sets were only working the London to Leeds services so I was very surprised to see a set coming in off a York service.

[@darthintroductions9315]

Cool 91111 came in Its my Favroiute 91 next to 91110 of course

[@Tornado922]

Both are excellent that's for sure

[@hornbyman4474]

Have you seen any sleeper trains

[@oesmeary6229]

When he said shut up at the start 😂

[@agent00x]

2:42 @Tornado, they're building Google's new London HQ, costs about a billion dollars. There are some videos about it online.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much for the information :)

[@kaushikghosh257]

Nice vedio so far. I am enjoying it. The screen though looks a bit unclear on my phone.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, that would be because the resolution wasn't at 1080p, for some reason KZbin is taking much longer to process the HD versions of my films at the moment

[@SGMiner21]

Went through Kings Cross on an Azuma earlier on today for the first time, fantastic station, not so fantastic trains but at least they're fast haha, another great rush hour vid, love these ones with busy schedules

[@Tornado922]

The 800's wouldn't be sop bad if the seating wasn't so hard, I can't understand why these companies can't put softer seating into their trains

[@ferryhilltrainspotter]

Isn't there a lner service to Sunderland at 8pm but it wasn't in the video

No apologies for adapting the lyrics to one of the best songs ever.

London Kings Cross looks so much better since the 3rd tunnel reopened to traffic to relieve the congestion and bottleneck on the East Coast Main Line.

We watchers can tell it is a bit breezy your microphone is making vigorous thundering noises! The new building looks like a multi-storey car-park, so it is probably going to be a luxury hotel! - - - I do hope that ALL these trains coming in to Kings X are terminating - otherwise there is going to be an awful mess to clear off the concourse! :-)

It's good to see the extra tunnel open now to allow more services to get into and out of the station. I don't think I would be able to ride a 700 for that long
