Bedford is the definition of a perfect Trainspotting hotspot. Clapham Junction has competition now!
@dansmith46015 жыл бұрын
VirginVoyager Xl I would argue that it is far better than Clapham as they have more trains passing at a faster speed. East Midland Meridians are far better than Gatwick Express 387s!

Dan Smith true that, I would pick Bedford rather than Clapham. I’m just saying Bedford is becoming way better than Clapham.

It's a fantastic hotspot but take nothing from Clapham, I love it there!

Bedford is probably one of the best stations for spotting east midland trains coming from St Pancras because they have to tone the horn 😂

Agreed, it's a brilliant station!

Man those 700/1s (12 coaches) are so Godamn long😂 thinking about it, if you added 6/7/8 more coaches, I feel like it could be as long as a Eurostar....great video Kieran🔥

Is answer to the question the fact that Thameslink are the only ones to operate only one class of train, the 700?

Ara they going to extend the electrification for Thameslik to operate further routes???????
@Cactus7325 жыл бұрын
britostar class 270 pendolino they’re extending the electrification to Corby and Market Harborough but the new East Midlands Railway franchise will run those services using ex-Greater Anglia 360s and potentially new bi-modes.

Wait whaaaat!? Ive never knew that East Midlands trains chose class the 360 I thought they were going to use the class 387 instead 😋

For the question of the video, is it that Thameslink use both Overhead Wires and Third Rail. Although I think other train operating companies may do that

For the question of the video, it may not be the answer you are thinking of but Thameslink are the only operator to call at London Blackfriars

Thameslink has automatic operation from st pancras to blackfriars which is something no other train operating company does unless you are counting the tube.
@tstrains49835 жыл бұрын
@@southwesttrainspotting7636 Govia thameslink were the first to create automatic operation on the mainline not including the tube/DLR. I am not sure if any other TOC's have done it since.

The Tube counts with this so not the right answer.
