Trains at: Birmingham New Street, WCML, 05/02/22

[@RWL2012]

25:08 it's the extractor fans for the Diesel trains in the "underground" section, that push the exhaust fumes to the open ends of the platforms, however the emissions are still dangerously high.

The Class 390117 Named Blue Peter was my very very last Virgin Trains service i rode on from Milton Keynes Central to London Euston it's good to see it turn up in a another KZbin video.

A lot of people were very sad to see Virgin Trains go

I'm from Birmingham now living in Sleaford, seeing this makes me miss the big city life a bit but did a bit of it at the York station yesterday, quite a bit of variety there and saw the Vosslo York-Scarborough 'Cats' service for the first time, nice video there, thanks!

[@Tornado922]

York is always a great station to go to, especially with the vast canopy that covers the central part of the station. Really amplifies the noise!

[@danielbate13]

@@Tornado922 yes, Birmingham is less nice to visit really but I do actually miss seeing the Pendo's and Voyagers making their way in and out!

Great video my guy. New street kinda terrifies me as I’ve got lost there a fair few times over the years. But it’s nice to watch the usual mayhem from the comfort of my own home haha.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I always enjoy walking around the station as there is so much hustle and bustle haha

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

Another excellent video there sir! 323221 is the British Transport Police liveried 323, so there's something to remember for next time! I was finally able to catch a pair of 180's at long last, so some good news there! I also caught a couple of engineers trains from GBRF and Freightliner and DB Cargo UK top and tailing, so a win, win there and all of those along with all of the other services seen are to be included in a Trains At eventually! I'm sure the catch of the double headed 180's at the very least though will make you happy! Shame about Nottingham by the way, which was where I caught the trains incidentally on the day after you were originally supposed to be there until the late change of schedule. There's always next time though, so I shall keep my fingers crossed! I shall look forward to Tamworth next for the standard Trains At video but also for the rush hour film later on in the year as well and fingers crossed for freight in both!

[@Tornado922]

Thanks for the info it is greatly appreciated, sounds like you had a great time with all the freight that you saw!

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

@@Tornado922 I did! Sunday freight at Nottingham cam perhaps a rarity unless you look at the engineers trains!

[@markwilson8002]

It's really a shadow of what it was in the 70s & 80s...the platforms were covered with spotters on a Friday & Saturday, 50s, 47s 45s, 31s 87s 86s and many many more.. But it is what it is..

@@Tornado922 Don’t forget Piggy Railway Trains

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

I wonder if the remaining 350/2's still in the London Midland livery will be keeping it until their withdrawal as there's a decent chunk of them still in the old livery. The half done livery is or was supposed to represent the 350/2's for withdrawal and we would have probably expected them to be done before this year! Obviously this isn't the case as it is but I'm sure you won't complain about seeing London Midland liveried 350's! It is good to still see some of them running around in it to be fair! I do think it suits them after all!

[@Tornado922]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do retain their former London Midland livery

[@samfidler8802]

It was a bit windy on Saturday and also Sunday as well, so I'm expecting the annoying wind to feature in the next two films!

[@Tornado922]

The wind certainly made it's appearance on multiple occasions that's for sure

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

I've looked through the list of your overall films from Birmingham New Street to get the idea of the video lengths and the more recent one you spent longer at if I am not to be mistaken! I'm guessing there weren't too many Cross Country services on the day this time round though! Birmingham New Steet is certainly a fantastic station though that's for sure! Considering the fact that Birmingham Moor Street is nearby, perhaps you could imagine the Chiltern Railways 68's sounding superb! Well I'm sure we'll see some of them this year eventually!

[@Tornado922]

I think I spent a longer time here because of the lack of trains running, once the full timetable comes back into effect then my films will start getting to a more regular length to reflect that

[@ryanthornton9629]

323221 Is the BTP livery behind 323222 id know because I had those 2 to Lichfield Trent Valley

[@sarribel]

Its a great station conveniently located on the city centre. The fact that they do not cover up the tracks adjoining this creating wonderful open spaces puzzles me.

[@Tornado922]

I always think large stations such as this should be as close to the city centre as is physically possible to make life easier for so many people

Anne Jermy is the boss of Atos, the automated announcement system that uses her voice. I believe it is based in Nottingham, where the recordings are done, not just Anne herself but the other voices used across the British network like Roger, Ruth, Eryl/Glyn etc.

Those platform ends would have been full 30 years ago, with proper trains every few minutes coming in and out. BNS is the most depressing station in the country now
