Trains at Cambridge (WAML, CL, IEL, FL, BL) - 16/09/2022

The 175th video of my train spotting adventures.

This video takes us to the UKs second big University city of Cambridge. A large 8-platform station sitting at the junction point of a number of railway lines, it plays host to many services, including long distance Cross Country services to/from Birmingham, London-bound Thameslink, Great Northern and Greater Anglia services, and the latter to many Anglian destinations.

East West Rail are expected to run services here in the future, once the re-modelled Varsity Line is back open (original line is covered by the Guided Busway nearby).

Fantastic and modern trains my friend, amazing video, I liked it, have a nice day and greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Fantastic video man! Cambridge is such a good place for watching trains! One tip I would give is that in future videos perhaps add a bit of text in the bottom left or right corner. This for example would explain where the service started, where it is terminating, the departure time of the service out of Cambridge or whichever station you’re at and lastly the operator that is running the service. Most of the best train spotter channels have this in their videos. I can thorough recommend going and having a look at Joe S - Train Productions.

Thank you very much! I've got a few ideas for additions to my videos/branding, gonna try things out come the new year.

Why was the class 745 there?

[@HST_Productions]

Seemed they were running services between London Liverpool Street and Cambridge with those sets at the time, or at least via Stansted. Not sure why.

What was their calling pattern? Like what stations did they stop at?
