Trains at: Chelmsford - GEML - 29/5/19

Hello and welcome to this next video of 'trains at' Season 4 and this one is from Chelmsford located on the Great Eastern Mainline between Ingatestone and Hatfield Peveral.
Chelmsford is a really nice station to trainspot at on the GEML as the station is on an amazing curve and that offers up some great photos and video footage. The majority of trains stop at the station apart from one 'fast' Norwich - London diagram and freight service which there were luckily three of. There was the usual service from Liverpool Street to destinations such as Clacton, Ipswich, Braintree and Norwich but there was also a rare run of a double GA Class 317 from Ilford to Witham for some testing (I presume). Overall, the views, range of traction and frequency is fantastic and I would highly recommend this station for spotting.
Includes:

- Class 90's
- Class 82 DVT's
- Class 317's
- Class 321's
- Class 360's
Freightliner:

Amazing video like deserved

The Class 317's run once or twice every day from Liverpool Street - Witham and back in passenger service. They utilise platform 1 at Witham which only gets used by terminating services at Witham towards London acting as a passing loop for freight to give way to passenger services which happens often as well. Not sure why it's running at 2pm though because the 317 at Witham is booked to depart in the evening around 5pm. But as for the whole video a very well done, this is my local station too and I really enjoyed watching!

Practically Famous I’ve seen the odd 317 pop up as a 321 sub every now and again in addition to the booked peak time trains. There’s even been 317s operating 8-car services with 321s

There’s also an evening return to Colchester + they do Braintrees on Saturdays occasionally

[@jakegtr]

Also they do GEML runs on weekends if the line is partially closed north of London (eg when trains terminated at Marks Tey)

[@Cactus732]

@@jakegtr that too, those weekend blockades of the line trap 321 sets at various stabling locations and 317s generally cover diagrams normally allocated to those units.
