Trains at: Dover Priory, SEML, 11/11/23 'Feat. 45596 Bahamas'

A cold but enjoyable time spent at Dover Priory on the South Eastern Mainline where we see services from South Eastern Railway and a rail tour from West Coast Railways.
Dover Priory was opened in 1861 and was for a time a temporary terminus for the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. In November of the same year the station was made into a through station after a tunnel was completed to connect the station to the western docks of the town of Dover where another station was created, the Dover Harbour Station.
The station was then modernised from 1930 to 1932.
In 1959 the station was electrified under the act of British Railways, this was done via the Chatham Railway. The line running up to Ramsgate and Deal was electrified in 1961 along with the section of line to Folkestone.
High Speed services started running into the station in 2009.
My next station will be Gatwick Airport on the Brighton Mainline.

[@ClaretBlueTrainspotter]

Will you be coming up to Birmingham to see Clun Castle doing the polar express runs?

[@Tornado922]

Sadly I wasn't able to

[@johnsumner1667]

Great to see the steam locomotive! Don’t forget, if you’re going up London you’re going “up” in the railway world. If not it’s down. I work for south eastern nice to have you on our patch

[@Tornado922]

I'll be sure to remember that bit of information! I've been wanting to come down onto the Southeastern network for quite some time now

Hi Tornado922. Great film at Dover Priory. Looking forward to watching the next film at Gatwick Airport. Kind regards, Chris.

[@StanoverModelRailway2020]

Nice video of your time spent at Dover Priory. Getting to see Bahamas was a nice bonus as well. I was the gentleman with the DSLR, who talked to you at the end, just after you finished filming and we had a quick chat and 'exchanged' our KZbin channel information. Best wishes. Mark.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much Mark, it was a pleasure meeting you that day

[@railwayron4053]

I was able to see the Bahamas train at Sheerness and it looked fantastic

[@Tornado922]

I wasn't expecting to see it so it was an added bonus for me

[@josh_43189]

[@robertstrainsnsw1596]

Great video at Dover I loved the steam train at the end

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I had a great time here

[@bobbrooks266]

Great video. Good to see your back. Used to use this station often before I had a car to walk and fish down Dover. Looking forward to seeing more. Regards to the family

[@Tornado922]

Thank you kindly, this was a great little station to come to

[@Brandonwillson3]

You got me in the video when the steam train was there. I was the one with the camera

[@Tornado922]

Hope you had a good time that day

[@Brandonwillson3]

@Tornado922 it was ok. Bit disappointing when Bahamers came in with its tail lights where still on. But it's still a great day at my local station

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

So a new Mainline series has returned at last with a bang courtesy of Bahamas! Gatwick Airport isn't on the SEML, so I have no idea why it's coming next as I'm sure the going to random stations ended until what will be the end of this particular series!

[@Tornado922]

The reason why I was doing Gatwick after this is because I had dropped my parents off at the airport and decided to do some filming whilst I was there

[@hamshackleton]

A real loco amidst the diesel or electric buses!

[@Tornado922]

Was a welcome sight for sure

[@tdm2642]

Can you do Nottingham?

[@Tornado922]

I will see if I can get it done sometime this year

[@ElectrostarEnthusiast]

Sick steam train👍 How do you tell if there are going to be steam trains running is there a website or something

[@Senselessdust]

[@Tornado922]

[@louisthetravelspotter]
