Trains at: Hanwell, GWML, 08/09/18

A very enjoyable afternoon spent at Hanwell station on the Great Western Mainline where we see plenty of services from Great Western Railway, TFL Rail, Heathrow Express and a light engine move from DB Cargo UK.
Hanwell is one of the smaller stations located along this route and in terms of passenger numbers its also one of the quietest. Last year the station handled use over 300 thousand passengers. The station was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1838, but the station wasn't actually opened until december of that year. When the station was first opened it had the name Hanwell but was renamed to Hanwell and Elthorne in 1896 on April 1st. It retained this name until 1974 when the station was renamed back to Hanwell. The current station is in a very poor condition but has such been listed as a grade 2 listed building by English Heritage, the building itself is from 1875/1877 when it was rebuilt. The southern entrance to the station was closed in the middle half of the 1970's and wasn't opened again until 2014 when the local council and Transport For London funded the rebuilding of said entrance.
My next station is going to be West Ealing.

I wasn't expecting 332008 and 004 working together unless 332008 might come one of the sidings somewhere.

A great looking station, good balance of old and new. A proper home-like feel. Love the curve setup and some awesome double pass footage, all ladies were looking their best. Thanks for the quality fix! B.P.

[@Tornado922]

It's a great little station to come to, plenty of good views all round

[@Cactus732]

360205 isn’t a new livery, it’s the Heathrow express livery that it got for the terminal 4 shuttle.

[@HyperVenomProduction]

Cactus732 I think it was also used for Heathrow Express in that livery.

[@alfiesvideos5078]

Cactus732 it is the new livery

[@levichalcraft8702]

Alfie's Videos no it’s not that livery was used for the terminal 4 shuttle there is proof

Great little film with a good varsity of trains and liveries. You definitely need to get your eye in on the through trains to get the numbers

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much mate, if you're ever down that area it's well worth going to

Interestingly Enough The National rail route to Heathrow that Heathrow Express and TFL Rail's Heathrow service uses was first proposed as long ago as 1970 after years of outcries by the Airliners B.A and B.O.A.C because their Flights were delayed due to poor road approaches but The then London Transport's Piccadilly Line's extension from their Hounslow Terminus to Heathrow Terminals 1,2 and 3 then Extended to Terminal 4 beat British Rail's proposal for starters but because air passenger throughput was more than The Piccadilly Line could accommodate after the 1970's The National route was opened in 1998 by building a link to Heathrow Airport that diverts of The Windsor Line at Felton which is exactly what BR's Proposal was 28 years before. Just another Fun Fact for you Jarred.

[@Tornado922]

Well I can safely say once again that's something I never knew. I knew that the LU went to Heathrow but I had always thought that the national network had a connection before the LU went there. Turns out I was wrong, thanks very much for the information though

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

Love that new tfl rail livery on the heathrow terminal 4 services

[@agent_605]

Isn’t it just the Heathrow Express livery that was already on 360205? It gained it as it was used on the Terminal 4 shuttle most of the time

[@tommygaminginfinite4896]

I live in Hanwell

[@Tornado922]

ok

[@madtrainspottermacrae6744]

The 322s are gone so the 387 have replaced them

[@TrainclipsHD]

If your doing all the stations along the line between RDG & PAD you should try Royal Oak

[@Tornado922]

Sadly I didn't have enough time to go there. I filmed London Paddington once I left Ealing Broadway

[@chrisatrailway7573]

Nice video

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much

[@tsangpogorge]

One of the least used stations in Greater London.

[@Tornado922]

Just seems so strange that a station in London is so under used

[@tommygaminginfinite4896]

I was born in 2012 i’m sure Hanwell station who is here

[@Cpr1234]

3:49 not new livery. it is in its former Heathrow Express livery which it has had since 2010. In fact Train_PlaneHub recorded the first video of it that got onto KZbin

[@Tornado922]

Well I don't watch his channel and have no interest in his channel.

[@keiranclarke2955]

Cpr1234 Burn

[@matt-mu2xg]

Great video mate but OMG what am I doing I don't half look stupid lol

[@Tornado922]

Well I didn't want to say anything ;)

[@neilmarktaylor4386]

On your travels how often do you notice the same trains at different stations

[@Tornado922]

I see the same trains all the time if I'm filming 4/5 stations a day on the line

[@iaspex1289]

Lovely crossover at 3:00

[@Tornado922]

Couldn't have timed it better

[@dereksingh8883]

5:42 why was the man in the orange vest walking towards you?

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

He's the one who asked me why I didn't ask for permission to film.

[@Tornado922]

When he came up to me he just asked if I was ok and then carried on his duties

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

@@Tornado922 oh when I was there he asked me "Did I ask permission to film" I said no and he said "How long are you gonna be"?

[@maimadha]

Derek Singh you are awesome
