Trains at: Leamington Spa, CML, 09/03/16

A very cold, wet and in many ways disappointing visit to Leamington Spa on the Chiltern Mainline where we really don't see an awful lot of services, this was due to 2 reasons.
The first was due to a complete failure of the signalling system along most of the network and the second was due to flooding on the line between Leamington Spa and Banbury.
We do see a couple of services from Chiltern Railways, Cross Country and a couple of freight services from Freightliner and DB Schenker.
My next film is from Newcastle on the East Coast Mainline.
Thank you all very much for watching it is greatly appreciated, as ever if you have any trackside locations or stations that you would like to see filmed at then please do let me know and I shall endeavor to do my very best to getting around to doing them for you.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, photos and videos from all of my goings on throughout 2016

Can't wait for Edinburgh, such a busy station. Unlucky with the bad weather, and good luck for Newcastle, which sounds good also.

[@Tornado922]

I'm hoping the weather will hold out for me when I go there

[@type4016]

Brilliant video as always! Shame the conditions weren't Perfect, still some nice Trains. Just recently got a Freightliner Class 66 from Hornby :D

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I just wish the weather was better that day, have you got it in heavy haul livery or standard Freightliner Green?

[@type4016]

Standard Freighliner Green, i would have preffered the other one but got this one in a sale for 50 quid so in the end went for this one.

[@Tornado922]

Type 40 fair enough :)

Great video despite the horrible weather conditions and poor signalling issues. I had the same story when I was in Leamington Spa filming so mine was limited to only 12 minutes. Still though you did your best and that's all that counts here. 😊

[@Tornado922]

+KTV Videos Thanks very much, everything essentially conspired against me that day. the weather was absolutely horrid and trying to drive down to Leamington Spa in the morning was horrendous, a lot of the roads were flooded and the traffic was just a nightmare. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it

[@KTVTransport]

+Tornado922 Wow it definitely sounded worse than what I thought it was like. Hopefully if you visit here again you won't have a similar problem. ☺

I was at Clapham Junction on this day. The automatic announcement set that day by Network Rail was about the flooding, and I was standing there, it the bright sunlight on a bone dry platform wondering what rain was causing it. We had no rain from the 8th till yesterday (the 14th). I felt really bad for Chiltern's passengers, but also the company. £20 bet says 50% of the passengers moaned about the delays blaming the company. It's evident they were trying to get people where they needed to go, good on them

[@Tornado922]

It's amazing how the weather can affect different areas of the country, Chiltern are one of the best companies to try and ensure that passengers get to their respective destinations

[@HSTJames1]

Great vid as always mate

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much :)

[@goldenboat9106]

Could you do Basingstoke on the South Western Main Line?

[@Tornado922]

If I get the opportunity

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

Great video. shame about the delays and weather

[@Tornado922]

+somerset train spotting Thanks very much, the weather was irritating as were the delays

[@babakkhanbashi5820]

Ok then good luck and after when you have done the WCML please don't forget to go to Brighton on the BML.

[@Tornado922]

[@ScouseTrainspotter1999]

[@Tornado922]

+Scouse Trainspotter 1999 Thanks very much I was really looking forward to doing a 3 part film here but you can't odds the weather

[@ScouseTrainspotter1999]

+Tornado922 ye true but it could be worse

[@trainsoftheuk6660]

when can you do Orpington

[@maimadha]

Great video

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much

[@babakkhanbashi5820]

Great Video but don't worry when you go to Leamington Spa next time please try to make a longer video if there is no cancellations or delays and I hope it doesn't happen at Newcastle,Edinburgh or even around the country and shame the weather conditions just got worse but I hope the weather gets better soon right Tornado922.

[@Tornado922]

+Babak Khanbashi Thanks very much, the annoying thing was that the day after the weather was completely fine and a lot of the flood water had receded, hopefully everything will be running smoothly when I go to Newcastle and Edinburgh

[@simsfun9503]

can you do a London underground station and London waterloo

[@Tornado922]

At some point I will be doing London Waterloo, the London underground might be an issue

[@simsfun9503]

+Tornado922 what is the next station you will be doing

[@Tornado922]

josh derulo Newcastle Central

CORRECTIONS: Scotsman, going, Grimsby,

[@CelticGoals]

Great video as per, shame about the weather, Mother Nature sure does enjoy being a b***h sometimes One thing I don't understand is why do the class 68s always seem to have a class 82 on the back Is there any specific reason or do chiltern just not have enough 68s?

[@Tornado922]

The weather was a real shame that day but I tried to make the most of it, you'll find a lot of companies have push/pull sets such as Abellio Greater Anglia and back in the day Virgin Trains had loco hauled services

[@geoffglasgow7088]

try penzance

[@polovsgameing2200]

[@Tornado922]

I won't be able to go there for quite some time as I'm currently in the process of filming my WCML series. But I will go there one day
