Trains at: March, Fen Line, 08/11/24

[@StarlifeStudios]

Great selection, glad you managed to get a good amount of freight. There aren’t many videos where you get more freight than passenger trains! 🙂

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much bud! First time filming here and it was tremendous although bloody cold haha.

[@dr18037]

The crossing goes down quite early for non-sropping trains is because one of the signals they need to clear before the train reaches it is all the way back about a good mile. And the one before that is a good 2 miles out into the countryside. They'll normally have the crossing locked and cleared about a minute before the train reaches the signal just to add buffer time incase anyone tries anything funny to delay the closure

[@Tornado922]

Ah right ok, thanks for the explanation it is greatly appreciated :)

Nice video at March Jarred. Good seeing GBRf 69 in the end and 170618 (pride liveried turbostar). Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend.

Awesome video buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy 👍 😊

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much Alan for your support!

[@breeze1472]

nice station very quaint

[@Tornado922]

I've been wanting to get a film done from here for quite a while now and I'm glad I've finally done it. I will definitely be coming back here for sure

[@MichaelsTransportationVehicles]

Great video mate! Here's a fact, some of those GBRf 66/3s were actually Class 77s when they were Operating abroad! Also, could I possibly get s shout out un the next video?

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I was actually aware that GBRF had acquired some of the 77s that were running around Europe, I do find it strange though that for the 66 to operate in Europe they have to meet certain specs and have features added that aren't required for use within the UK. I don't often do shoutouts but I'll see what I can do

[@tonyrobinson362]

Just finished watching most enjoyable, Question it's been a while since I've been spotting in the 70s good old days, Do you need a platform ticket? I'm old school.

[@Tornado922]

Thank you very much for watching this film, I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. In regards to your question it really does depend on where in the country you go, stations like this one you can just walk out onto the platform and start 'spotting' with no issues at all. Other stations you would need to find the station reception and sign in so that the staff know what you're doing and roughly where you are. But in saying that there are also some stations around the country that do still offer platform tickets aswell. Hope I didn't make that too confusing haha

[@maddisonkyne8746]

Hi I’m in Hinckley it’s a nice station with 2 platforms we do get quite a bit of steam though here have you ever visited ? Would be great to know if u ever do I will come down the station to say hello if my anxiety lets me

[@camotech1314]

Aww I'm sorry to hear about the anxiety you deal with, I really get hit hard with that as well. ❤️

[@maddisonkyne8746]

@@camotech1314 I have social anxiety and it’s seriously bad I find it hard to even be on a platform if it’s to busy my limit of people is 4 so offten I will be on the bridge I don’t like to make eye contact and advoid talking if I can

[@Tornado922]

@@maddisonkyne8746 Hello there, I'm sorry to hear that you're affected by your social anxiety to the extent that it can often limit you to heading out to certain places. Unfortunately I am unable to fully appreciate the struggles you go through as I don't suffer from that myself. Should I ever come down to Hinckley station I'll be sure to try and let you know

[@maddisonkyne8746]

@@Tornado922thank you u should vist here one time its a decent little station just bc my Anxity liments me ect dont worry about not having it I wouldn’t wish it on anyone its a horrible disorder to fight with daily

[@Yoshithegamer77]

Hi Tornado. When are you next filming at Welwyn North? also great video.

[@Tornado922]

Hello there, I can't say in al honesty as I have a lot of other stations that I would love to get covered this year, I would probably say it may be during the summer when I'm doing my rush hour films

[@Yoshithegamer77]

@@Tornado922 Alright.

[@Senselessdust]

Hi jarred, your videos have recently been in a different aspect ratio, any reason why?

[@Tornado922]

Hello there, this is due to the new camera that I am using

[@Owenjedi5000]

You made a mistake with the title of your video, March is not on the Fen Line. It's on the Ely-Peterborough Line.

[@tjwillow20]

Still the fen line

[@Owenjedi5000]

The Fen Line runs from Cambridge to Kings Lynn. The Ely-Peterborough Line runs from Ely to Peterborough, If March is on the Fen Line, How would trains get to Spalding. The abandoned platforms were used when trains had services going to Spalding.

[@tjwillow20]

​@@Owenjedi5000 close enough

Actually called the hereward line
