Trains at: Newcastle Central, ECML, 28/03/16

A fantastic morning spent at Newcastle Central on the East Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from VTEC, Northern Rail, First Transpennine Express, Cross Country and a couple of freight services from GBRF and DRS.
I've always enjoyed coming up to Newcastle because there is always something different to catch and today was no exception as you shall see towards the end of the film with a rather welcome surprise that I was most certainly not expecting to see.
My next film is from Edinburgh Waverley which again was fantastic to revisit.
If you have liked what you have seen here then please do like and subscribe, please feel free to leave a comment I do get back to them as and when I get the opportunity to, 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

[@goldenboat9106]

This reminded me of last year when you came here. Nice, nostalgia is fine in my book!

[@Tornado922]

I know what you mean this video is almost a carbon copy of last year with the obvious exception of the double class 68 locomotives

[@telemachus53]

It's now 5 years later, today's the 29th of September, and the Pacer has breathed his last not far from Cardiff. But wait! Not for long! What I prophesised in one of my comments a long time ago has happened. It's been nabbed by the Wensleydale Heritage line and people are queing up to go on it. Yes, it's become an attraction! The bumpy ride and the creaky springs and the quirky doors are drawing crowds! The BBC's already producing a programme about them and Peter the Pacer has a starring role.

Fantastic video!!! First Transpennine Express services from Newcastle would normally continue to Liverpool Lime Street but because of major works taking place at Manchester Victoria, trains only went as far as Manchester Piccadilly. Love the sounds of the class 68's in action, probably one of the best diesel locomotives there is :)

[@willmoffat1931]

have you heard the class 37 engine sound that's the best one.

[@neonballroom93]

+callum holland They're classic, I love the 37's. But I think when it comes to the modern era of diesel locomotives, the 68 can't be beaten!

[@willmoffat1931]

Yeah your right there but the 37's are very nice to drive.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I really enjoyed my time filming here, it always a fantastic station to film at. I can't recommend it enough :) the class 70 and 68 are the best sounding modern day diesels running

[@willmoffat1931]

***** I am based at Newcastle coz I am on VTEC Scottish route.

[@bens_supercars]

Very good video

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much

[@jamestaylor6760]

It must be said, 43317 and 43367 deltic 50 gave off AMAZING clag as they pulled away with the 10:00 VTEC service to London:))

[@fojtrains1283]

I love paises.

[@CelticGoals]

Surely it can't be a coincidence the first train on camera was a pacer, c'mon Jarred, admit your hidden love for them ;)

[@Tornado922]

I think they are just stalking me because of my hatred for them hahaha.

[@KTVTransport]

Another great video Jarred! Watched this the other day but forgot to comment. 😊

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much mate I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@MichaelAScott124]

[@Kwebbel48]

[@anthonylewin97]

[@keiranclarke2955]

[@thomasnorton2679]

Lovely fim matey, have ou seen the Brand new transpennine Express class 185 livery.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much :) I've seen pictures of it online but I'm yet to actually see it myself

[@will5440]

yesterday I saw a class 57 and 47 with Pullman coaches at worksop going to Carlisle

[@Tornado922]

I love seeing the pullman carriages, they do look smart

[@will5440]

+Tornado922 do you, I think it was my first time seeing Pullman coaches

[@Tornado922]

William Clarke the pullman cars are one of the best looking

[@will5440]

+Tornado922 thanks, I'm also going to London today until Saturday

[@samwaddingham8615]

I'm guessing you just cannot wait for those pacers to go

[@Tornado922]

I'll be the one destroying them lol

[@samwaddingham8615]

+Tornado922 I bet!

[@thegreateasterntrainspotte8760]

Nice video! Can you go to Ingatestone again?

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much :) one day I will go back there

[@thomasmahoney4991]

Nice. Great news about those pacers too. What trains will replace them? I guess sprinters.

[@samwaddingham8615]

nope theres old District line trains replacing them

[@thomasmahoney4991]

Sam Waddingham but the lines will need to be electrified won't they?

[@samwaddingham8615]

+Thomas Mahoney nope the Class 230 D-Train is to be run on Diesel power I beleive

[@thomasmahoney4991]

Sam Waddingham okay I'll take your word for it

[@samwaddingham8615]

+jo storie what are those?

[@KasabianFan44]

I heard that Arriva Trains Wales are keeping some of their Pacers...

[@Tornado922]

😑😑😑

[@keiranclarke2955]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR STUPID IDIOT 142S I HATE THEM!!!! BURRRRRRRRRNNNNNN INNNNNNN HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jhbur558]

Thanks :-)

[@DS_UKD]

Have you seen the new virgin Azuma train for the ECML ? I saw it when they did they revealing and it looks pretty nice! Great video as always man!

[@Tornado922]

Yeah I saw the unveiling of it at London Kings Cross, it looks absolutely incredible. I wasn't overly keen on it when I heard that it would be replacing the 125 and 225 sets but now that I have seen the 800 in the new livery I have grown rather fond of it

[@thecomplainingbanana6566]

could you please go to sheffield on the midland mainline

[@Tornado922]

One day yes

[@samwaddingham8615]

also the new Arriva Rail North livery has been revieled - on a PACER!

[@samwaddingham8615]

the unit you need to look out for is 144012

[@samwaddingham8615]

and It's roaming all over the network so be warned

[@Tornado922]

What I find funny about that is that Arriva even admit that the pacer is unpopular with their passengers and yet they decide that would be the first train to whack the new livery on............

[@samwaddingham8615]

+Tornado922 they've called it 144Evolution, the E-Pacer

[@Tornado922]

Sam Waddingham shoot me

[@justinhamer3729]

Hi,could you film at frinsbury park station and could you do a journey on one of the lines,thx

[@Tornado922]

Hello there, yes one day I will go to Finsbury Park and I will film a journey along the ECML from London Kings Cross

[@justinhamer3729]

Thank you

[@Tornado922]

Justin Hamer your welcome

[@jordanbarker5521]

After you have finished filming at Edinburgh why don't you think about trying at Glasgow Central

[@Tornado922]

I didn't have enough time during the day as I needed to get back to the Midlands by the early evening, but one day i will film at Glasgow

[@benwilson428]

Tornado please change the thumbnail its a PACER and today i was a Preston and since Northern rail new name is northern and on the info boards it said northern rail. Also i saw 3 class 66 for frightener coupled together with no wagons. I aslo saw penny the Pendalio.

[@benwilson428]

+jo storie Well i could not spell. But its a class 390

[@Tornado922]

hahahaha, I had no idea the thumbnail was a pacer. I'll get round to changing it eventually lol. The company is now just known as Northern. But I think the branding will be Arriva Rail North

[@jhbur558]

What was that extremely strange coach with the pantagraph at the back of the test train?

[@matthewavery850]

I think it's a car to test a pantograph on, but don't quote me on that! :D

[@tonybailey7037]

Probably used to check the overhead,

[@lightsoutyoutube6857]

I was in London on this day

[@mrderpington7345]

[@sctrains3687]

+Tornado922 ok so where you hoping to go that you haven't been before

[@Tornado922]

[@willmoffat1931]

[@Tornado922]

[@willmoffat1931]
