Trains at: Sandy, ECML, 09/07/22

A very enjoyable morning session spent at Sandy on the East Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from London Northeastern Railway, Thameslink, Grand Central, Hull Trains and freight from GBRF.
This was filmed from the New Zealand footbridge next to the Sandy industrial estate, always love coming here as you get amazing views of the line going north and south. Also helped that the weather was on my side right from the word go.
My next film will be from Ely on the Fen Line.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, videos and photos from all of my goings on throughout 2022.
You can also find me on Instagram through the name tornado922 where it isn't just rail related content that I produce

I love the humming of the tracks when the trains pass on the slow line. 🤩

Done that bridge many times. An old fella with a bike who introduced himself as Bob a few years ago I always shout "you alright Bob"? When I see him again. He never remembers me and scratches his head wondering who I am. Done it 3 times now. You should try Tempsford crossing on station road and Offord Cluny. There is a public foot crossing in the horse field to the church. Both pretty decent.

[@Tornado922]

It's a great spot to come to for sure, especially when the weather is on your side. I will have a look at those crossings at some stage :)

[@RailwayVideos.]

Very good view over the tracks there,I ll definitely have to give a go; thanks for sharing this ,have a wonderful Sunday

[@Tornado922]

I can definitely recommend this!

[@deancraig7361]

Where did you park whilst filming? I’m thinking of maybe going to this location for a few hours when the weather gets nicer?

[@anniciaboyce3885]

Great video question: when are you playing another game like trainz or robots Scr aka step ford county railway there isn't ant freight but there passenger trains note you require an app called robots or you could train spot in trainz SIM 2022

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I have already told you

[@theimperialist2686]

Great railway video as always, you had a good view of the trains I see.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much bud!

[@charlottelarimore9261]

How much LNER Azumas were running looks like alot but not much 225s

[@elljones6159]

Sadly the Flying scotsman Livery is on borrowed time! as is 91114 "Durham Cathederal" as due to the 225s not going further than York, they are to have the Scottish and north of york liverys removed and replaced by the new LNER livery all over :(

[@Tornado922]

I'm sure they will think of something

Wowzers, talk about getting close and personal with the traffic on the East Coast Mainline. Epic variety of trains speeding through :-)

[@DKS225]

I still remember watching your clips for the first time Jarred. And Sandy was that first about 3-4 years ago. Back when The ECML was still dominated by HST's, IC225's and Class 180 Adelante's as well as Class 317's and 365's. Now it's pretty much wall-to wall Azumas, Stormtroopers aka Class 700's, Class 180 Adelante's and Class 802 Paragon's with IC225's what's left of them becoming rare and confined to working Kings Cross-Leeds/York runs.

[@Tornado922]

The railways are definitely changing and sadly not really for the better it has to be said

[@LTravelsJourneys]

Hello great videos watching for years now can you do trains at Dalmuir Scotland??

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying my content! I will see what I can do at some stage in regards of getting some more films made in Scotland

Hi Tornado922. Great film at the New Zealand footbridge outside Sandy. Extra information for you: at 4:58, it was 180108 working the Grand Central Adelante service from Sunderland and at 5:55, it was 180114 working the Grand Central Adelante service to Sunderland. Nice seeing 91119 in its Intercity livery. Looking forward to next film at Ely. Kind regards, Chris.

[@Tornado922]

Thank you kindly Chris!

[@nottinghamtransportenthusi2784]

180108 'William Shakespeare' was the first 180 and 180104 'Kirkgate Calling' was the second 180.

where do you park for this location then ?

The road is just behind me by the industrial estate

[@milotrainenthusiast5213]

Hi jarred can’t wait for this video and what would you say is the best station on the ECML for filming ?

[@Tornado922]

Peterborough is probably up there

[@clairemarkham3485]

Another awesome video,do the freight trains come through Sandy too?

[@chriswhitaker4577]

Yes, they do because the freight train in the video would have gone through Sandy after passing the footbridge.

[@clairemarkham3485]

@@chriswhitaker4577 thank you for the info x

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

Very good video I loved that intercity livery train at the end nice catch on the gbrf freight train, can I ask where sandy is what stations is nearest to it.

[@chriswhitaker4577]

Hi Alex. The New Zealand footbridge is between Peterborough and Stevenage. The nearest stations to it are Sandy, which is 2 miles away, and St Neots, which is 8 miles away. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Chris.

[@thomasmoore842]

Just to let you know the flying Scot is being debranded cause 91s don’t do Scotland anymore but you should see the makeover they are getting amazing n also carriages being made over into current or close to LNER scheme

It will be shame to see that vinyl go, but the Intercity livery that they are getting looks incredible

Thanks very much, in regards to games returning to the channel I don't think it's something I will be doing anymore. I had started doing those videos because of the lockdown a few years ago and so needed to create some content to keep my channel going.
