Trains at: Stockport, WCML, 11/05/16

An excellent visit to Stockport on the West Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from Virgin Trains, East Midlands Trains, Cross Country, First Transpennine Express, Northern and Arriva Trains Wales.
This was my first time here and I have to say I was not disappointed, there was an excellent variety in traffic both diesel and electric and I will certainly be coming back here once the weather improves.
My next station is Manchester Piccadilly which will be filmed in 2 parts.
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

The pendolino has to be one of the best looking trains in Britain.

[@eastsussexlevelcrossingsan7853]

I think that and the 442 are the best looking :)

[@GamingRacerHD]

+Adam G Sure does =)

[@nathansrailwayphotography8125]

@@GamingRacerHD Eurostar is the best looking train

Super video thanks!

[@Tornado922]

your more than welcome :)

[@michaelbuxton8947]

Thanks for coming to Stockport and I am so glad you enjoyed your visit. There is indeed always plenty to see and of course the story goes that an 1840 Act of Parliament stated that all passenger trains must stop at the station. Sadly this has been shown to be an urban myth but it does have common currency in the town as an uproar demonstrated in 2007 when plans were made by Arriva Cross Country to reduce the number of Manchester to Birmingham trains stopping in Stockport by 50%!

[@Tornado922]

I really did enjoy my time here it was an excellent station to film at and one that I'm definitely going to be coming back to and hopefully under more favourable weather conditions :) I must admit I wasn't aware that Cross Country had reduced it's number of services or the act in parliament which orders all commuter trains to stop here. But thanks very much for the information

[@beckiemore559]

[@Jackjay-sz6tq]

Hi tornado wold you be able to do a episode down South at beidegwater it's on the GW manline and I used to live there so I wold be rilly cool you will see classes 221,125,153,158 and more u get a lot of draughts there aswell this is because there is fraught yard next to the stations thanks that wold make day thank u Jack simpson

[@Tornado922]

hello there, there is certainly no reason to suggest why I can't go there at some stage :) it would be great to see the variety in traffic that you've mentioned

[@DKS225]

I've seen Cleethorpes not in person but from Top Gear and it looks like a nice place also one of my friends on Facebook works for Cross Country he's an Edinburgh Based Driver but in the 80's and early 90's he was a fireman for South African Railways his name is Richard Niven and he likes driving HST's instead of Voyagers and one last thing do you know if Cross Country still operates The Dorset Scot or not if you can get back to me it would be greatly appreciated

[@Tornado922]

I've never seen anything of cleethorpes so I wouldn't have a clue what the area looks like or the station for that matter. That was interesting to read about that driver but in my opinion I would rather drive a HST over a voyager any day of the week. In response to your question I really wouldn't know if they do or don't. I wasn't even aware of it

[@britishairwaysfan6235]

I know that i have my wee joke about our respective fave trains. Believe me i do not mean anything by them. When are you going back to the east coast? Keep up the great work as usual. D.

[@Tornado922]

it's all good I know it's friendly :) I'm probably looking at going to Peterborough again after I've finished my WCML series

[@ScouseTrainspotter1999]

great video mate this is a great station are you doing the likes of levenshulme cheadle hulme and kidsgrove

[@Tornado922]

thanks very much mate :) I went to Wimslow, Kidsgrove and Stoke On Trent after this

[@ScouseTrainspotter1999]

Nice

[@scottjennings2060]

Are the trans pennine express trains electric or diesel?

[@Tornado922]

They have a mixture of both

[@andreha-cheng969]

Will you try and get the flying Scotsman?

[@Tornado922]

[@jordanbarker5521]

[@Tornado922]

[@will5440]

[@samwaddingham8615]
