Trains at: West Drayton, GWML, 01/09/18

A very enjoyable afternoon spent at West Drayton on the Great Western Mainline where we see plenty of services from Great Western Railway.
West Drayton was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1838 when the route was opened by them. Although this isn't the original station site, the first station was built slightly to the West of the current station, however it only lasted for a year. Once the line to Staines was complete in 1834 the site was then move to its current location. From 1883 to 1885 the station was served by the District Railway as was the case with much of the line, but it was axed due to monetary funds.
There used to be 2 lines coming off from this station, there was the Staines Branch and the Uxbridge Branch that went to Uxbridge Vine Street. The latter of the two was subsequently closed to passenger traffic in 1962. But was left open to freight traffic until 1979. However there is still a section of the line left open to freight traffic, but its used once in a blue moon. Primarily it was used for the construction of Heathrow Terminal 5.
The station has gone through 3 name changes. It was opened as West Drayton, then renamed West Drayton and Yiewsley in 1895 and then renamed to West Drayton in 1974.
My next station is going to be Hayes and Harlington.

Loving your rants! Would I help him? No. Fantastic.

[@Tornado922]

Well if you're going to deliberately walk into me and then look back at me when you do it I'm just gonna say it how it is haha

[@Kwebbel48]

Oh my that kid and your reaction really was rolling of my couch laughing :) i certainly wanted to hear more but then there was a train!

[@Tornado922]

I could've quite happily gone into a full blown rant with that kid at the start haha, just some people amaze me with how they think that they can get away with things like that. But either way I really e3njoeyd my time here

[@FJx36]

this video still cracks me up with your rants

[@Tornado922]

a daily dose of rants is always needed haha

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Really good video, banter and trains in good amounts!!

[@Tornado922]

It's a great station to come to, even more so when you don't have kids trying to push past you

[@MegaLee32]

Fantastic video mate love it

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much for saying so I'm glad you enjoyed watching this

[@jonathanvandijk1818]

Great start to the video, including the 43. 2 epic rants, including the one about the young lad, and an all round awesome station. If it was me I would have given it to the lad and just seen him fall which would have been funny, but you kept your composure awesomely. Keep up the good work mate.

[@Tornado922]

Well it wasn't the way I had intended for the film to start really. The HST I thought was excellent then that young lad came along and thought he could be clever. He even looked back at me as he walked off expecting me to say something to him. People like that just aren't worth it. So instead of having a go at him on the station I would do it on the film haha

[@chrisatrailway7573]

Great video and i hate some people that don't know what they are doing

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much for saying so, I really enjoyed my time here even if that lad tried to be clever at the start

[@LNER_TRAINS22543]

Great video and when I make train videos people just barge into me and they don’t go around

[@Tornado922]

Some people are just rude and ignorant

[@neilmarktaylor4386]

Rudely interrupted at the start of your video by the HST

[@mrtransportguy8824]

Not really, it was a great intro

[@larabulley3959]

[@keiranclarke2955]

[@Tornado922]

It's just outright stupidity at times
