Trains Through Spalding - July 2021

Another quiet month for traction variety on the Joint line so this is a shorter video than usual, however I hope you will find something of interest.

Maybe short, but great variety. Really nice to see the class20s still thrashing around the country. Too many 66s and units on today's railway. I love the old Diesels. Thanks for sharing. 👍😎

Thank you Ian, I agree with you

Brilliant video Roy, nice bit of variety and great outlook of the station

Thank you Ben

Always good to see your trains through Spalding videos. The station looks very nice now that the footbridge works have been completed and the flowers growing. Let's hope the public appreciate it and keep it that way. The Hogwarts and mural are nice too, but no painted tulips! Does platform 2 ever get any down passenger trains stop there rather than using platform 1?

[@royharrison4122]

The 1730 is booked to use platform 2, The problem is EMR can't find a way of switching the Lifts off remotely when there is no staff at the station.

@@royharrison4122 probably more a case of not wanting to spend any money to install the technology.

Nice selection Roy.

[@royharrison4122]

Thank You Bryan.

Thanks Roy very enjoyable, do you have any idea when the passengers are going to use platform 2 as it looks a fair bit of money spent and looks as if its workable right now

@@royharrison4122 unbelievable in this day of computers and technology when they can control signals and point miles away from the modern control centres

I did see a 170 today

[@royharrison4122]

Glad you saw one Owen.

[@owenmair9217]

When is the next 170 to go through spalding because I’ve come up to spalding to stay for 3 weeks and I would like to see it

[@royharrison4122]

Hi Owen, There is usually one on either the 11.27 or 12.34 or 13.26, to Peterboro' but they keep changing with 158s or 156s, so no guarantee, but you are bound to see one if you go to the Station .

Thanks Roy. 1. Oooh ! Tornado ! 2. I wish they could get rid of the pigeons in the stairwells !

[@royharrison4122]

They have tried by putting up netting where possible
