I love Manchester Victoria. Lots of good links from the North West to the North East. The actual station looks nice itself. Ive been to that station twice. Once recently and once in November 2023.
My wife and I are having a short break in Manchester and Liverpool late in October, which is all booked except for the outward journey (on Sun 29th Oct) as no cheap tickets are available yet. My guess, is that these will be available in a couple of weeks. Funnily enough, our homeward journey from Liverpool to Newcastle (Thurs Nov 2nd) was booked a few weeks ago, for the bargain price of about £29 for the two of us, with a two Together railcard. The only direct journey to Manchester Victoria is with TPE, but their reliability isn't the best. Coming home, if we are delayed an hour or even ore, no big deal, but a delay on the outward journey would be annoying, having only booked 2 nights in Manchester. Would you book with TPE and hope for the best, or consider another route, perhaps with a change at York ?
The train you said was goin to Chester on platform 2 before it arrived into Manchester Victoria the announcement was put out that the train was cancelled must be shortage of crew between Victoria n Chester
Hello there, you wouldn't have seen me at Doncaster on that date as I wasn't there, but should you see me out and about then by all means please do come over and say hello.
Once a station I always use to keep passing through whenever there was a day out going on and still around the time the pacers were still very active. I know it has changed a lot since then in regards to the Manchester trams they are labelled as ML 30xx the destinations are quite vast including The airport, Altrincham and Trafford Centre to the likes of Bury, Rochdale and Ashton-Under-Lyne. So you can tell they just about going anywhere really!
This is a great station to come to but it just needs a little bit more lighting on the through lines as it quite dark. The tram network around Manchester is quite amazing to see, I'm sure they have plans to extend it further
Hi Tornado922. Great film at Manchester Victoria. Regarding the very squeaky brakes throughout the film, all the 150s around the UK are now known to me as 'the WD40 trains' because of the brakes squeaking before they stop at stations. Looking forward to watching the next film at Crewe. Kind regards, Chris.
Mainy for the Liverpool-Manchester lines at the present moment but Stalybridge will be energised soon as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade, the 769 & 802s switch from Electric to Diesel at victoria.
Could also be to save money. When the price of electricity went up a couple of years back freightliner stopped using class 90s and swapped to class 66,s because it was cheaper to use diesel than electricity. Travelled from Exeter St Davids to Reading last week. Was surprised that when the unit 800311 left reading it was still on diesel and had no put the pantograph up to switch over to electric mode

150142’s vinyls is not Spotlog either

Given the overtime bans that have now been put into place curtesy of the unions that would seem like the most logical reason to me
Hi, I want to Doncaster on Saturday 8 July, I think I saw you I wanted to say hi but I was to scared to.

Thanks very much Chris, it seems almost every train in the UK has squeaky brakes now haha!
Manchester Victoria is the terminus of the Huddersfield Line and the Liverpool-Manchester Lines.
Northern also use Manchester Oxford Road to and from Liverpool lime street.
I’m guessing next video will be Manchester airport then Stockport
I had to change my plans around but I will be getting those stations covered at some stage this year
And also can you do Oxenholme Lake District before Carlisle please?
I will be doing that after I've been to Carlisle
Wouldn’t Victoria also technically be on the WCML?
Nope, different line entirely
Nice Video!
Also First
Thanks very much
Can you do bromley south 🚅🚄🚆🚆🚇🚊🚂🚈
I can look into it for you
Hello
Hello
Looks a lot like euston
How so?
Sir please do Hereford after Newcastle
I will get those stations done at some stage but you will have to be patient
Ok that must’ve been named recently 802215 Palace of Holyrood house is not on Spotlog
What's the use of these overhead wires? Every single train are running diesel, even the 802s! Seems like a waste to me...

It’s just because of it being at that end of the platform. Bi-mode trains depart westbound on electric towards Bolton and Liverpool.

@@darrylrichardson7940 That Ashville video proved how cheap diesel by rail is being red diesel plus can take lots of truck loads instead of just one
