- A windy but enjoyable time spent at the always busy station of Clapham Junction on the South Western Mainline and Brighton Mainline where we see plenty of services from South Western Railway, Southern, Gatwick Express, London Overground and freight from GBRF and DB Cargo UK
There's a rich and varied history to come with this station and even though there were lines passing through the site there wasn't a physical station here for a good few years. Before the railway reached Clapham the area was rural and oddly enough specialised in Lavender. Hence why you have Lavender Hill in the area. In 1838 the London and Southampton Railway became the London and South Western Railway which then proceeded to open a line from Nine Elms to Woking. That was the first railway line through the area. The next line to operate was the line from Nine Elms to Richmond which opened in 1846. Two years later Waterloo was opened which then made Nine Elms redundant. In 1860 the line to Victoria was opened and three years later Clapham Junction was opened and was done as a joint venture between the London and South Western Railway, the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and the West London Extension Railway as an interchange for all of their lines.
When the station was built much of the Battersea area was heavily industrial and the Clapham area was fashionable (insert joke here) this actually worked in the railway companies favour as they all wanted to try and get the more upper and middle class people from the surrounding areas to come to Clapham. Which did work for a while, unfortunately there was a negative that was to come with all this. Because of the fact that the Battersea area was heavily industrial it meant that a lot of under privileged people at the time came into the area for work. Because of this the local population sky rocketed and went through the roof. In 1840 the local population was just touching 6000 and by the time 1910 decided to say hello the population was knocking on the door of 168,000. The area was full of slums which was eventually replaced with council housing by 1975.
Thank you everyone for choosing to watch my content throughout the year it really does mean a huge amount to me, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
Loved this film at Clapham junction I just love Clapham for how frequent the trains come through👍🏻
14:26 British Airways, Airbus, long body, two engines spelling an Airbus A350-1000. 15:54 Boeing, short stubby body is a 787-8 Dreamliner. If you have an aircraft above you but you can’t identify it just give me a tag and I’ll help as much as I can. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year and I’m looking forward to watching many more of your films whether they be trains at, trains and planes at or trains, planes and geese at 😂. May 2024 be a good one Jarred!
Great video I wonder why No Gatwick express trains where running?
Southern retired the 455s in May 2022, however, the South Western 455s continue to bring in revenue because the 701s still aren't in service
I was under the impression that South Western were retiring their 455 units around the same time that southern were
Maybe Next Year You Should Film At Willesden Junction Footbridge. There Is A View Of The West Coast Main Line

A valiant effort, shame about the wind. Last time we were at Clapham we found it overwhelming impossible to get the numbers of all the trains.
The weather was really against me for the last few videos which was a massive shame

Merry Christmas to you

I saw 66095 last week at Hoo junction doing some shunting 🤩
It's getting around!
There is something in the different brands and companies of trains in UK compare to Germany, that give my trains enthusiasm different and extra meaning.
There is such a wide amount of variety to be seen!
A rather late overnight video upload? That hardly ever happens but better late than never to round off the year! Most 707's were withdrawn by the time the video was released and almost all 444's and 450's were repainted by then as well, likely hence no white units featuring in the video, not even any 158's and/or 159's considering that some of them are still white... somehow!
RUclips took over 4 hours to get this processed otherwise it would have been out around 9PM which is what I was originally hoping for
@@Tornado922 Oh right. Better late than never I guess!
I would say that you are the best viewing on Xmas day. Merry Xmas and a happy new year Jarred.
That's very kind of you to say! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great new year
