- An excellent evening spent at the busy station of Luton Airport Parkway on the Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from East Midlands Trains, Thameslink and plenty of flights from Ryanair, EasyJet, DHL, Wizz and an unknown airline.
This station was absolutely fantastic to come its so busy here with trains always coming and going along with the various airlines taking off from Luton Airport. You don't get overly amazing views here but you make do with what you get.
My next station is actually going to be Bletchley on the West Coast Mainline before I go to South Kenton.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, videos and photos from all of my goings on throughout 2017
At the risk of sounding like an addict. Thank-You, so much for the speed. Hahah!! B.P.
Haha, its quite alright I enjoy doing what I do
700038, 19:39 to Sutton via Mitcham Junction. Great video 😊
Thanks for letting me know :)
And finally!!! Many thanks for an entertaining video. You got quite excited with the aircraft. Some years back I remember standing right under a Concorde taking off from Manchester Airport and that was the most memorable thing I remember!
Your more than welcome, I'm glad you found the film entertaining :) I always try and make my films as upbeat as possible. I would've loved to have seen the concord flying in person instead of films on the internet
i was at LAP a few weeks back on 17th July, It was my first station on my 4 day trip this year, I actually flew into Luton that morning, thoroughly enjoyed watching as I always do, Hope the VP185 HSTs stay for a we while longer, I found that Loughborough and Kettering is where I got my 2 best screams from HSTs, keep up the good work mate, like from me as always, absolutely outstanding film
Thanks very much mate I'm glad you enjoyed watching this as always :) It's very much appreciated
Me: hears HST scream
Also me: (sarcastically) Music To My Ears!
Ok?
"Okay I heard a noise" 😂😂😂
Tornado922
Sees a thameslink
Then hears HST
Thameslink - am I a joke to you
Great vid!
Great video
Thanks very much
Wow! Loads of airplanes
Excellent video,mate. Lots of good action and planes taking off from the nearby airport. You mentioning the cancellation of the electrification schemes, When I herd the news I was gutted. Bi-mode trains are now on the way. Iv'e got nothing against bi-mode trains as they use overhead wires and switch to diesel mode when there is no wires. The government are using bi-mode as an excuse for binning these upgrades but the top reason is simply to save money to fund HS2 which costs at least £56 billion! Now with bi-modes coming the main operator I want to have bi-modes is Grand Central. Hull Trains are now ordering new Class 802 bi-modes to replace the Class 180s.
Thanks very much for saying so its greatly appreciated, it is a shame that they are scrapping the schemes because of HS2 but as you say there isn't anything wrong with Bi-Mode trains the functionality of them is brilliant
You're welcome, mate. Bi mode trains are still better and cheaper than pure diesels. I want Grand Central to order bi-modes(even I have no problem with Class 180s). HS2 will only benefit the wealthy that can afford the high fares. Do you believe HS2 is really that vital? HSUK has got alternative high speed rail plans that are far more sensibly planned, more environmental friendly and more cheaper to build.
Hull Trains have ordered bi-mode Class 802s to replace the diesel Class 180s. Currently Grand Central haven't place any orders for bi-modes but we'll see. If Grand Central does, the Class 180 adlelantes could be cascaded to Cross Country to replace the congested Class 170 turbostars that will do well for cascading. I might be wrong about Grand Central ordering bi-modes but who knows.
Not to worry, mate. The Adelantes are far from retirement. Like I said if Grand Central orders bi-modes the Class 180s could transfer to Cross Country or to East Midland Trains Norwich to Liverpool service to replace the 90 mph Class 158s that are becoming congested.
Hull Trains are getting bi-mode Class 802s in 2019 and their Class 180s are due to move to Grand Central as of now.
The Thameslink services usually can go from Bedford and Luton towards Sutton via Wimbledon or Mitcham Junction,Three Bridges,Brighton via Gatwick Airport and sometimes Sevenoaks and Orpington.
Mitcham Junction must of been the place that I couldnt make out
Great video and if you go to Heathrow Airport you see millions of aircrafts departing and arriving because they have a lot of Domestic and International flights also at Gatwick Airport you can see a lot of British Airways,Easyjet,Mostly Monarch Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle departing as well.
I would only try my hand at Plane spotting if I had a better knowledge of the airlines and their routes really. Maybe one day it will happen
Tornado922 Heathrow is your next airport for planes potting. This is your mission.
Thought you might be interested in Knowing that from Luton Airport, Wizzair mostly serve Eastern europe- Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, serbia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia etc, Ryanair serve Ireland (Dublin, Knock, Kerry, Shannon etc) but also smaller placers like Beziers (France), Kaunus (Lithuania) Bydgoszcz (Polamd), Easyjet serve Western Europe, France, Spain, germany, Holland, Portugal, Scotland and of course the wonderful Belfast
Ah right ok, well I can safely say that I never knew any of that. My knowledge of airports and airlines is so limited I really only know a handful of destinations served by the more bigger companies, thanks for letting me know I'm sure I can put that to greater use at a later date
i had a ball in the madness when i went to newcastle with my grandparents cos i was just out shopping for a christmas present and i arrived at the car park and all of a sudden the A1 Peppercorn class Tornado passed by Manors station as it departed from Newcastle on the Tyne-Tees Express
oh and there was a 66 freighliner going over the bridge as i finished going over the tyne bridge
Newcastle is always a brilliant station to go to at any time during the day, especially if you get Tornado coming through, its just the sheer volume of traffic that comes past the station along the people that walk amongst the station forecourt
Yes spoiled rotten again lol 5 video's waking up on a rainy sunday made my day thanks!!
Your more than welcome :)
Planes 'n' trains. What more could u wish 4!
I aim to please
Great video as always.
"TTPF".
Thanks very much mate I'm glad you enjoyed it
The electrification is supposed to be extended as far North as Corby. We can only hope that the HST fleet will remain for a good few years to come yet. Chiltern have managed to convert their MK3's to be compatible with modern standards so really fingers crossed the stop gap will be the main stay of these lines.
Well hopefully EMT will follow suit with the MK3 sets along with the HST's
*Temslink also you should do a monthly 'news' segment! was great hearing your (mostly implied) opinion on the rail industry,
everyone has been on my case about how I pronounce that company lol. Well I could certainly do monthly news sections in regards to the rail network. not to sure how I would start it off but I could certainly give it a crack
Ryanair only operate Boeing 737-800s, Easyjet only operate Airbus A319s and A320s but are getting larger A321 aircraft next year, Wizzair only operate A320s and A321s, DHL was an A300, the white aeroplane was an A320 on loan to Easyjet due to an aircraft shortage
Ah right I see, thanks ever so much for clearing that up for me :)
Also they did put out the new livery of Easyjet and I think Wizz Air can mostly go towards Budapest and Bucharest if I said that correctly and you want to know the departures and the arrivals of the Luton,Gatwick,Heathrow or any kinds of airports around the world then you can find the website for it but it can only work with Internet.
Yes there was a mixture of new and old livery on the EasyJet aircraft, as for the destinations of WizzAir I really wouldnt know
WizzAir go to lots of places in Poland too!
What's your favourite Great Northern class and why? Mine Is 365 because I live their engine sounds when slowing down and accelerating. I also love their happy smiling faces at the front lol
It would have to be the 321 units, they just have a sense of character about them which I cant get enough of
+Tornado922 nice opinion
The people on the bridge at 5:43 ?? Looks weirdly spooky the way they turn around :O
The DHL plane is either An Airbus A300 or a Boeing 777F
Luton Airport Parkway is the best Station on the Midland Mainline with the Thameslink 700s, EMT Meridians and HSTs and flights taking to the skies from Luton Airport. I'm surprised East Midlands Trains keeps some Valenta HSTs owing to their screams. Most HSTs are MTUs as part of the life-extension of the HSTs. I'm not concerned about the Media Scaremongering over Brexit. We're a Strong Nation. We don't need the European Union as the World is bigger than Brussels and we can look forward to the forthcoming US-UK Free Trade Deal.
Wrong, no EMT HST uses Valenta engines, they all have Paxman VP185s, very similar to the valenta, but not the same.
"No Smoking sir" i saw that dude behind you smoking
Great video! Just one quick question. What do you think your obsession would be if trains did not exist?
Thanks very much for saying so I'm glad you enjoyed this, thats a really good question. the answer to which would probably be motorsport if I'm honest
Your welcome.It was my pleasure.
As Class Dif EMR Arrives, Her 12-Yr-Old Bro Did the Same Thing 1:12 - 1:30
As The Plane Passes, Class 707 Departs 2:06
And Soon, Class 220 Did The Same 2:44
As 707 Class Departs, Another 707 Arrives 4:28
the valenta hst's can easily beat the emt hst by miles and the valenta hst scream and have lots of clag and nice thrash
At 21:25 the Class 700 was bound for Sutton via Mitcham Junction.
Righteo, thanks for letting me know
21:01 the thameslink train was sutton via mitcham junction
Thanks for letting me know
@@Tornado922 anytime.
Can you start your Airplane Spotting at stations such as Southampton Airport Parkway?
Planes aren't my thing really so I really wouldn't know what I'm talking about
Just out of interest - If you see a Ryanair aircraft it will definitely be a Boeing 737-800. It is the only aircraft they fly.
Righteo, thanks for letting me know
They actually have a single 737-700 (EI-SEV) it's mainly used as a training aircraft but is occasionally used as a standby aircraft and it's also available as a corporate jet. In the winter it's fitted with 60 business class seats and in the summer it's fitted with 149 standard Ryanair economy seats :-)
Mitcham Junction maybe
First plane was a EAT Leipzig (dhl) airbus A300-622 freighter
Thanks very much for clearing that up for me
No problem, great video as well :)
WizzAir A321
Airbus A319 Easyjet
That DHL plane is an A300
Thanks for letting me know
DHL Airbus A300, a bit small for a Boeing
Thanks for letting me know, my knowledge of aircraft is extremely limited
Boeing 737Max-8 TUI
Good video, but as a watford fan...
Dhl airbus a320
Couldn't they get a Long platform For HST to Leeds and manchester
The HST does fit in the station but only just, I think the rear power car just overhangs the end of the platform
Tames? *Tems* is how it's pronounced buddy ;)
Thank you sir ;)
Tornado922 no problem
It is Mitcham Junction which is on the Sutton line and also a Croydon Tramlink stop.
Tamez sounds better though 😁
what is a "by mode" train?
Airbus A320 Blank
its more like trains and planes at. lel XD
If you want to get technical ;)
Great video
Thanks very much
