This is a complete trainspotting video! Seeing a railtour, 390156, a DRS 88 AND 221101! Possibly one of the best videos you've produced! Super excited for part 2 :D
A great start to the new year Jarred, looks so different than when I was there in July in 32 degrees heat, especially with the arrival of Avanti, looking forward to the next part, thumbs up from me as always mate
Thanks very much, I couldn't have asked for a better start to the year from all of the traffic that I caught. It should pave the way nicely for the rest of the year
Fantastic video yet again Stafford delivers. Having said that it was Gaff Central right from the off Lol! Surely you won't do that in part 2. Keep safe and take care, regards Gary.
Wow, not only is this your first video of the year. As I have a playlist of your entire series of Trains at: videos from the beginning, this was actually your 500th *episode* :)
A problem solving tactic, if the front train of the coupled set was the only one with defective windscreen, couldn't the rear set reattach (if in optimal performance conditions) and reverse to some points, then the points switch as such that it will couple with the Northampton-Crewe Service. Therefore the passenger density on the train will be suitable and not be standing room. Another strategy is that from the beginning, they got an 8 car set instead of a 4 car set. First the the train is delayed due to defective windscreen or equipment (that can be forgiven) but they bring a 4 car train when passengers are expecting it to be a 8 car all the way. (That is on the edge on unforgiving as there was no careful thought or planning to this delay) But then again, that is just my opinion. Feel free to share your views. :)
@@Tornado922 to me, I kind of think it was slightly stupid because the passengers would be squished like (the common simile for overcrowded trains) cattle!!
Hi Tornado l did enjoy this video but l have to say you did well to contain your focus,given the delays, with the annoying guy being like an echo especially when he knew you were filming. Something quite different to other voices not talking directly at you. Thank you for picking up on the flashing lights, in the building opposite as l am have. Epilepsy albeit drug controlled. Graham
Nice* - I really enjoyed it! but yeah can we still arrange that Leeds and York possibly Saturday and not the one Inbetween 14-17th Feb please :) I always enoy your videos that's why I subscribed 2 years ago
Thanks very much and thank you for staying with my channel for so long now it really does mean a huge amount to me. I'm sure we can get something sorted
Hi East Midlands Railway will be taking The VP185 Class 43 power cars out of Action soon don't know when they are being replaced bye some former London North Easton Railway Class 43s with the Mtu engines with automatic doors
I was at Stafford on the 3rd (check my channel if you wanna see the vid) and I saw quite some things I wasn't expecting, Can't wait for this year of Trains At:
So sad about your epilepsy comment at 16:35 I was born with it and am 69 years old in December 2020. Been married 42 years and my wife looks after me after my 37 years railway service and 13 years retirement.
I apologise if I have offended you in any way. That certainly wasn't my intention when I made that comment. At the time it was done in good taste or tongue in check if you pardon the expression. But I certainly don't take pleasure in insulting anybody that suffers with any form of illness. Especially epilepsy
A flat wheel is where the wear on a wheel isn't even, so instead of it being perfectly round you start getting flat areas of the wheel which causes that clunking noise
Avanti are replacing the voyagers and will be cascaded to Cross country which makes sense as routes i.e Bournemouth to Manchester route could do with extra trains. The replacements are (in a slightly gruntled and pessimistic voice) the 800s. They are good but the epicness HSTs, Adelantes, and 91s or any BREL train will never be replaced.
@@Tornado922Oh well. I just hope the Bi-mode IETs don't get jiggly with it on the WCML. GWR has already been criticized for its IETs ride quality being rough with worrying lateral movement at 100+mph.
My 5 year old loves trains but this video in particular is his favourite. I've lost count of how many times he has watched it.
3:54 " Now ive said that this film and the REST OF THIS YEAR WILL GO TO POT. " Now your dreams have come true :)

Brilliant banterous video as alway. I couldn't get enough of the commentary, it was brilliant. You got some nice shots as well
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this
Brilliant video to kick off the year!
Thanks very much
Superb video to kick off 2020. Well done. :)
Thanks very much :)

excellent video really like the comentry makes it a lot more interesting to know were trains are heading to
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed watching this
Very nice video and very enjoyable
Nice to see the railtour 👍
Thanks very much, I loved seeing that Railtour coming through
hi tornado :) i was at stafford last saturday and i saw 5 class 66s in 2 and a half hours, so that was cool...
p.s i have a video of last saturday
I will have to give it a look
verry cool video I enjoyed your trainspotting
Thank you kindly for saying so

It wouldn't be a Tornado922 film if it wasn't full of gaffs right from the outset haha
Wow, not only is this your first video of the year. As I have a playlist of your entire series of Trains at: videos from the beginning, this was actually your 500th *episode* :)
I didn't even realise that was my 500th film haha
Cannot wait until the 390s are in their full avanti west coast livery
It will be great when they are!

To someone somewhere running a 4 car train to take a full 8 car trains worth of passengers was a superb idea at the time
@@Tornado922 to me, I kind of think it was slightly stupid because the passengers would be squished like (the common simile for overcrowded trains) cattle!!
Finally!! The railtrekking of 2020 begins!!
Hope it will be good one!
@@Tornado922 I have faith in you!! : )
Great vid a nice start to the new year
thanks very much
Didn't expect a voyager to even have partial Avanti livery yet as I haven't seen any footage. Can't wait to see a voyager in the full Avanti livery
There won't be as they are to be replaced with new Hitachi trains
@@SprattyHeath I don't see the point in investing in class 800s as most of them will be 5 cars and probably can't tilt. So 🤷
That's Avanti Shitcoast for you
Brilliant video tornado 922 brilliant first video 2020
Thanks very much
very enjoyable video tornado👍
Thank you kindly!
"The rest of the year should go on without a hitch!" - Tornado922, January 2020.
I regret nothing ;)
I always like to see Stafford, been anxiously waiting all day. It also feels odd hearing avanti west coast
It's a great station to come to for the start of the year. There is always something good to see here, I've gotta get used to saying Avanti West Coast

Amazing video here Tornado922! I really enjoyed this :)
Thanks very much bud :)
Great video Tornado922
Thanks very much
FINALLY! Been waiting for years.
5th one to see the vid
You haven't' been waiting for years.........
@@Tornado922 you do it every year for the start which is great
That 350 that’s next to the faulty one is the Rescue Crewe service!
I'm guessing that all the voyagers for avanti west coast are going to cross country or East Midlands railway
My assumption is that they would go to Cross Country
Some are apparently going to a resurrected virgin trains
Proper start to the 2020 Campaign!
Thank you kindly!

12:34 How has that train (350 264) still retained it's old livery after the 2016 Watford Tunnel Landslip Derailment?
You're guess would be as good as mine
12:34
Really enjoyed the 350 desiro trains. Now where are the Alstom pendolino trains?
Do you mean the Avanti liveried Pendolinos?
The next train to arrive at platform 4 will be the 10:55 London Northwestern Railway service to London Euston
*cut footage*
And London Euston.
:P
Totally had that planned ;)
What do u think is better TSW or TS
Nice* - I really enjoyed it! but yeah can we still arrange that Leeds and York possibly Saturday and not the one Inbetween 14-17th Feb please :) I always enoy your videos that's why I subscribed 2 years ago

@@Tornado922 thanks :)
Great video. What was the highlight for you? The Avanti Liveries or the 67?
For me it would have to be seeing the Avanti Livery
25:18 that one was a good spot!
It certainly was!
Did that train fault cause all those delays or was there over problems also?
Could you film stations on the Portsmouth line?
I will have a think about it
Great start to the year
(I hate naked 350’s)
Thanks very much, I'm slowly getting used to them
Hi East Midlands Railway will be taking The VP185 Class 43 power cars out of Action soon don't know when they are being replaced bye some former London North Easton Railway Class 43s with the Mtu engines with automatic doors
I've known about that for a while now
So what series r u doing this year as in what line
SEML
more than for info
Stupid phone I hate when it does that I ment thanx for info
when is part 2 coming?
Finally after a month
I usually take a month off from filming at the start of the year
Ok
Not very swift in putting the new livery on their trains are they?
They never are really
Happy 2020
Likewise
Hi tornado 229
I was at Stafford on the 3rd (check my channel if you wanna see the vid) and I saw quite some things I wasn't expecting, Can't wait for this year of Trains At:
Well I hope you had a good time there, I will be sure to give it a look when I get the chance
@@Tornado922 Thank you very much, and yes I did have a good time, hope you did too!

its an edgy joke, Tornado is not taking the piss of people who have epilepsy smh
Hope you don’t mind me asking but what’s a flat wheel
A flat wheel is where the wear on a wheel isn't even, so instead of it being perfectly round you start getting flat areas of the wheel which causes that clunking noise
Tornado922 ah cheers thanks
Why aren’t avanti painting the voyagers
Avanti are replacing the voyagers and will be cascaded to Cross country which makes sense as routes i.e Bournemouth to Manchester route could do with extra trains. The replacements are (in a slightly gruntled and pessimistic voice) the 800s. They are good but the epicness HSTs, Adelantes, and 91s or any BREL train will never be replaced.
Nightelectricity Universe so that means 800s and 91s and that are going to replace voyagers
Your half right. It is purely 800s as what is advertised by Avanti (unless I'm wrong) and I don't what plans Avanti have with the 91s *AT ALL.*
Avanti will be running 390's and 800's. The 91's have no life with Avanti
@@Tornado922Oh well. I just hope the Bi-mode IETs don't get jiggly with it on the WCML. GWR has already been criticized for its IETs ride quality being rough with worrying lateral movement at 100+mph.
when are you next at temple meads
Probably not for a few months
@@Tornado922 could you come on September 5th
I'll think about it
1:49
First time and first video for the new Avanti West Coast Livery on the class 390 Pendolino
No its been captured by Manch planespotter few days ago lol...nice try :)
3:14 Avanti West Coast 225. Have a word dude, you not like IanPooleTrains 😂😂😂
That is on The Midland mainline
I know
Is it OK for me to screen record some of your pacer clips for a video and credit your channel name
Of course
Why are avant vogers is virgin livery
They have had the Virgin branding removed but they wont get a full Avanti livery as they will eventually get replaced by Hitachi units
And East Midlands Railway will be getting former Hull trains Class 180s it is just a rumour
They have already taken delivery of some of the fleet
Hello remember me any way my favorite train is the class70
Nice choice
Tornado922 the clag out of one of those at full chat ggggggsssss sound really good
Nive video
Thanks very much
Lol that was long freight train
It certainly was haha
