- A very enjoyable but wet evening sesion spent at Peterborough on the East Coast Mainline where we see countless services from LNER, Thameslink, East Midlands Railway, Cross Country, Greater Anglia, Great Northern and Grand Central along with freight from Freightliner, GBRF and DB Cargo UK.
This wasn't the original station to be found at Peterborough. In 1845 Peterborough East was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway with their line running from Ely to Peterborough and the line running from Peterborough to Northampton which now forms part of the Nene Valleyn Railway heritage line. The line from Northampton to Peterborough was built by the London and Birmingham Railway. In 1846 there was another line built going from Syston to Peterborough. In 1862 the Eastern Counties Railway became a part of the Great Eastern Railway.
Two years later the Great Northern Railway arrived on the scene when the opened up their portion of the line going from Peterborough, Spalding, Boston and Lincoln, when the line was being constructed their trains from London were using the ECR station at Peterborough East but was decided fairly on that they would need their own station. This was officially opened in 1850, two years before Kings Cross was named as the official terminus of the East Coast Mainline.
Peterborough East was closed in 1966 and Peterborough North was renamed for a second time to Peterborough which is now the current station.
The station went through several stages of modernisation where the line was electrified to having more platforms built to deal with the ever increasing demand in traffic aswell as having holding lines for freight passing through the station.
My next rush hour film will be from Milton Keynes Central on the West Coast Mainline.

I wouldn't call myself a trainspotter but I do love trains. What i apper to be drawn to is this guy's amazing knowledge of what is going on around him. Great work.
That's very kind of you!
Fantastic video
Thank you kindly
Have to say that I've always been a fan of the 225s, especially when they were in GNER livery, but the repaint of the Swallow Intercity livery just suits them.
The 225s have a real sense of character about them
Good video. I love Peterborough, especially the NVR.
Thanks very much, I haven't been to the NVR for a few years now
Great railway video mate
Thanks very much
very good
Thanks very much
Always enjoy the Peterborough videos, so much traffic
Thanks very much, this is a great station to come to
I was there yesterday and it was mental. Was the first time I'd ever seen 3 class 66's pass through the station.
I'm passing through Peterborough on Tuesday and Thursday as I'm off to Ipswich to do some train spotting :)
I hope you had a great time
Such a British weathers day
Hi Tornado922. Great rush hour film at Peterborough. Looking forward to the next rush hour film at Milton Keynes Central. Kind regards, Chris.
Thank you kindly Chris
I love the sarcasm with the announcements
Great content and love it
Thanks very much!
Amazing video Jarred. And the wipers move different on trains in the rain.
Thanks very much, always loved to intermittent wipers on trains doing their own thing
nice video great work
Thank you kindly
You can do oxenholme Lake District rush hour after Milton Keynes central
no
Nice vid rip class 321 the farewell tour was yesterday
Thanks very much, it is a shame that the 321s have now been removed from service
Come for the stunning train at 12:33, stay for the brilliant work and commentary of an outstanding RUclipsr.
Loving your videos keep up the great work
I live near Peterborough! Have you ever been to RailWorld?
I haven't been there as of yet
In TSW 4 I did some train spotting at that exact location where you stood at , great spot for catching trains.
Another nice video👍
Thanks very much
When will you do oxenholme Lake District rush hour film
No
I didn't think Grand Central stopped at Peterborough?
They don't, only time they do is if the block ahead is occupied
Fantastic video Jarred 👍
Thanks very much
Loved it i seen 6 sets of class 91 in doncaster on wed 26th april
Very nice indeed! Sounds like a good day to me!
@@Tornado922 i was doing somersaults when i seen 91111 in my head
This video is up there as one of the best, fantastic mr T keep them coming!!!!
That's very kind of you to say!
Another great video from a top location.
Thank you kindly
Used to go to Peterborough as a kid to see the 91s and 43s HST roar into the station.
Still plenty of variety, a great station. Be intersing to see what they do to the station after the renovation they are planning
Yes, a total overhaul over the station and the surrounding area as well, there will be a west entrance for tickets and parking too.
@johnp-h8896 it's certainly long overdue. Peterborough is the first major stop on the ecml out of London.
And it being a growing city with a population of over a quater of a million people, its amazing how it seems to always be overlooked for such projects. Similar large growing towns such as Reading and Milton Keynes have had loads of money pumped in with their stations and surrounding areas. I'm glad Peterborough is getting the attention it deserves!
@@cannedham8630 Peterborough has suffered because of a distinct lack of investment, partly due to funds distributed around the country under the auspices of our governments and the EU, now this government had laid out its funding for cities like Peterborough it will benefit all that live in the city.
Great video as always Jarred. It's always great to see the 225 sets and even more so in that stunning Intercity livery. You know your stuff on the Railways in Britain and are always knowledgeable I'd add.
Thank you kindly Matthew that's very kind of you to say, greatly appreciated!
Always an enjoyable place to visit with plenty of variety, most enjoyable. Perhaps a new title, rush hour trains in the rain, hopefully the weather improves for future destinations.
This was my first time doing a rush hour film form Peterborough and I can safely say I wasn't disappointed, plenty of variety to be seen throughout. Just would have liked there to have been a few more freight trains passing through. I'm not loving that the weather seems to want to follow me everywhere haha
Brilliant video legend I was enjoying your videos and rush hour Is my favourite and other videos. East Coast main line rush hour and west coast main line rush hour at other stations
Thank you kindly
Great rush hour film at Peterborough like the DB 66 and the GBRF 66 can't wait to see your next rush hour film
Thank you kindly
14:47 yes iAgree the variety in traction is beautiful there.
Im at peterborough myself- on train sim world 4😂
Plenty of action going on here, bud... and I love the sound of the class 180 at the start lol.. great job 😊
Peterborough is a hive of activity, the 180 certainly woke me up when I arrived haha
Great vlog and the 225 sets look lovely
Thanks very much!
Btw the intercity 225 set is my favourite train in the world as they are fast and absolutely stunning. I wish they'd never get replaced on the ECML. If they do then im haply I've rode them when I can.
My close joint second is the class 180 adelantes, InterCity 125s and the Voyager/meridians. I also like the IETS like the Azumas and Lumos on the ECML.
@@keiranclarke2955 I think the 225 is a lot of peoples favourite on the ECML, now that the HST has been removed anyway
They are sensational trains.
Nice video, I happened to be the chap by the seats that got a look in the cab, didn't realise it was you down the end of the platform
Thank you kindly! You certainly got lucky to have a sneak peak inside the cab! I'm yet to be so privaledged haha. Hope you had a great time at Peterborough that evening
The 158s to Norwich do run as a 4 coach between Liverpool and Nottingham and then they devide at Nottingham the rear 2 terminates at Nottingham and front 2 coaches continue onwards to Norwich
The Liverpool to Norwich starts with 4 cars but splits at Nottingham for some reason.
It would make sense to have the whole journey done as a 4 car service
Been to Peterborough many times to train spot and it is an awesome place, specially for freight. Last time there i saw borh royal Scotsman locos .66743 and 66746😊
It is a great station to come to for sure, my first time here doing a rush hour film
I went to Peterborough today and filmed a video which is now on RUclips on George Greenfield and it’s an awesome station . I lost went there when the 800s were in a white livery and Class 180s ran the Hull trains services
I hope you had a great time
Mersk containers are so commonly rusty you'd think its part of their container livery!
I'm beginning to wonder if it is!
Squeaky Brake Time from the LNER Azuma 🚆
Do oxenholme Lake District rush hour film
That is never going to happen, Oxenholme Lake District is to far away to do a rush hour film. If I ever do cover that station it will be done as a standard film
@@Tornado922 Ok do a standard film over there then.pp
I love the banter between you and the announcement 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One day I will win!
Rush Hour? More like splash hour... hopefully Mother Nature looks down on you more favourably as the year goes on. Great video as always though, keep it up
Mother nature really has it out for me at the moment!
Trains heading North should be up but for some reason up on the railway is towards London? Good video.
I guess it depends on your point of view, up should be north as you quite rightly say. Down should be south
0:21 (And also Greater Anglia)
I didn't realise that I missed that at the time
It joins up with It's classmate 158at Nottingham buddy
Or 156. It's also not uncommon to see 2 coach trains in Liverpool when EMR is short of units.
Actually tornado when you go to Oxenholme you have to change at Crewe
ok
35:27 as Crowded house once sang: “everywhere you go. Always take the weather with you” in this case scenario you’re essentially taking the weather with you!
I must have something on me that means the rain just wants to follow me all over the country!
33:24 I’ll be brutally honest it’s a normal thing that happens with us trainspotters and when you’re one who makes use of a tripod it’s 5x worse. Everyone staring at you trying to work out what you’re doing. Occasionally a couple come up to ask but that’s all I can say really! We’ve all been there!
I don't think I've had a single day where I've been train spotting where I haven't either had someone stare into my soul or a member of staff asking what it is I'm doing
I was surprised at how many trains buzzed through Peterborough? I always thought it was like Reading and that most services stopped there!
To be fair Peterborough has great connections to different parts of the country with the various services that call here throughout the day. You'll find that more services will call here than actually pass through. The only companies that don't stop at Peterborough would be Grand Central, Lumo and Hull Trains
@@Tornado922was there not a grand central at the beginning of the video?
Well now you have buddy
That green shed at 29.20 isn't the REAL Evening Star - that's a 9F! 🙂 - - - Ah, you're always complaining, Jared, even though Ann Ouncer and Ray Ninagen are helping you! - - -
Would it be one of my films if I weren't complaining atleast once ;) That was my first time seeing that 66. Would be great to see the real Evening Star out and about though
Your next rush hour film after Milton Keynes Central will be Oxenholme Lake District.
No it won't
And Greater anglia
What is your favourite train on the WCML?
It would have to be the 390 for me
I DO hope and god for bid that LSL do take one of LNER's Intercity 225 sets when they EVENTUALLY do come out of service.
I will send them endless emails until they do it!
Just a quick ? What app is used to keep track of all the trains?
I use RealTimeTrains for my information
#savethe225
I completely agree
Your next normal trains at film after Manchester Piccadilly will be Carlisle
That's the plan
Does lumos still travel through here
what station is better: doncaster or peterborough
Yeah the 180's brakes are terrible!! 😂
Have you ever heard a train WITHOUT squeaky brakes? 🤔
I have heard one or two without squeaky brakes ;)
Dude the 700s are like a mile long
They do seem rather never-ending
10:00 Let's be honest it could have been worse like those years ago when the DFT made the stupidest mistake of forcing only 2 cars on that long route. Admitting to the mistake and restoring 4 cars thereafter, occasionally still happens depending on the availability
13:30 We'll have to see in the near future because Eversholt (who own the IC225s) are not that generous with preservation, unlike Angel and Porterbrook. They scrap everything quickly before any efforts can be made (hence no full sets in preservation just yet) I would like to see one for rail tours that would be nice but only time will tell 😂
The different companies are slowly but surely getting better at their stock allocation for different routes but it could be better. Cross Country are the worst offenders for this sort of thing, I will be very surprised if a 225 set isn't saved.
so, LNER are running a service from KX to Hull. wouldnt that put them in direct competition with Hull Trains, which i thought was a big no no in the rail industry
Wdym? Lumo and LNER both operate from Edinburgh to KX?
@@ConfusedOxygen I just heard from someone that TOCs in direct competition with each other wasnt allowed. Like how Avanti dont do an Edinburgh service down Trent Valley, because if they did it would take around 4.5 hours, similar to LNER, so they send it through Birmingham instead to stay out of competition
@@conallplatts5244 that wouldn’t make much sense though, LNER also go a Glasgow service (albeit I don’t know if that follows the same route) and other TOCs seem to follow routes to be put into competition with each other. I’ll have to do some research on it
@@ConfusedOxygen it might be that this person doesnt know what they are on about, or just misheard something. but the LNER service to Glasgow follows the LNER Edinburgh route up to Edinburgh, then goes down to Carstairs and into Glasgow down the WCML from Carstairs
@@conallplatts5244 wouldn’t that put them in competition with Avanti though? Also who’s ‘this person’
4:04, 7:01 10:11 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello tornado? Please reply to my comments
Maybe you should call your videos Rush Hour Rain At...
I think I might have to start doing that
You are mad though buddy but good
I do have my moments haha
