@Kyron Smith lol!! Except your half right. It's actually the Stadlers older brother, the 745s that actually do that length of journey. Before that was the 90s hauling the Mk3s
I rode on two of those 755 Staedler FLIRTs (on this very line in fact and I passed through this very station) from Cambridge to Norwich and I must say I was really impressed with them! Very smooth, quiet and high-tech (although one of the toilets was out of order)!
Nice to see 387105 with the Red Gatwick Express brand. She left Gatwick Express and join on Great Northern. I can't wait for Peterborough station, are you doing the Rush Hour trains at Peterborough?
Very good video despite you not knowing your Liverpool Lime Street (my local main station) from your London Liverpool Street! Stay safe and hopefully you can get out again soon to make more of your entertaining videos.
Thanks very much, truth be told I didn't even realise that I had made that mistake until I had started looking through the comments section a few days later haha
Oh bluddy hell man if I knew you were there I'd met you had a good little chat with you I pass Ely 4times a week I use btween Brandon and Cambridge for college would've been nice to have met you from the a distance obviously well done sir.
Do cross country trains come from Birmingham New Street to Ely then what train goes from Ely to Norwich or can you go from Ely to great Yarmouth ? Thanks for your help Elvis Presley
Thanks very much, I'm not to sure what happened in the end. All I know is the unit travelled under it's own power once I had finished filming. I will give both a look at some stage
Love Ely. Enjoyed watching this back. Great spot for variety - I can remember visiting her to pick up my dad’s cousin every Christmas when she would come down to visit from up north! How were the station staff here? Did you have to apply for/get permission to shoot here first?
How come the anglia new units 755 and 745"s dont have the full class number on the side near the front eg- 755 330 in black number so us spotters can see its a class 755 or 745 or 740, instead of these black triangles and three numbers on front !!!!
Hi Stewart, the 755 class are always BMU3 and BMU4. The 745 are always 12 car EMU (Airport or Intercity internal layout). There is no Stadler class 740 on the Greater Anglia network.
To be honest, I was expecting Ely to be... well, a bigger station. Is there a different Ely station on the GEML? Edit: I am making this comment before watching the full video, please don't kill me.
@@Sherpiddy Maybe this is just my ignorant Cumbrian brain talking, but I was expecting some of the intercity GA services. I think I might have to look at a rail map of the region.
@@josephharrison8354 I think Ely would do well to have some long distance intercity services certainly, but for a junction station it is certainly very busy!
@@Tornado922 Oh, aye, there was a good mix here. To be honest, I just assumed one of the main urban centres of Norfolk would be serviced by the 745s/720s.
Trains mostly feature white these days unlike the old days of liveries like Network Southeast or INTERCITY. They show the dirt so easily, shame. Stagecoach Livery on what was South West Trains was so colourful, but now South Western Railway uses mostly grey. Oh well as long as London Buses don't turn from Red to white or grey lol. Buses still seem more colourful these days then trains.
Don't see how anyone can like the look of those Stadler things. I think they're hideous, those great gaping maws around the coupler really seal the deal.
There could be a very real possibility I had a bit of a moment getting the origin point of a particular EMR service wrong ;)
Easily done.
I don't think EMR go to Liverpool Street 😂
Yes there could.... Unless EMR secretly started the service ;)
@@B10Mand390Morgan East Greater Midlands Anglia Railway lol
Honestly you are my favourite trainspotter who makes videos
That's true
Same
@@reecelucasfilms he is the reason I started trainspotting!!
@@nightelectricityuniverse7349 yea same
That's very kind of you all to say!!
3:44. Lol!! Doesn't greater Anglia do that job? Haha!!
"EMR service from London Liverpool Street to Norwich"
yeah. that really confused me when he said that. did that service come from liverpool lime street
@Kyron Smith lol!! Except your half right. It's actually the Stadlers older brother, the 745s that actually do that length of journey. Before that was the 90s hauling the Mk3s
@Kyron Smith it's a dam shame!!
He mistakenly said London Liv, it would have come from Norwich or Peterborough
@@jefffranklin4894 it's actually Liverpool Lime Street. I understand though. I knew it, yet I commented to be hilarious.
I rode on two of those 755 Staedler FLIRTs (on this very line in fact and I passed through this very station) from Cambridge to Norwich and I must say I was really impressed with them! Very smooth, quiet and high-tech (although one of the toilets was out of order)!
I travelled on the 745 variation a few weeks ago and I was deeply impressed with how comfortable I found the journey and how quite the train was
10:57. I was on that 12.36 service to Norwich. I was sitting right at the back of that train 😂
Should have waved haha!
I just love the Electrostars and Turbostars and nothing will change that. Nice video 👍
Class 60 has entered the chat
Thanks very much
@@Tornado922 you're welcome
@@southamptontrainspotter553 😂😂
Excellent video as always Tornado922, great range of trains running through.
Thanks very much :)
Nice to see 387105 with the Red Gatwick Express brand. She left Gatwick Express and join on Great Northern. I can't wait for Peterborough station, are you doing the Rush Hour trains at Peterborough?
Oh, it's the Christmas special from Brighton. Lol!!
I also can’t wait for trains at Peterborough. I did a video there: ruclips.net/video/fwcYp4orWac/видео.html
@@aviationtrainsfc1 good for you. I think he filmed like 5 times at Peterborough station
@@ukrailspotter21 Peterborough wasn't a rush hour film
@@Tornado922 oh
Did the train 158 856 finally get going mate after a few attempts
we love your videy
Can you do Bishops Stortford on the WAML (I think). Also love the videos, keep up the good work!
He would if there was no lockdown
I will give it a look at some stage
Another enjoyable video, keep up the great work. Stay safe in these dark times
Thanks very much! I trust you're keeping well
Great video. Didn't really expect much from Ely but this vid made me reconsider. Great variety in trains and a simple layout!
This is a great station to come to, I highly recommend you come here one day bud
Great video.
Thanks very much
Nice!!
Thanks very much
No Problem!!
Great video and totally agree with you on the FLIRT's. They do indeed look stunning. Stay safe. :)
Thanks very much, the more I film them the more I love them haha
@@Tornado922 good to hear and you're welcome. :)
Nice to Ely Is back. Great Video
Thanks very much
Good video buddy
Thanks very much
Excellent video!
Thanks very much
That 66 Sounded Amazing
Certainly did!
Very good video despite you not knowing your Liverpool Lime Street (my local main station) from your London Liverpool Street! Stay safe and hopefully you can get out again soon to make more of your entertaining videos.
Thanks very much, truth be told I didn't even realise that I had made that mistake until I had started looking through the comments section a few days later haha
I ❤ going to Ely because of the stalls that are there
Can u do one on c2c
@pitsea
The only one I would do on the C2C network would be Rainham
Just to say the new bombardio 720s are up and running
Nice video 👍
Thanks very much
Poor 158 856 r.i.p train hope you feel better soon
Oh bluddy hell man if I knew you were there I'd met you had a good little chat with you I pass Ely 4times a week I use btween Brandon and Cambridge for college would've been nice to have met you from the a distance obviously well done sir.
I'm sure we can get something sorted for another time!
@@Tornado922 after this lockdown If your filming at Peterbrough Birmingham new street or Cambridge put a post up I'll see it and message you.
Great video Tornado922
Thanks very much
I saw 387105 at Cambridge North
nice, I hope you had a great time there
I do like the 755 units, but they just look a bit weird with the power car being in the middle
I think it adds a certain charm to them
Hope 158 856 is repaired soon
I'm sure it will be
@@Tornado922 it might of gone to a depot or some sort.
Can u do one at Rainham on the c2c line
I will do once Eurostar are back running to their full timetable
A 158 working a London Liverpool Street to Norwich, that's new hahahahahahahahahahahaha lolz great video BTW
Do cross country trains come from Birmingham New Street to Ely then what train goes from Ely to Norwich or can you go from Ely to great Yarmouth ? Thanks for your help Elvis Presley
Can you train spot at Whittlesea station
Can u do Glasgow Central please x
I will do but that won't be this year
Other brilliant video legend tornado what happened 158868 . Can you film at hest bank level cross or at carnforth station
Thanks very much, I'm not to sure what happened in the end. All I know is the unit travelled under it's own power once I had finished filming. I will give both a look at some stage
@@Tornado922 yeah that is understand . And government rules
Could you possibly do trains at west Norwood one day?
I'll give it a look but I can't promise anything
Love Ely. Enjoyed watching this back. Great spot for variety - I can remember visiting her to pick up my dad’s cousin every Christmas when she would come down to visit from up north!
How were the station staff here? Did you have to apply for/get permission to shoot here first?
Luv the vids mate
Thanks very much
Will Avanti West Coast give their Super Voyagers to Cross Country? Add to the current stock
As far as my understanding goes Avanti West Coast will be transferring their fleet of voyagers over to XC
13:49 R.I.P train
Do you mean Liverpool lime Street
I think they might tow 158868 To Doncaster Works to get it repaired
They could very well do

3:44
Did 158856 ever get moving? Did you get on it to Peterborough?
The train did get moving eventually, but I don't know where it went to
Will u record at Preston or Lancaster ?
I have done a film from both those stations at the start of this year
To be honest, I was expecting Ely to be... well, a bigger station. Is there a different Ely station on the GEML?
Edit: I am making this comment before watching the full video, please don't kill me.
Only one Ely it’s just a very busy little station

Buses still seem more colourful these days then trains.
I guess it all depends on who is running the trains really, but most companies nowadays seem to prefer a more bland colour scheme
I feel bad for the people who was on that train that broken down
I don't, they got off a diesel-powered 1990's 158 and onto a bi-mode 2019 755, that's quite the upgrade, I think they got rather lucky
@@M1CAE1. ok if you say so
@@M1CAE1. 158s are quite nice actually
A 3 letter name station lol
One of the few
Hello tornado922 158 856 is not wanting to go to liverpool lime street
It wants a day off haha
Don't see how anyone can like the look of those Stadler things. I think they're hideous, those great gaping maws around the coupler really seal the deal.
NGl I thought it was pronounced E Lie
I guess we all have different ways of pronouncing things haha
