If I had to guess it would probably be the one from Kensington Olympia yard (0Z15) it’s because I never saw that type of train before and that it stopped at the station do you have any idea why it stopped?
Oh yes! Still not a single 701 in traffic but you can see one in Clapham Yard in some shots. I never thought to this day that they wouldn’t yet be in service..
Been to Clapham Junction many times .. its extremely busy with trains and passengers at peak in the summer and also a great trainspotting area.. as this shows
Amazing that every single train from London Waterloo mainline station (the busiest in the whole UK) passes through here plus two thirds of the trains from London Victoria mainline along with several Overground trains as well!
Thanks Henree, it was certainly challenging but I'm really happy with the finished product. Part 2 is a little more predicable but I had to go before the Southern 455s were scrapped!
My favourite station in the UK, and this showcase (and part 2 when it’s out), really show off the expansiveness of a station connecting so many networks!
Thanks Tiger Trainz, It was interesting to me as well since it was a Colas driver/movement with a GBRf 73. I assume this is a driver training run or something. Those 455s are certainly well travelled, still excellent metro trains with well-regarded interiors.
Well done for identifying all those trains at this famously busy spot. Apart from its busyness all I know about Clapham Junction is that it's not in Clapham.
Yep! It’s actually in Battersea. Although I make it look easy, there is a deceiving amount of preparation before and during filming. I am always preparing for the next train to come into view and there are a lot of cases in this video where it works well (and not!). Thanks David 😃👍🏻
I wonder which way you have to make it look so smooth. When I try to make trainspotting I always hear my hands touching my Microphone. By the way, AMAZING video!!
Hi there. Just wanted to ask you where you recommend trainspotting in London; I’m looking at stations where FAST trains run past and/or a variety TOC’s. Great video btw 👍!
Still when is South Western Railway going to start allowing the Class 701 Arterios that would of been in service this summer. Clapham Junction is a great station.
Who knows? Some 701s have been accepted for use but I don’t think any driver training has begun so it won’t be until at least December that they enter traffic.
SouthWestRailway trains have this thing were they have lots of branches leading to certain areas around west London and also because they meet different trains such as cross country and GWR
20:55 good to see a nice driver usually you dont see these in the city as they are too busy with their head down trying to spend as little time stationary as possible, also did you need any kind of permission to film there?
Меня привлекает эта оквадраченная форма электричек, больше склоняет к метро. Почему поезда питаются от контактного рельса, а не от верхних проводов как в привычной железной дороге?
Its a big fleet of over 80 units and with a best case average of 1 unit swapped with a 701 per week (assuming they start replacing ASAP), they are likely to be completely replaced by December 2025. You should have plenty of time to see one. 😃
Part 2 will be released next week featuring platforms 11-17. If you’ve noticed the date as well, this also happened to be the last weekday of 455 use 😉
I'm not sure whats going on with them, they are really needed since capacity did seem like a bit of an issue in the later hours.. There is one visible in the sidings at Clapham though
Which Train from this video is your favourite? Thanks for watching all 😃
Let's just say every train from this video is my favourite 😍
Either the 73, 455 or 450
All the trains in the video were my favourite
378, 700, 390, 360, 345, 377, 165, 168, 170, 185, 376 and *more*
If I had to guess it would probably be the one from Kensington Olympia yard (0Z15) it’s because I never saw that type of train before and that it stopped at the station do you have any idea why it stopped?
When part one is already 43 mins long you know its gonna be good
Oh yes! Still not a single 701 in traffic but you can see one in Clapham Yard in some shots. I never thought to this day that they wouldn’t yet be in service..
@@StarlifeStudios it's taking ages for the 701s to enter service
@@maimadha and i personally think thats good because the seats dont look comfortable and as much as i hate the 458/0 front the 701s front is worse
@@fatihburek I do agree with that
@@StarlifeStudios there's some in Feltham Yard siding that hasn't moved for a while

I’ve spent most of my life at Clapham Junction it’s such a good station
Amazing that every single train from London Waterloo mainline station (the busiest in the whole UK) passes through here plus two thirds of the trains from London Victoria mainline along with several Overground trains as well!
You can't even film 'where are we today?' without a train passing! That's how busy CLJ is these days!
Such a fantastic station 😃
Incredible video, this must have been really difficult to make, hats off!!

Thanks Maz, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Clapham Junction required two videos due to the mass amount of trains! Part 2 should be out very soon 😃
Mine too
Nice to see more then just Southern Trains
Cool video, nice catches of the 66 and 73, never seen that movement before. Still afore those 455 workhorses
Thanks Tiger Trainz, It was interesting to me as well since it was a Colas driver/movement with a GBRf 73. I assume this is a driver training run or something. Those 455s are certainly well travelled, still excellent metro trains with well-regarded interiors.
@@StarlifeStudios ah yes, Colas run most of the GBRf 73s on driver training and PLPR services
I’m going on the South western railway on 19.12.2022 to Petersfield at Clapham junction.
Great video. Love the 73
Those class 455s with the odd 507 or 508 coach that make up the units definitely need to go.
Not sure what the fans like more (707s or 701s
it’s crazy to think how this is the busiest station in the UK, yet somehow some SWR trains still pass through

Ooo multiple parts, very cool, must’ve been fun editing all these 😂
I had to split this video otherwise I would have been hours long! There were over 100 individual workings just in this video alone 😂
My fav station in the UK thx
Always a pleasure MohidYT 😃
Yayyy!! A new video! At Clapham Junction amazing!
I wonder which way you have to make it look so smooth. When I try to make trainspotting I always hear my hands touching my Microphone. By the way, AMAZING video!!
I know that feeling. I did one using my phone and not forgetting that my finger goes over the camera. Ruins some clips
@@lanchester101 Yeah, specially the good ones (rare trains and rare stuff)

Great video as always.👍👌
I do really like the first swr train
Seems that on the Windsor and Eton Riverside line anything goes!
Great video as always👍
Thanks again ENC!
@@StarlifeStudios no problem😀
Very Nice Video. I Always Go To Clapham Junction
Clapham Junction is like the busiest through station in the UK there's just trains everywhere
It's full even on a strike day.
Great video
Great railway video mate
Amazing
Awesome
Glad you enjoyed Tim! 😃

Right. At least that’s some good news about the Class 701s to start service in December. 👍

Great video. Couple of mine in there 😉 I'm surprised you didn't just keep the record button on and just turn the camera as its so busy haha
I could have! There wasn’t much space between trains. Always a pleasure to provide :)
28:48 NO WAY I WAS ON THAT TRAIN
Great video though!
I love chop chop train
11:11:11:11
Not seen the whole vid yet but assuming Part 1 is the SWR side of Clapham with Part 2 being the Southern side of the station
Spot on James!
28:46 The Class 707s have to go they need to get replaced by the the class 701s
Hey Ross, did you see a 444019 + 444040 on 1B24?
Great vid . Must get there this year. Are the staff friendly ?
Yes! 😃
I was wondering, did you need to get permission to film there and if so who did you ask for it??
New trains at speed today?
Does anyone have any idea when the 455s are going for scrap, I rlly wanna see a 37 hauling one thanks

@@StarlifeStudios thanks!
I've read that 2000 trains stop daily there does that sound about right?
That sounds about right, today there is planned to be 2101 departures.
@@StarlifeStudios yikes that's impressive sounds like a train spotters paradise nearly every class must stop there
Why did the 9:30 freight train stop
Could be for a driver change over, or maybe there's a red signal ahead
Gatwick Airport?
train go to 39 ;19 london waterloo and london victoria and more
Will part 2 be next week?
Yes part 2 will be next week
Part 2 will be released next week featuring platforms 11-17. If you’ve noticed the date as well, this also happened to be the last weekday of 455 use 😉

Not a fan at all of the NEW South Western Railway livery.
I miss the old stagecoach livery with much more vibrant colours instead of the bland grey.
Nice
Thanks Lorenzo :)
