Loving this series! Really hope to see you cover all of the UK's main train operating companies soon

[@williamforde1792]

I really like these videos so I’m looking forward to seeing more of them

[@theexcaliburone5933]

as an American I found this very helpful

[@grassytramtracks]

You missed out the hourly Kings Cross to Cambridge service which stops at the stations between Royston and Cambridge

[@MinegateTransport]

Great video! I’d love to see one on Southern or Southeastern

[@PatrickMapper]

Very cool

[@eastlancsesteem]

The Moorgate services would of been on the tube if that driver didn't crash into Moorgate in 1975.

[@bfapple]

No - that was just a freak accident. Transfer to the Great Northern was always the end game.

[@HesterClapp]

Recently I've seen GN operating electrostars around Cambridge transferred from GWR too

[@flying_scotsman_60103]

Nice video when you spoke about the sidings at stations you for got to mention the sidings at welwyn garden city

[@CupOfAMuggie]

I thought EWR was only Chiltern but thanks for the information about Great Northern.

[@AndrewG1989]

Well apparently Great Northern have inherited the Class 387/3 and are to replace the Class 387/2 that will go to Southern. And I do think that Great Northern should of inherited the Class 379 that would be ideal for London King’s Cross-Cambridge, Ely and Kings Lynn with the Class 387 to operate on London KX-Peterborough.

[@Turboaviation4357]

Hey, you forgot some stations like Highbury and islington, Enfield Chase, grange hill Finsbury park

[@karimscaterovic5413]

Class 379 are being mistreated, if Greater Anglia want to get rid of them I’d love to see them on the East Coastway or Metro Routes for Thameslink. Northern/LNWR may also qualify to be options

[@AndrewG1989]

Totally agree with you.

[@Spacebug111]

LNWR are getting new aventrea's, northern could do with some though, GWR as well maybe?

[@karimscaterovic5413]

I love the networkers; but 379 deserves the same grace the class 150 or 158 get in the country

[@Sophiebryson510]

Please do lnwr/wmt

[@theblacktrainboy373]

Greater anglia next. The best of the best with Waml and geml and if you can Lea valley lines

[@AndrewG1989]

I think he’s already covered Greater Anglia

[@mastertrams]

Is the description right? It says GWR...

[@FozzQuaker]

Yeah, just noticed that myself

[@Sophiebryson510]

And he’s done that already!

[@MikeWillSee]

Probably a copy-paste from his other video

[@ashleyrabot]

Guess RUclips didn't want me to save that! 😂

[@Sophiebryson510]

Ok

[@dentilagjana9030]

What county is peterbourough

[@bobsteryt]

Cambridgeshire

[@Sophiebryson510]

[@dentilagjana9030]

Instead of calling it hertford loop line you can call it london -hertford loop line
