Terrific work Tornado, one of your best! This needs to be watched several times, there is so much fascinating stuff going on. The Grand Centrals are beautiful.
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :) And I'm flattered to hear that you think of this as one of my best films to date :) I'll be sure to get more of the ECML covered throughout the later stages of this year
5:35 i cant get enough of the Super voyagers and voyagers they are epic. I know people may slag me off for that but i think they are fantastic especially since they go such a long distance. Youve got to enjoy it honestly.
Thanks very much Paul, it feels good to be getting back into the swing of things :) I can certainly see what you mean about the sounds that the 68's make when they are passing
What a super place to film from some fantastic trains. By the looks of the wheat in the field won't be long before the combine is making a dust. All ready looking forward to the next one. Kind regards
Thanks very much, I had a great time getting this put together. This is a great place to come to when the weather is on your side :) I would have loved to have been here when the fields were being harvested :)
your very welcome J you do a great job so that we can sit back and enjoy them well done mate , really do appreciate your efforts you do make me smile at times , nice to tisten to someone who obviously has a great sence of humour :):) great stuff thanks for sharing J SYD
Another greay vidoe J you picked a great day , pleased you managed to get your teeth in properly he he some great shots there love the 68s great sound and a decent livery very nice Its a shame those 180s running numbers are crap to read hought you did well to spit them there moving to my patch E M T as soon as grand central get there new trains . look forward to acton next time . keep safe mate i could listen to you all day long mate thanks for sharing SYD
Thanks very much for your continued support it really does mean a huge amount to me!! I'm glad you enjoyed watching this. I had a great time getting it all put together, the weather coupled with the scenery really made this all the more better. Along with the great variety in traffic that I was catching during my stay here
Thanks very much, I had a great time here. This was a great spot to come to especially as the weather was on my side this day as opposed to my previous visit here almost 5 years previous
Hi Jarrod great video and Colton Junction is the only 125 mph junction in the area which can take the line speed off trains travelling either to Leeds or Doncaster
Yet another great video, you've picked your vantage point well. Have you ever thought of the ECML just north of York. There is a lovely stretch of very straight track, line speed 125
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, I had a great time filming here. I have thought about filming north of the ECML for some time now but never really got around to it
Brilliant video Jarred Web. I like Colton Junction, there's two tracks where trains operate. The line on the left towards Leeds and the line on the right is towards Doncaster (one of the best station) but sadly no CrossCountry services towards Reading or Southampton Central via Doncaster but luckily, you got Grand Central are running which is good to see and two TPE class 68s. 68033 sounding better than 68032.
Thanks very much, I had a great time getting this film put together, the weather and the scenery really helped make this great. Plus getting the sheer variety in traffic was always a bonus!
I’ve never left a comment on here but.but first time for everything lol. I took my daughter this afternoon as she wanted to go see the trains. And I was surprised on how the new trans Pennines look
Your comments are always welcomed on here lol, the livery on the TPE trains looks amazing, certainly one of the best liveries currently applied to a mainline company. I hope you and your daughter had a great time
If you are looking for trackside locations Jarred, then Harrowden Junction on the MML, Marholm on the ECML and Kings Sutton on the CML should do. Kings Sutton is a rather quiet station though anyway.
3:45 news flash ive been on a class 802 from Manchester Victoria to York mate 😂😂. And ive also been on a 185 from Leeds to Manchester Victoria. Im joking on the news flash. in all seriousness i hope you enjoyed your time at colton Junction looks like a nice place to trainspot. If i drove id venture there myself. I just prefer to go from station to station at the mo.
The only way the freight operators, other than DRS, can go electric is if they go for the bi-mode 88 and DRS haven't got that many themselves. Top video, top location. Stay safe, regards Gary.
I'm sure if they looked hard enough they would find plenty of European firms that have been making electric locos for use on the continental network such as the Siemens Vectron for instance. They seem to be very popular as freight locomotives with the German, Polish and Czech network :)
Nice day good vid...I assume the whirring sounds are the points? iirc this is the fastest speed junction on network at 125mph and has the scary double facing points...
Thanks very much, you would be correct in your assumption that the whirring sounds are from the points, given how frequently they change over the course of a day I wouldn't be surprised if Network Rail come out once a week to check they are working order
@@reecelucasfilms dude I do apologise, I just think it's stupid he complains about getting comments and views..I get small views and really no comments
Ive always watched live at york station and noticed that the transpennine 185s from redcar to manchester airport have doubled up instead of been a single 3 car carrage im from middlesbrough which is before redcar hope your doing safe and well
I suspect that they have doubled up that service to try and cope with the social distancing measures out in place across the country. I'm doing very well thanks, I trust you are keeping well
Brilliant! I am back into train spotting after 45 year hiatus ( retired) what happened to Ian allan books? Is there a modern equivalent? Any hints greatly appreciated. Thanks Tornado! I am off to water orton tomorrow to get to know these new-fangled locomotives. What happened to warships and westerns? ☺️😊😄😃
Well thank you kindly! I must confess that the Ian Allan books are something that I never really looked into. What I do know is there are books that get published every year with details of the current rolling stock running around the UK network both from Locomotives to freight and passenger wagons. If you're fortunate enough you may find a western running around the country on a railtour or even at a heritage railway ;)
Tornado922 Thanks tornado. I actually got hold of a few books from platform 5 . These have all the numbers and codes etc. Well chuffed! Had a great day at Water Orton last week inspired by your vids. Keep up the good work 😁😄😊
Looking on Google maps, I can see the bridge further south and v easy to get to but not sure how to get to the footbridge other than walking across private land, any advice?
If you look at the bridge on google maps from where I was filming you might be able to make out a small public footpath that runs along the edge of the field leading into the village of Colton, that's how I got there. There is also a road that runs down the farm next to the bridge so you could also drive down there assuming that the road in question isn't gated across
Will going Facebook group and insta . Longport is a good spot . I'm going Devon on August 21st for 10 days and longport will be super quiet so try ing go while I'm away . Jacob
14:01 is '180103' not '003' at least you got all train numbers but only one you have failed to see I know Grand Central is difficult for you but I know the name on the train that helps me a lot 😉
801 has slightly more power and is basically for more demanding lines like to scotland...as its a denanding line and rises and falls in gradients etc..
“Hello and welcome to a Noobs” A great start Jared😂
"If I put my teeth back in" he said. I like when he said that line
I'm a little bit rusty haha
@@Tornado922 don't worry buddy at least you didn't talk very quickly lol
@@arnoldspottingvideos5269 he should release some merchandise with that exact line written on it.
You should enjoy Acton Bridge as there's usually plenty going on. Another enjoyable video thanks.
Sadly Acton bridge turned into a rather boring affair as there wasn't anything worthy of note passing through
Brilliant video. Makes a change to hear narration. Well done 👍 It’s a great spot is Colton Junction.
Terrific work Tornado, one of your best! This needs to be watched several times, there is so much fascinating stuff going on. The Grand Centrals are beautiful.
Ikr. The colours on them looks bright and have some nice character to them 😉
Thanks very much I'm glad you found this enjoyable to watch and I'm flattered to hear that you think of it as one of my better films!!
Very enjoyable Tornado :) this is your most enjoyable film yet 🙂
Also I would love to see some more ECML films when you can

Great video, awesome variety. Those 68s on the transpennine services were beautiful. Glad you are managing to get back out and about.
Thanks very much, I was hoping to catch a few more of the 68's whilst I was here but I was happy with what was on offer during my stay :)
Brilliant video as always I’m constantly binge watching your content👍
Thank you kindly for saying so :)
Great to see you back on duty. What a brilliant place. I love those 68's as they always sound like an Aston Martin or something like that. Great vid.
Thanks very much Paul, it feels good to be getting back into the swing of things :) I can certainly see what you mean about the sounds that the 68's make when they are passing
Yes Tornado 992 the 800s and any other services are all cool I did like the convoy of diesels wow
What a super place to film from some fantastic trains. By the looks of the wheat in the field won't be long before the combine is making a dust. All ready looking forward to the next one. Kind regards

I realy enjoying the 801
That's the beauty part of what you get from the fertile plains of The Vale of York Jarred. Just scenic all around
One of my favourite spots to come to
Another brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed watching this :)
Good too have you back
Thanks very much, it feels good to be back
a great video as always. cant wait for the Acton Bridge video has this is a place id like to to see freight
Thanks very much, this was the better place of the two that I went to that day. Acton was disappointing
A another great video Tornado922
Thanks very much Paul
I went there last week, Great vid as always!
Thanks very much, I hope you had a great time there
Love the train video's

I agree. I think this might be trainspotting Heaven. the Heavenly British countryside and good views from the ECML.
When the weather is on your side this location is absolutely wonderful to come to
Fantastic Video Mate! There's so much variety!
Thanks very much, this is one of the better places to come to on the ECML for the amount of variety on offer to be seen
Gorgeous, awesome video!
Thanks very much :)
That 802202 livery is stunning
It's one of the best liveries I've seen in a long while
Awesome video and great vantage point too. :)
Thanks very much, I had a great time here, the weather and the views really made this all the more better
@@Tornado922 You're welcome. Glad the weather was nice for you that day. :)
Excellent video, be nice if LNER put some special livery's on the Azuma's and looking forward to the next video 👍🍺
I'm sure LNER will have something that they can do once all of the 91's have left active service with them
Hi Jarrod great video and Colton Junction is the only 125 mph junction in the area which can take the line speed off trains travelling either to Leeds or Doncaster

Transpennine Express is good despite the delays they have.
How do you find out the route and rolling stock type, before they are within spotting distance? Very intrigued?
The only way the freight operators, other than DRS, can go electric is if they go for the bi-mode 88 and DRS haven't got that many themselves. Top video, top location. Stay safe, regards Gary.

Can you do Kettering again? You haven’t been there for a good few years
I'll see what I can do
4 66es what are you kidding me!!
Last time I saw a convoy of 66's was when I was in Cardiff last year
Try do Blackpool north
I don't think that will be covered this year

Whats the difference between 800/801
801 has slightly more power and is basically for more demanding lines like to scotland...as its a denanding line and rises and falls in gradients etc..
Only 7 155s remain

How many 91s left?
I'm honestly not to sure, you would be better off finding a forum or something of that nature and checking on there
