It's a remarkable filming : bright colors, very steady image, captions as needed, very clean windshield, great sound… keep filming ! especially those tracks around London, a precious heritage from last century
WOW. Beautiful and perfect. This video should be a model for quality for all others. 😉🥰 ❤ Stay well, drive safe. PS: Having this quality and weather in mind that all London railway videos becomes scenic, worth to watch and enjoy. I have no doubt that you will get only compliments on this video as it is top of the top. ''Give us more''😉
In 1977 I used this line from Richmond to Broad Street, so it was via Gospel Oak. Not electrified in those days, and poor old Broad Street station was rundown. Don't those 66s burble sweetly along. Thank you from Australia.
Nice one! Really appreciate you taking the time to record & edit this. It's a massive help. I'm Gateway- Wembley return via that route today but as usual, it's at night! Thanks again 👍🏻
@@Freightdriver82 Sorry to be a pain but if ever you get a chance to film after Primrose tunnel to Wembley that would also be great! 🤣 Thanks again, really useful & great quality.
What great memories. I used to collect and deliver to the Marks & Spencer Fashionflow depot on Oval Road at Camden most nights of the week in the late 80's and early 90's. Being a spotter I got the best of both worlds with the Euston departures and freight traffic via Primrose Hill. The area where the electric generators is to the left used to be the lorry park
TfL should bring back Primrose hill station and continue the east London line services that terminate at Highbury & Islington to connect at South Hampstead and then Terminate at Willsden Junction. I know that it has to share the corridor from Queens park with Bakerloo line services, but surely another 4th could be squeezed in? Especially now that HS2 will terminate at old oak Common.
This line from Gospel Oak was only DC 3rd rail until late 1996. I believe it continued to Dalston Kingsland where trains changed over to OLE. I hope Primrose Hill station comes back into use.
Do any passenger trains use the track through the site of Primrose Hill station, or is that link freight only? Great view of the Roundhouse. Is the westbound platform of the NLL (as opposed to ELL) track at Caledonian Road permanently out of use, or was it fenced off temporarily for some work at the station. I presume eastbound NLL trains diverge left at the junction where you cross over the MML, use the more northerly platforms at Cally Road and then the emergency crossover that you mention to the east of it, just west of Highbury and Islington. It took me ages, comparing lineside buildings with Google's aerial photos, to work out the exact point where the video starts: shame that Google and OS maps don't label Lea Junction and Channelsea Loop ;-)
Many yanks, good photography , however couldi recommend captions, and or commitory, these would maintain interest, when the route does not. A route would also help providing context and orientation. Many thanks for an remarkable journey, not often seen. Patrick, Northamptonshire
I’ve been playing about with photoshop editor… I’ve sussed it now so normal service will resume on the next video! I didn’t realise myself till it was all done!
so waste all that money maintaining the electrification for what? to use diesel trains HAHAHA. If i were passengers i be cursing management the fk out. Lets spend $2 billion putting up these power lines, and then put in an order for 2000 diesel cars just for fun.
