This film is the first of two parts showing mainline railway services in Battersea, South West London. In this part we take a close look at Queenstown Road (Battersea) station, which is on the South Western Main Line originating from London Waterloo terminus.
London Waterloo is the busiest railway station in all of Britain, and all trains going in and out of Waterloo must pass through Queenstown Road station. The station itself has only two platforms though, and only some stopping services actually stop here. The adjacent stations Vauxhall and Clapham Junction have far more frequent stopping services. However, passing fast trains can nicely be observed from the platform at Queenstown Road.
All services at this station are operated by South West Trains, and the film shows a nice mix of different stock. Trains in red livery are used for inner suburban services, the blue livery stands for medium-distance services, and the white livery stands for long-distance inter-city services to destinations such as Portsmouth, Southampton, Poole, Exeter, and Weymouth.
The second part of the film will show the nearby Battersea Park station, which is used by Southern services out of London Victoria.
Enjoy!
