Part 1, Queenstown Road (Battersea): • London: South West Tra...
This film is the second of two parts showing mainline railway services in Battersea, South West London. While the first part explored the busy South Western Main Line railway station Queenstown Road (Battersea), we are now at Battersea Park station, which is the first station on the railway line originating from London Victoria terminus, not far from the other station.
All services calling at this station are operated by Southern, though some passing Gatwick Express trains can also be seen in the film. As opposed to South West Trains (see previous part), Southern uses a uniform green livery for all its services. Announcements at this station are by Celia (platform 3) and Phil (platforms 4 and 5).
The Battersea area is currently under massive redevelopment. A few shots show the enormous construction site next to the station where new residential and commercial properties are being built. Also shown is the Battersea Power Station (the large brick building with the four chimneys), which has been a coal-fired power station until 1983, when it was decomissioned. It is now part of the redevelopment and will house luxury flats as well as the European headquarters for Apple Inc.
In some shots one can also see Southeastern services in the distance, passing in front of the power station.
Enjoy!
