Trains at: Retford, ECML, 24/06/15
A good early evening spent at Retford on the east coast mainline seeing services from VTEC, First Hull Trains and Grand Central. I manage to get a couple pf tones throughout the course of the film The mainline section of the station isn't overly busy whereas the lower half of the station has a frequent amount of freight traffic passing through. For this video i stayed on the upper levels of the station. However this is the only video i will produce from here as i don't particularly like the station very much. I hope you all enjoy watching.

Great video as always
Great video as ever. There were some great trains there including 91111. But it was a shame you missed your last train home.

Peter Hayton Made for a slightly longer but more enjoyable day :)
Nice video glad not any cross country
Retford where the Flat Crossing with the Great Central route From Manchester and Sheffield to Grimsby and Cleethorpes was eliminated by an underpass in 1965
That lady was wondering why you have a fascination with 91111 at the end
i get why you don't like this station, but you still made a gr8 video :)

Debski Huis Thanks very much :) Yeah I wasn't overly keen on filming here from the word go in all honesty but I gave it a try. Think it's one I shall be avoiding from now on

The MTU units make a nice sound but nothing beats the scream of a Valenta unit

Still sound better though. Obviously the Valenta will always be the best for clag and noise but the VP185 engines still produce a good scream when passing by and powering up

Alex Wilkinson I wasn't overly keen on this station but you can get some good angles at the various ends of the platform I filmed the majority of the video at

+Tornado922 I didn't get to go to Retford as I missed my connection at Nottingham so I went to Newark Northgate instead!

Why do they have a EMT HST on loan to VTEC

They've got it on hire to replace HST sets that go in for refurbishments. They do one at a time.

+FIFA Gamer The Mainline station didn't offer great vantage points to film from. Plus you are limited to the one platform to film from unless your happy to stand on a station bench like I was towards the end of the film, I haven't looked at the lower half of the station yet, but I know you get a constant flow of freight and Northern Pacer units going to Lincoln from Sheffield and Doncaster.
