"How many wires do you want on the front of your train?" Old British trains: "Yes"

Great video! Looks so nice seeing the class 700 go through a jungle type area then over the bridge :)

One of my best and favourited trains stations, I always love to come down here to trainspot, or naturally just be fun. My first ride on Thameslink was at the favourited place of Welwyn Garden City! Thanks for posting this video, made me relive some memories! Good recording and special on the West Coast Railways 60103.

What an opening to the video! Didn’t expect to see that beauty!

What a great compilation of videos. Really enjoyable.Such a diverse array of locos ranging from 801's to The Flying Scotsman to a train with a lancaster on the side of it. Can't wait for the next one!

Welwyn Garden City railway station serves the town of Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England. It is 20 miles 25 chains (32.69 km) from London King's Cross on the East Coast Main Line.[2] Train services are currently provided by Thameslink and Great Northern.

These are my favorite types of videos where there are fast trains. Keep up the good work 👍👍

Excellent railway video again, great catch of the steam train.

Thanks TrainSpotting Ldn. It sure does look like some gradient to get up there! I was hoping to get a shot where a fast would come under at the same time but it wasn't to be. 😃

Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. I think there is another Garden City called Letchworth. The amenities regarding the latter are nearby including a well known bank. Steam train included in this video. Been on it many times since 2013.

What a way to start the video with Flying Scotsman. Think on this rail tour, it failed due to bad coal? Epic action and mixed variety from Welwyn. Miss the Smile class 365 trains. Recon they could have been put to good use still.

Super

Nice one. I shouldn't think that they'd send an 800/1 to Lincoln though haha

We’re back for a good ECML video. DP’S Railway Videos is always rude to me. Here’s a joke: That’s the Hogwarts Express. It starts at Kings Cross and travels up the ECML to Edinburgh. Then it crosses central Scotland and travels up the west highland line to Mallaig. Lastly it travels on it’s own bit up to Hogwarts

I was actually gonna go to my dads but I can’t because LNER tickets are not available back to Newark because of the problem between Peterborough and Retford of the electric wires

Limo trans is operating now so once you get Heathrow express 387’s that should be your next goal is to get somewhere on the ECML To get some limo 803 is an action

You must have filmed just when frequent ECML service came. Like then King’s Cross was done being remodeled. 8:39 MY FAVORITE 🤩 THAMESLINK TRAIN I like 700123

Great Northern could inherit the Class 379s from Greater Anglia to operate them on Kings Cross-Peterborough, Cambridge, Cambridge North and Kings Lynn rather than using Thameslink Class 700s.

Maybe so, I would say the 379s are most likely to end up with Southern to replace elderly 313s with 377s. But replacing the 700s are good for variety though 😃
