Hey, I'm PurplesTrains, I usually do trainspotting and also trip reviews and occasionally fleet reviews!
I do trainspotting videos around southeast and southwest of England such as London, Salisbury, Portsmouth, Brighton, Eastleigh, Bournemouth, Exeter and Southampton.
I also do train reviews, some are called "Small Trips" where I just travel from a quiet station to another quiet station, and then there is "Fleet Reviews" where I just review an operators fleet. Finally there is "Train Reviews" where I review a single train from a terminus to station.
There is also "Every Station" where I do around 3-8 stations, a series I've just started!
Upload Schedule:
Friday 4pm on the dot.
Occasional bonus videos on Tuesday 4pm.
KZread shorts is any day, any time.
**DISCLAMER** All of my videos are recorded by me, only exception is if credited videos or compilation, some videos look like you've seen them before, as i do hotspot stations.

Nice clips, I love Eastleigh, you gotta get a part 3 soon
Thank you very much! Eastleigh is amazing, part 3 is coming out September, don't miss it, great trains in it!
Awesome clips
Thank you!
Southampton is a great station, Greg video
Epic stuff, Glad to see the 153 a lot!
@@Trainspotter414 Thank you, I see the 153s loads!

Thanks!
Everytime I read DR I think instantly of Deutsche Reichsbahn and then Delta Rail. What the company called?
The company is a crossover between Harsco + Network Rail, the DR is the start of the class!
Awesome, I love the rail tour, 455s are slowly going so record as many as you can in the next two years 😮
Thank you for the comment, that’s the plan, to go to London suburban to get as many 458s and 455s but it’s really tricky to get 458s as there is only 7 or 8 left
Awesome video, railrour included, epic
@@EpicLovesEastleigh Thank you for the comment, certainly there is a rail tour and many more rail tours to come such as a Class 57, Thumper and even the Britannia

@@purplesTrainsUKYou're welcome! By any chance do you know what time it'll come through bedhampton?
@@Chilternfanrailvideos Well I just did a train spotting session and it’s unknown as it was supposed to pass around 2 hours ago, very late
@@Chilternfanrailvideos It was just announced it was cancelled
@@purplesTrainsUKoh
Honestly, one of your best videos, your channel is too underrated
@@Trainspotter414 thanks a lot, I agree this is a great station
This is 1 of the reasons why I love Woking
Woking is great!!
great footage, i love Exeter, i am from Exeter so to see this makes me gleam
Thank you, I think everyone agrees that this station is a wonderful one!
Great video,I love Exeter
Thank you very much, Exeter is a lovely place
Was here the other day, great station excluding having to catch a Networker Turbo to Barnstaple which wasn't very pleasant
Yep I love Exeter St Davids, sorry that you had to get a Networker Turbo, hope it was 166216 or 166220 as they still have the old and retro FGW interior that I actually like!
Lovely
Thank you very much
that is incredibly sigma
Thank you, love Exeter!
@@purplesTrainsUK Yeah, its a very interesting station
ALWAYS AN ECS
Yesterday it was doing SAL > ROM then went into the depot and hasnt been seen today
Fabulous video
Thank you very much
No dalston junction:)
Oh okay, it said on RTT from Stratford but ill take your advice thank you
Tell your mate that theres no need to wave for so long. If he thinks it increases his chance of getting tones then hes wrong
Will do, I dont wave for tones, i wave for about 1 second just to say hi. With my friend he wants alot of tones, and commentates ALOT so I will try tell him to not wave for really long
@purplesTrainsUK I don't want lots of tones I just like to wave for a long time and sometimes just like in this vid I wave way to early
@@purplesTrainsUK If he wants alot of tones then he needs to go somewhere quite like Shawford or St Denys or Swaythling. Ive seen your mate before at SOU, didnt stop talking in my bloody video
@RVotSW I've just said it isn't for tones it is because I wave to early and also because I like to wave for a long time
@@swrailvideos SWR/Statesman Railtours dont usually tone but some circumstances where its passing trains is more common yes
Nice video!
Thank you very much!
@@purplesTrainsUK You're welcome
Saw it too, good catch the day!
Yes indeed, went outside Arlington for a little bit and cached a DB 66 passing the bridge!
Nice video!
Cheers!
@@purplesTrainsUKYou're welcome
Great video of Swanwick! Underrated station
Thank you very much, indeed it is an underrated station. Apologies for my friend rambling on
I think it's cool how you guys all stand in line
@@camotech1314 yes I like it too, but what I mean is that I just don’t want people thinking I’m talking, but I will do a voice reveal sometime I’m 2025 or 2026
Amazing video!
Thank you very much
wow big crazy time, I like and comment because I was told to.
Yep, but I didn't ask you to like and comment, I promoted it and pinged you instead of the other Sam.
Never been to London Bridge Station, but it looks magnificent 👌
It is, full video on it soon!
Im my friend chillfanvideo i sub u
Thanks it means alot to me, your friend, he's a good KZreadr!
@@purplesTrainsUK ok 😃
LU is back woohoo
Certainly is
Great video, it is surely like a mini Clapham 😅
Cheers, it certainly is!
I love the 458s, glad you did a full video for these ones and the image glitch is a mistake made by a lot of people, depending on your software it can glitch,out so don’t worry about it
Thank you so much, it is certainly a pain but its fine, i added it into the comments.
Great review, it’s fine for the misplace, a lot of editing softwares do this, good that you put the info in the comments!
Cheers for the comment, it is very annoying but i did add it into the comment so it should be all fine
Apologies for the scene 01:11 - 01:30, I dont know why but my editing software didnt add text, what I said was just about this : In 1998 South West Trains ordered a fleet of 30 4 car trains called, 458/0s, these were to replace trains such as the Class 411s and 421s, And GX wanted similar trains, called Class 460s, which ran with GX until 2012 when 458/5 conversion started using some cars off these trains. The 458/5s started operation in 2014 and are now being converted into 458/4s, which will run on limited suburban routes and would of ran on the PDL, to replace the Class 442s. Heres a picture of a new 458/4. They entered service last Monday. The pictures corresponded to the text, GX was the second picture, the 460, 458/0 was the first picture, 458/5 was third picture and 458/4 was fourth.
Are the 701s serving Bournemouth then? Haven't seen them somehow I don't really go trainspotting much though so idk
They test from Staines Up Loop > Waterloo via Bournemouth nearly every night
@@purplesTrainsUK oh nice!
