PurplesTrains

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.

    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.
