Old and new on Britain's railways. The railway is in a constant state of change. What is common place one day soon becomes history. This channel is my attempt to record the everyday ordinary before it disappears. I am based in the London Borough of Bromley so my main focus is the London area. The back catalogue charts the changes over the past seven years and also looks further back to the 1970s when I was taking 35mm slides. There are also mini series about the history of the early railways around London and how they are used today. I publish regular new videos so it is always worth coming back to this channel. It is even easier if you subscribe and ask KZread to notify you when a new video is published. The big story over the next couple of years is likely to be the introduction of new rolling stock and the cascading of the older generation to new duties. HS2 and other major projects will also feature as they become more visible.

Great Northern should receive the Class 379s from storage that are replacing some of the Class 387s to Southern or Southeastern. And some Class 387s that are on hire from GWR to head back to Great Western Railway. Since Great Northern and Porterbrook decided to buy the Class 379s that were previously used on Greater Anglia and Stansted Express.
Nice railway video Boogies Trains
Great video.
Awesome capture
Great video!
You are making me envious. 😂
Excellent video Mr Boogie. Seeing the railway from a different viewpoint is amazing. Great to see the line is very busy with a bit of freight thrown in for good measure. Well done 🤓
Thanks for this video. Brings back happy memories of holidays spent in the towns and villages along this line between Trier and Koblenz.
I do like Moor Park. It’s got that quiet feel to it as it’s only few miles from Watford and Rickmandsworth. And is close to the Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire border.
I like hearing the announcements on your videos, all part of the atmosphere. But this station seems particularly blighted by them at times
Clear and informative. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
As always a excellent video and history lesson Mr Boogie. I can just imagine a V2 on a rake of Gresley coaches heading north on the Master Cutler to Sheffield back in the day. Excellent video as always Mr Boogie 🤓
Great video.
Looking forward to the Rhine valley video! I have travelled that route both on a river cruise and on the old slow line between Koln and Frankfurt. It's very beautiful.
I have quite a backlog of material from recent trips. I think the Mosel valley will be ready soon. The Rhine will follow that.
Great video!
Great video!
Many thanks for this! I used to live in Cologne in the 1980s and loved exploring the tram network. I think I still have the network map from that time.
Great video of the tram system. So many European countries have a far better integrated public transport system that puts us to shame. 🤓 🤔
@@deauvilledad07 While Cologne‘s transport is well integrated, as is all of Germany‘s transport, the light rail system the city has is flawed in many ways and ideally shouldn‘t have even been built the way it is today. A full-size metro complemented by trams would‘ve been better.
Thanks for the video and reviving my memories of Köln.
Very nice
Not travelled by train for years. Leicester to st Pancras was a regular journey in those days. Rail strikes drove me off using trains, but i still miss the peaks.
Excellent little film Mr Boogie, nice to see this steam operation. Can't wait for the next episode. Well done 🤓
And pretty much all locos are 100 years old at least which makes The IOM Steam Railway all that more special.
Great video
Great video. Something different.
Lovely video and Subject. What about was the Temperature that day?
Don't know. Probably about 14.
Great to see how the railway system works in other European countries. Nice video, well done 🤓
Great video.
The DB ICE trainsets appear to have very noisy driving cars compared to the other DB trains,or is it just my hearing?
Possibly something to do with the low speed. They seemed quiet when on the main line. Very similar to UK class 374.
Great video.
Nice series of videos. Great to see how other railway systems work throughout Europe. Well done Mr Boogie. 🤓
Great video
An interesting and informative series. Thank you.
More serious graffiti. Definitely worse than when I was there last. On the good side though, your video gives interesting views of the station complex and the Hohenzollernbrücke.
I visited Dusseldorf regularly between 2007 and 2014. This part of Germany seems very different now. Less well kept.
Shame that the Croxley Rail Link isn’t going to happen for a long time. Plus Chiltern Railways trains don’t stop at Moor Park but do stop at Rickmandsworth. Perhaps TfL should run a Metropolitan Line shuttle service from Amersham and Chesham to Watford using the unused branch line between Rickmandsworth and Croxley.
Great video.
Nice little film Mr Boogie. I guess the future would be hybrid trains, as for 4th rail hybrids who knows. Well done 🤓
Great video.
Nice video. The ICE 3M with the blue stripe is set 4601 named "Europa / Europe". The blue stripe is the blue EU flag.
Thank you for adding this information. Much appreciated.
Great video.
Some seriously nasty graffiti on the rolling stock, unfortunately. Definitely worse than it was about 12 years ago, when I used Köln Hbf. Thanks for these updates though.
Nice to see something local for once. I'm from a bit further up the line where sadly there's no trains any more :(
I have family in Buxton but we don't get up that way very often.
Excellent railway video Boogies Trains
Excellent video Mr Boogie, didn't realise Angel trains and National Express had operations on the European continent other that just in the UK. So that will give me some homework to do. Can't wait for the next episode. As always well done 🤓
Great video
Given the announcement about delays caused by track repairs I assume the second part of your video was filmed on a Sunday. Nice to know that they, too, are "sorry for the inconvenience caused"!
Some of my material was definitely on a Sunday, however I observed significant delays on ICE services from both the north and south at Cologne and Dusseldorf over several days. RB and RE services were also not as reliable as I would have expected 10 years ago.
Great video!
Great video!
Hey boogies trains we need to vistit to Nuremberg in germany pls
Not likely to happen soon I'm afraid. My next exotic trip away is to the Isle of Man. There are several more videos of the Rhine and Moselle area to come.
Good video as always. I have often been on Orpington to Victoria stoppers that get held up at Shortlands waiting for a fast to come through. When the delay is more than a couple of minutes, as was the case here, I wonder why the signallers don't let the stopper through and then put it in the loop at Kent House. Is it the result of pre-programmed signals and consequent absence of flexibility?
The stopper is occasionally allowed to go on and might be looped at Kent House or even Herne Hill. The latter is difficult because Thameslink is usually coming along soon and needs to be on time at Blackfriars.
