Manchester Victoria to Scarborough Driver's Eye View with voiceover commentary
This route learning/driver's eye view video takes us from Manchester Victoria to Scarborough. It's shot in 2.7k which makes for a better viewing experience than my previous videos.
I also decided to do something a little different to what I've done before and do voiceover instead of captions for certain lineside features.
FAQs:
- The train is a Class 185 Diesel Multiple Unit
- The speed shown in the bottom right hand corner is the line speed, not the current speed
- No, I can't show the current speed
- The speed shown is in Miles Per Hour, because that's what we use in the UK
Trains at: Manchester Victoria, 07/12/19
An excellent afternoon spent at Manchester Victoria station where we see endless services from Northern, Transpennine Express and a rail tour worked by DB Cargo UK.
Manchester Victoria was opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway in 1844. Most of the original station still stands. When the station was opened it was served by two railway companies, the parent company the Manchester and Leeds Railway and the Liverpool to Manchester Railway. In 1845 the Manchester and Leeds Railway became part of the Grand Junction Railway which eventually became part of the London and North Western Railway in 1846. In 1847 the Manchester and Liverpool Railway became the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway to which they then moved their headquarters to Manchester Victoria.
In 1865 the station saw the introduction of four bay platforms were built on the eastern side that used to be home to a cemetery that was moved to another area of the city, there was another platform built on the western side. There was also second through platform built because the station only had one and at the time was served by 6 different companies so space was becoming a bit of a premium. Trains were running from Victoria to London and Glasgow.
20 years later the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway brought the workhouse North of the station and used the sight to build another new bay platform and five through platforms which came into use by 1884.
In 1904 the station was at its biggest with 17 platforms gracing it.
The station wasn't just handling passengers traffic it was used for parcel traffic and the deliverance of newspapers. From 1895 to 1940 there was a overhead parcels carrier that would be used to lift parcels and transport them across the station.
During the Manchester Blizt of WW2 the station was constantly under heavy bombardment and was hit several times by high explosive bombs resulting in the destruction of the parcels office and a large chunk of the station roof, the parcels office was rebuilt but the damaged section of the roof wasn't replaced and instead just simply removed.
Platforms 1 - 4 In the 1970's were shut because there had been plans for a new rail tunnel linking Piccadilly to Victoria, however the costs began to spiral out of control and instead proposals were put forward for a light rail transit system to be put in place which is eventually what happened and is now the home to the Metrolink system running across the city. The Metrolink system opened in 1992.
In the 1980's and 1990's British Rail had adopted a policy of trying to focus the bulk of the train services running into Piccadilly, in 1989 the Windsor Link Chord was opened in Salford which enabled a lot of the trains running from the north to go straight to Piccadilly and miss Victoria, in the same year the Transpennine services were also diverted which meant that the station was eventually reduced to just 6 working platforms and some of the site was sold off for development between 1992 and 1994.
In 2009 Victoria was identified as the worst interchange station because of its poor appearance and overall condition. The Secretary of State at the time had named Victoria along with nine other stations to have a share of £50 million which would go towards getting the station revamped. But in 2010 the funds were withdrawn from the budget and Network stepped up with the funds to get the station back into shape and look appealing for the passengers that would use the station, the improvements carried out by Network Rail included: A new roof, restoration of the station walls, exterior canopy and facades along with new finish facilities and better accessibility getting into and out of the station.
Last year the station took 8.2 million passengers.
My next station is Leicester on the Midland Mainline.

Manchester Victoria from above 1991
Elevated views of the east end of Victoria station. Work has already begun on making way for the Metrolink platforms, opened a year later, but more drastic changes would come from 1993 onwards. Notably, the building of the Nynex Arena (now the MEN Arena) would obliterate most of the through platforms, and in 1998 the Cheetham Hill loop would be abandoned and Victoria East Junction signal box demolished. Industry around Red Bank later gave way to the so-called Green Quarter and the well-known landmark of Boddington's brewery vanished in 2007.

This journey cost a mild £6.50 for me and my friend. Very cheap and a great journey. If first class is not full, you can sit in first class for no extra cost as no one asks for tickets.
