Trainspotting at Haddenham & Thame Parkway, CML - 10/2/18 [TSE S5E3]
Hi all and welcome to another video from TrainSpotEast where I am at Haddenham & Thame Parkway, where we see services from Chiltern Railways only.
Look out for
- Two Chiltern Short Sets
- A train that started at Rowley Regis
Haddenham & Thame Parkway is another brilliant station, the views are great and the frequency is fine, traction improved a bit with the addition of short sets, the vantage points are slightly one sided but shouldn't matter, it is worth doing this one if you haven't done so already, will return there.
P.s. You have to require permission before you begin as it is safety risk due to being a blackspot of incidents.

Hayfield is a village and civil parish in High Peak, Derbyshire, England, with a population of around 2,700. The village is 3 miles east of New Mills, 4.5 miles south of Glossop and 10 miles north of Buxton. Hayfield is located in the basin of the River Sett. The civil parish includes Hayfield village itself, the hamlets of Little Hayfield and part of Birch Vale, and a significant proportion of the Kinder Scout plateau.
The village is in the valley of the River Sett between the towns of Glossop, New Mills and Chapel-en-le-Frith. Anecdotally it is often described as being at the foot of Kinder Scout. Thirty of the 33 km² of the parish are within the boundaries of the Peak District National Park, including the hamlet of Little Hayfield. However, the village centre itself is not within the national park. The entire area is within the more loosely defined geographical area referred to as the Peak District.
The village is split into roughly two halves, intersected by the A624 relief road (locally referred to as the bypass although it goes through, rather than round, the village). One half contains the traditional village centre, including several shops, businesses, and St. Matthew's Parish Church, while the other half contains mostly dwellings along with a handful of businesses, the bus station and St. John's Methodist Church. The relief road was built to ease heavy traffic that once travelled through the narrow main streets of the village.
Northeast of the village lies Kinder Reservoir, within a short distance of the Kinder plateau. This controls the flow of the River Kinder, thereby avoiding the risk of flooding that had previously been a serious problem within Hayfield village, and which necessitated raising the height of the main street. The village has a cricket field where Hayfield Cricket Club play. The ground, next to the Royal Hotel, was purchased by the club in 1976 after famous ex-resident Arthur Lowe helped raise the necessary £5,000.
There are several natural springs within Hayfield village, some of which once supplied part of the village's water. These are no longer in active use, although are 'dressed' yearly in well dressing ceremonies. Although classed as being in the East Midlands, Hayfield is at the northern extremity of the region and falls more within the influence of Manchester and Stockport in North West England.
Hayfield is a popular walking and mountain biking centre; as well as being a traditional starting point for the ascent of Kinder Scout (traversed by the Pennine Way), the village lies directly on the Pennine Bridleway long-distance route (part of which follows the Sett Valley Trail). The village contains a high number of public rights-of-way, as well as bridleways, a legacy of the pre-industrial days, when they provided the only ways in and out of the area.
( Hayfield - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Hayfield . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Hayfield - UK

A Walk Around London's Marylebone Railway Station
London Marylebone Station, also known as London Marylebone is a central London railway terminus and London Underground complex. It stands midway between the main line stations at Euston and Paddington, about 1 mile (1.6 km) from each. Originally the London terminus of the former Great Central Main Line to Sheffield and Manchester, which was closed north of Aylesbury in 1966, it now serves as the terminus of the Chiltern Main Line route to Birmingham.
Marylebone is the Central London terminus for Chiltern Railways which provides a large number of commuter/regional services approximately due north-west principally along the M40 corridor to destinations in Buckinghamshire, parts of Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands.
Opened in 1899, it is the youngest of London's main line terminal stations, and also one of the smallest, having opened with half the number of platforms originally planned. It is also the only London terminal station to host only diesel trains, having no electrified lines. From 1967 for many years it was served only by diesel multiple-unit trains (DMUs). It now once again also sees locomotive-hauled trains daily.
Two new platforms were added in 2006 to accommodate increases in services and passengers. Marylebone is in Travelcard Zone 1.
The station stands just north of Marylebone Road, a straight thoroughfare through Marylebone, central London. It is in the northern Lisson Grove neighbourhood of the district in a northern projection of the Bryanston and Dorset Square ward immediately south of St Johns Wood. North-east is Regent's Park, north in a network of mostly residential streets is Lord's Cricket Ground and south, south-west and south-east are a mixed use network of streets including Baker Street which has notable shopping, entertainment and Madame Tussauds.

Chiltern Railways Class 68 to Haddenham & Thame Parkway! 6/1/16
1080p HD!
Onboard my first ever train hauled by a new class 68! At the moment the 17:21 from Marylebone to Banbury is the only passenger service a class 68 is used for. The train however was packed from Marylebone, what with it being a Wednesday rush hour. So unfortunately I didn't film the departure from London, but I filmed the departure from all other stations, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, and then the arrival at Haddenham & Thame Parkway,. Not much to see but the sound is great!
Thanks For Watching

National treasure, National Express celebrates 40 years
They've carried millions of us around the UK since 1972 and 40 years on National Express is still going strong -- so what are your memories of the iconic coach service?
Many of us have fond memories of taking a National Express coach as an excited child on a trip to the seaside, a student to our first day at Uni, as proud grandparents to visit our grandchildren for the first time, or an overnighter to meet the love of our life, some of us even met the love of our life while sitting next to them on a long coach trip!
And now this British institution, having carried generations of Brits the length and breadth of the country for holidays, day trips and visits to family and friends is celebrating 40 years of service to the British public.
The 'National' coach service was launched in 1972 with around 300 coaches in operation across the UK, and more than 13 million passenger journeys taken. But more than half of the network only operated on weekends and almost a quarter were only seasonal.
The most popular destinations back in the early 70s were London, Blackpool and Bournemouth and you could buy a tea and sandwich from the on board hostess. But coaches back then were uncomfortable for long distances and lack of climate control meant it could be very hot or extremely cold. Many of us will also remember having to hang on to the nearest town or village as there were no toilets on board!
Not that we cared -- millions of us relied on the National Express to get us around the nation and these journeys were much loved and looked forward to by British holidaymakers and day trippers alike.
Now, 40 years on, National Express coaches have travelled over 2 billion miles and despite improved train networks and domestic flights, us Brits still love a good coach trip, in fact we make more in 2012 than we did in 1972, with 17 million journeys now made every year.
London and Bournemouth are still two of the most popular destinations, but Bristol and Birmingham have dislodged Blackpool and Great Yarmouth from the top four. While back in '72 customers bought their tickets at bus stations, now half of sales are online, prices are still low though with fares starting from £4.
So as we celebrate 40 years of National Express, what are you memories of the iconic coach service?
UK: Class 68 locomotive powers into Oxford sidings having arrived from London Marylebone
Class 68 locomotive 68008 powers into Oxford sidings having arrived on Chiltern Railways train 1T54, the 1818 London Marylebone to Oxford.
Clip recorded 3rd August 2018.
Oxford is a city in the South East region of England and the county town of Oxfordshire.
The city is known worldwide as the home of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Buildings in Oxford demonstrate notable examples of every English architectural period since the late Saxon period. Oxford is known as the city of dreaming spires, a term coined by poet Matthew Arnold. Oxford has a broad economic base. Its industries include motor manufacturing, education, publishing and a large number of information technology and science-based businesses, some being academic offshoots.
Oxford railway station is half a mile (about 1 km) west of the city centre. The station is served by CrossCountry services to Bournemouth, Manchester Piccadilly and Newcastle, Great Western Railway (who manage the station) services to London Paddington, Banbury and Hereford and Chiltern Railways services to London Marylebone.
The present railway station opened in 1852. Oxford is the junction for a short branch line to Bicester, which was upgraded to 100 mph (161 km/h) during an 18-month closure in 2014/2015 – and is anticipated to be extended to form the planned East West Rail line to Cambridge. Chiltern Railways now connects Oxford to London Marylebone via Bicester Village, having sponsored the building of about 400 metres of new track between Bicester Village and the Chiltern Main Line southwards in 2014. The route serves High Wycombe and London Marylebone, avoiding London Paddington and Didcot Parkway. East West Rail is proposed to continue through Bletchley (for Milton Keynes Central) to Bedford, Cambridge, and ultimately Ipswich and Norwich, thus providing alternative route to East Anglia without needing to travel via, and connect between, the London mainline terminals.

The Class 68 is a type of mainline mixed traffic diesel-electric locomotive manufactured by Vossloh for Direct Rail Services in the United Kingdom. The design is derived from the Vossloh Eurolight, and Vossloh's product name is UKLight.
The Class 68 is a mixed-traffic locomotive intended for use on both passenger and freight trains. DRS has a contract with VSOE to provide locomotives for its Northern Belle service. DRS has indicated that the locomotives will likely be used on container traffic, and on Network Rail trains for which it is contracted to operate, but that they will not be used on nuclear flask trains, however they have been used on these numerous times.

Chiltern Railways is a British train operating company owned by Arriva UK Trains that has operated the Chiltern Railways franchise since July 1996. It operates commuter/regional rail passenger services from its Central London terminus at London Marylebone along the M40 corridor to destinations in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, as well as long-distance services to the West Midlands along two routes. Services on the Chiltern Main Line run from London Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, with some peak-hour services to Kidderminster.
Chiltern Railways also runs trains on the London to Aylesbury Line to Aylesbury (with some trains terminating at Aylesbury Vale Parkway instead), on the Princes Risborough to Aylesbury and Oxford to Bicester branch lines.
