Mar 15, 2019 · 28. When I am trainspotting i carry a notebook for quick scribbles but I mainly use a trainspotting app on my phone (that also has a record function for transcribing later if i'm trying to get a lot at once). The app i use is handy as it can handle multiple data sets at once and if i only get 1 carriage number of a set i will mark the set as seen.
Apr 6, 2017 · Hitchin is good for 'watching trains go by' (Slow Line platforms have clear view to Fast Lines in middle), and you can watch the junction work. Doncaster is unbeatable for variety of movements, where the 'action' rarely lets up. WCML. Stafford or Crewe. Rugby isn't as 'good' these days in my view.
Feb 4, 2013 · Location. London. Colton Junction is a great location. You get plenty there, East Coast HST's and 225's, Grand Central 180's and HST's, Cross Country Voyagers and HST's, First Trans Pennine Express 195's, Northern Rail 142's 150's and 158's. You also get quite a bit of freight, including a Colas 66 and sometimes test trains and light engine ...
Apr 22, 2017 · Lancashire. Newport is a decent place for 66's 70's class 143/150/158/170/175. HST's you also get the odd class 60 tug and Colas 47/56 on the rare occasion. Cardiff is the best for 142's and 143's and 150's and I prefer to call it an healthy obsession as I like pacers myself. Bristol Temple Meads is the place for 150's 153's 158's and HST'S ...
Aug 24, 2010 · 12,857. 91107 said: Apparently Leyland is good, pretty much all the traffic you'd find at Preston but most just speed straight through, linespeed through Leyland is 125mph. Except for the freight which chuggs through Cherry Tree en-route Blackburn-Preston, suprisingly a lot. 25 Aug 2010.
Nov 23, 2022 · Look for a good used Panasonic GX-8. Expect to pay about £350-£400 for the body. The kit lenses (the one that was bundled with the camera) are mostly ok and usually very cheap. They also make a budget 45-200mm zoom that you can pickup for about £150.
Jan 8, 2023 · 844. Location. Telford. Hello there everyone, I was just wandering what your opinions are on the best trainspotting station in the UK (not including locations E.G you could have Barmouth but not Barmouth Bridge.) In my opinion it is Dawlish Warren as you get a good variety train classes + an opportunity to get overtaking shots.
Jul 25, 2012 · BLACKPOOL. Trainspotting is the number 1 thing people are ashamed to admit above anything else. It's because the average response you'd get from most people is horrendous. However if I wasnt into trains I probably wouldnt have this job now that pays £30k basic or £50k with overtime, and had this just 2 years into my working career.
