An excellent and somewhat complicated afternoon spent at the UK's busiest railway station outside of London. Birmingham New Street where we see plenty of services from Virgin Trains, London Midland, Cross Country and Arriva Trains Wales.

Originally the filming was going rather well until I was told by one of the station staff that I now need to sign in at the Network Rail office to be allowed to film at the station which I wasn't aware of seeing as every time I've been there in the past I haven't experienced any issues with the staff at all, and then on top of that during the later stages of the film I discover that at Berkswell someone was unfortunately hit by a train which in turn caused a million delays and cancellations which forced me to end the film early and then spend the rest of the day trying to get back home, so what I ended up doing was taking a London Midland Turbostar to Rugeley Trent Valley where I then took a London Midland 350 to Rugby where I then caught a connecting service to Northampton by which time the line had been cleared and most of the services were back to the normal timetable.

But either way I really enjoyed my time here and I do encourage anyone who has not been here before to give it a try, believe me you won't be disappointed.

My next station is Birmingham Moor Street on the Chiltern Mainline.

You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, photos and videos from all of my goings on throughout 2016, thank you all very much for watching and take care.
