I was long overdue a trip somewhere on the East Coast Mainline to a small station to film the fast services pass through, so thought I'd try a new station for me which was Biggleswade. To the North it's on a long straight section so you can get great shots of approaching trains and to the South a steady sweeping bend which is also pretty good because they glisten in the winters sun. Some incredible speed displayed in this video, every passing train must be doing full line speed 125mph or very close to it lets say!
*I have also included the services which stop, so there are some shots of Great Northern 365's, 321's & 317's arriving and departing too.
INCLUDES: Virgin East Coast HST's & 225's, Hull Trains 180, Grand Central 180's & HST and out of the blue a Cross Country HST! + A Virgin service operating with two East Midlands Trains powers with the VP-185 engines screaming. The Cross Country set was a complete surprise, had no idea it was around until it came hammering through. I can only assume it was on hire to Virgin for the short term.

A great station for filming, brilliant vantage points and some impressive passing speeds!
A word of warning the station staff were extremely rude. I'd been filming for over 2 hours when a member of staff appeared out of nowhere and told me I needed permission from Network Rail to film and I should have signed in before I started. I didn't even realise Biggleswade was a staffed station if I'm honest, but the staff that do work there are extremely rude so be prepared.

Thanks for watching!
