*Season 4* Trains at: Colchester - GEML - 20/10/18

Hello and welcome all to the first video of my 'Trains at' Season 4 which is from Colchester located on the Great Eastern Mainline between Marks Tey and Manningtree.

Note - Apologies for the very late upload due to me being busy.

I found Colchester to be a great station to start off the season. I choose the station as I am trying to complete spotting all of the GreaterAnglia EMU's and I wasn't disappointed. Due to the Southend Line being shut for Overhead Line replacement, that meant that extra carriages where put on Clacton-on-sea, Colchester Town and Ipswich services which was a fantastic bonus. The views from the platforms are very good mostly from the end of Platform 5/6. There was one problem however it was resolved quite quickly. The first Clacton - London service was cancelled between Colchester and London due to staff shortages. It did block my views slightly but the train was eventually moved to the depot. The range of traction was good with 3 freight services, one being a Class 70, and I also got a few good tones. Another bonus was the Anglia RHTT set formed of a DRS 37 and 57. Overall, I would definitely recommend this station.

Includes:
GreaterAnglia: Class 360's, 321's, 90's & 82 DVT's
Freightliner: Class 66's & 70
DRS: Class 37 & 57
