Trains At Speed
Ideally placed between Crewe and Warrington on the West Coast Mainline British rail network, Acton Bridge could easily be defined as the best trainspotting location in the British isles with the diverse freight and passenger trains hitting top permitted speed as they blast through the station.
In this video we will see 86 239 racing through with the 1Z86 to Carlisle, class 37 510 Orion opens the taps with a plastic drag. Intermodels are headed by DRS class 88 002 en route to Coatbridge, double headed class 90,s to Garston and a couple of class 66 workings. We finish on the station with a pair of DRS class 68,s from Sellafield.
We then move to the footbridge where GBRf 66,s cruise by to Ditton and Drax Power station,respectively before a quadruple class 90 heads to Garston. We then finish with a West Coast Railway railtour from Newport to Carlisle along with a generous sprinkling of 100 mph Pendolino,s that are nt documented.
A fantastic showcasing of this brilliant spot.
