The Amazing North London Area for Freight trains, but was Frustrating at times.
Started filming mid morning all was going great until I wanted to venture over to Kensington Olympia to pick up a TnT class 37 working with a class 701 unit.
The driver of the train said SORRY I have been told this train is now termination at Willesden Junction, so I missed them 37s.
Would you believe it, It only happen again in the afternoon when I went to get the return working of the class 37s, but this time the driver said I'm only going as far as Kensal Rise, and said that word that makes every delay to trains ok "SORRY"
I think the problem they haven't got enough drivers to cover the afternoon diagrams because its the holiday season.
The footage includes attempts to film a Class 37 operating with a Class 701 unit at Kensington Olympia, though the train terminated early at Willesden Junction and later at Kensal Rise. Several locations such as Brondesbury, Cricklewood, and Harlesden are featured, along with headcodes like 4L33 and 6M58. The video also highlights challenges in accessing certain services, possibly due to staffing issues during the holiday season.
