TRAINS at PETERBOROUGH. 30°C Heat, Delays, Freight & Non Stop ECML Action! 07/07/26

🚆 The East Coast Main Line at its busiest... despite major disruption!

Join me at Peterborough Railway Station on Tuesday 7th July 2026, where I spent over four hours (12:20–16:20) filming one of Britain's busiest railway hubs during an exceptionally hot 30°C summer's day.

The extreme temperatures weren't the only challenge. Power supply issues north of London King's Cross resulted in cancellations, delays and late-running services throughout the afternoon, yet Peterborough still delivered an incredible variety of railway action.

With freight, high-speed expresses and regional services all sharing the East Coast Main Line, there's never a dull moment.

⭐ Highlights include:

🚆 LNER Azumas
🚆 Hull Trains Class 802 Paragons
🚆 Lumo Class 803
🚆 Grand Central Class 180 'Adelante'
🚆 InterCity 225 (Class 91 & DVT)
🚆 Freightliner Class 66s
🚆 DB Cargo Class 66s
🚆 GBRf Class 66s
🚆 Class 70 Freightliner
🚆 Network Rail DR75302
🚆 East Midlands Railway Class 158 & Class 170

A special bonus is arriving into Peterborough on LNER Azuma 800208, after travelling down from Grantham—with that Grantham video coming next Friday!

If you enjoy fast passenger trains, heavy freight, unusual workings and plenty of East Coast Main Line action, you're in the right place.
