It’s been my 1st experience doing any train spotting at West Ham but I managed to see a good amount of variety in the time I spent there plus it was a positive that I managed to see some c2c units supporting their Great British Railways livery and some c2c 720’s making an appearance whilst I was there which is always good to see each time I tend to do any train spotting on the c2c mainline.

My next station will be Barking which is situated on the London, Tilbury & Southend Mainline and also a part of the Goblin line as well it’s been quite a long while since I last did any train spotting there but I always enjoy spending time doing any train spotting there so until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
