[PerryMason5410]

which station did u film this at and do you have any other good spottong locations?

[scottishrailways]

hillington west and carstairs.

the best place for freight is whifflet railway station . carstairs can be good at certain times

coatbridge central is also good but whifflet is no1 place for freight in scotland

A Small Station On The Shotts Line, Cleland, Frequently Has A Class 66 Pass Through Heading To Longannet Power Station From Hunterston. It Also Passes Through Holytown Were You'll Also Catch A Few Virgin Class 390 Pendolino's Passing :)

[321loverdesirohater]

You gotta love the class 66's

[scottishrailways]

yeah they are cool:P

[scottishrailways]

yeahh!:)

[MrBazzat11]

@321loverdesirohater There are a lot of rail enthusiasts who hate them.. mainly because they have taken over from the British classics like the C37, 46, 55 etc. But I guess thats progress for you & the C66 so far has been very reliable. Pity its not a British train...

[Throatmad2090]

3:12 :-O That is an enormous train WOW! I didn't think trains could be that long in this country, I thought they could only be that long in america.

[scottishrailways]

Aye it was long for sure:)

[cortexedge]

Why do they use diesel locos instead of an electric one?

[scottishrailways]

there is many non electrified lines still so diesel is best so it can go anywhere

[ervans]

Nice

[scottishrailways]

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

[halo3lad09]

[scottishrailways]

[peggey707]

great video, thanks for uploading

[scottishrailways]

your welcome mate cheers!:)

[CeTrains]

You may aswell have jumped on the intermodal train at 2:58 it was going so slow, who knows, you could have got a free trip to carlisle or something lol

[scottishrailways]

yeah i was thinkin about that well not doing it for real but u know what i mean lol

[CeTrains]

Hey mate, how do you get to Carstairs, I understand it is an extremely difficult station to get to by train, do you have a car or get a bus?

[scottishrailways]

hi mate:) its not for going by train anyways lol

7.05am north berwick train stops there and the other way from north berwick stops at carstairs around 8.30am dunno what time that starts at

afternoon is best tho 11am till 4pm for instance

tho last 2 visits i did morning time gettin that 7.05am train

going back i get the bus

its very easy really if u know how

[scottishrailways]

get the lanark train (from glasgow central low level) every 30 mins .then get the 137 bus from lanark bus station (its right next door to train station) costs £1.90 and takes around 15 mins there a bus stop right outside the station .. and going back as easy

[CeTrains]

well the bus would be free for me, cos i get that all Scotland free bus pass :D but thats a good plan, might do it one time...cheers for the info!

[scottishrailways]
