Ealing Broadway Contrasts Part 2

Using footage from the 1990's and 2010/2011 and split over 2 films the footage comprises of...

*class 117 diesel multiple unit trains,
*class 122 'bubble' railcars,
*class 253 High Speed trains (HST),
*class 165 diesel multple unit trains,
*class 332 Heathrow Express trains,
*class 360 Desiro Heathrow Connect trains,
*several freight / goods trains
*D78 subsurface London Underground stock,
*1992 Tube London Underground stock,

and more!

1990's footage of the 1st generation diesel multiple units and 'bubble' railcars is mostly in part 1 with a reprise in part 2.

Heathrow Express, Class 165 DMU's and the HST's are in both films.

Heathrow connect and most Underground footage is only in part 2.

Part 2 also includes information on the through Metropolitan District Railway trains to Windsor and the through 'Southend Corridor Express' trains which linked Ealing Broadway with the Essex / east coast town of Southend-On-Sea, and used toilets with retention tanks to avoid fouling the tracks whilst the train was travelling through the tunnels below Central London.

Alas the underground trains were not filmed in the 1990's (the District Line service was disrupted for a reason I no longer recall) - the videotape label said "BR done, LT to do" but I did not get around to returning to film the London Transport trains :-(

The films were split because of complaints over long films... total footage is about 26 minutes.

How do you interchange from the District line to the Central Line?

I agree with it entirely. I am hoping to visit Penzance on a high speed train sometime in 2012 and this busy suburban London station is one of many to be passed. Incidentaly, I used to board on the London Paddington-Greenford route a number of times in the late 1990s when travelling by train was so enjoyable for me.

This is not only a video posted on Youtube, it's a real well done documentary!

Very nice and well done, thanks for having posted it.

Thank you for uploading this two special videos. 5 Stars for this excellent compilation of good filmed footage. A lot of people don't realize that the the time you've filmed it there was no idea of nowadays electronic video editing.
