The MerlinTransport YouTube Channel

[MerlinRail 804]

My YouTube channel is called MerlinTransport (the username difference is to do with the character limit on here). I mainly upload trainspotting videos, with some buspotting too. My latest video is Trains at Retford, the first upload to be filmed on my new, much heavier camera (before I was filming on my phone). As a result, it’s a bit more shaky than before, but I’m working on it!
I aim to upload around 0900 every Sunday, but this may not always happen!
Here’s Retford:

Also, if you have a suggestion for somewhere for me to visit, you can suggest in this google form.

This week's video is a bit of a filler while i work on my next Trains at video which will be Gatwick Airport.
Here's the first refurbished 168, 168003, reversing at Princes Risborough on Monday 09/09/24:

This week’s video is at Gatwick Airport (strictly trains only though). It’s also my longest video yet, and I definitely want to keep going with these longer style videos.

Yesterday’s video was Sudbury Hill Harrow on the Chiltern Mainline.
Not much variety but plenty of fast trains around.
This one was filmed on my new camera so still a little shaky

Today, Manchester Oxford Road, packed full of trains, delays, and fun facts. Filmed with the new camera, so sorry for the shakiness!

Wi-Fi issues made this a bit late, but HD is now ready, with 4K currently processing.
Burnham, with plenty of variety to enjoy, though I couldn’t find many facts to talk about, so a bit empty in that respect!

Wi-Fi issues again made this one a bit late, but Gerrards Cross is now up.
One of the hottest days of the year, filmed on my phone, leaving one more to go from this era. Enjoy!

This weeek: Hadley Wood. Great variety, an unexpectedly high number of tones, and some slightly rarer finds. Enjoy!

I’M BACK!!!
Today is 2024's roundoff - UK Trains at Speed 2024! A collection of the fastest, most powerful, and slightly slower, trains I've seen this year, including those from videos yet to be released. Enjoy the speed, the thrash, and the thrill of trains rushing up and down the West Coast, East Coast, Chiltern, and Brighton Mainlines, and the best freight, railtour, and RHTTs of the year! Enjoy, and here's to 2025!

This week: Manchester Victoria
One of the first to be filmed on my new(ish) camera, way back in August, so not the best filming I’ve done. Bit of variety, but a lot of history. Enjoy!

Today: Sydenham
Fairly bog standard really, just the usual Electrostars and Desiro Cities doing their thing. Very busy though. Enjoy!

 

[MerlinRail 804]

Today: Euston
A freezing Saturday packed with everything there is to see in terms of WCML passenger operation, including GWR Diversions. Enjoy!

I was very busy over March so didn’t really have the time to make a video. Back again now though, today at Kings Sutton. Good variety of passenger and freight, and an RHTT too. Enjoy!
