Old and new on Britain's railways. The railway is in a constant state of change. What is common place one day soon becomes history. This channel is my attempt to record the everyday ordinary before it disappears. I am based in the London Borough of Bromley so my main focus is the London area. The back catalogue charts the changes over the past seven years and also looks further back to the 1970s when I was taking 35mm slides. There are also mini series about the history of the early railways around London and how they are used today. I publish regular new videos so it is always worth coming back to this channel. It is even easier if you subscribe and ask UA-cam to notify you when a new video is published. The big story over the next couple of years is likely to be the introduction of new rolling stock and the cascading of the older generation to new duties. HS2 and other major projects will also feature as they become more visible.
Boogies Trains in: The Rhine Gorge - May, 2024 - Part One
The next film from my visit to Germany is the start of the cruise through the Rhine Gorge from Koblenz to Rüdesheim. In this episode we get as far as Loreley via Boppard.
From the river it is possible to observe trains on both the left and right bank routes. The left bank route still has a regular flow of passenger trains plus freight. The right bank has a local passenger service and a steady flow of freight.
The next episode will continue the journey upstream.

It must be quite relaxing watching the world float by whilst engaging in your hobby. Nice to see that the railways of Europe aren't all block trains and run some mixed freight as well. Well done Mr Boogie 🤓
The cruise was fantastic. Great scenery, interesting visits and good food. Very comfortable cabins and trainspotting thrown in at no extra charge. We have been trying to go for years. Eventually swallowed hard and paid Riviera Travel. Worth every penny.
@@BoogiesTrains glad you enjoyed it. 🤓
Good video with an interesting variety of trains. Nearly every shot must give ideas to a continental railway modeller!
Nice train video capture
Great video.
Great video.
We were there from 12th to 19th June - a return trip 50 years after our honeymoon there! We went up Snaefell on 17th, and to Ramsey and back on 18th. We used "Go" cards which give unlimited travel on all forms of transport across the island for a set number of days. We also went on several buses, the steam train and the horse tram!
Looks like you had a good time on the IOM . We're you there for their transport week? As you can book on tours around all the workshops. Hope you said hello to the Faries!
It was just a random few days on the island. Not aware of any special transport events but we did say hello to the fairies.
@BoogiesTrains well worth looking into it. Did not do this year. But done 2022 & 2023. Visit included Douglas shed on the steam railway. On the electric railway. Derby Castle and Laxey Shed. Also, Snefell Shed on the mountain line. Did a bus tour round the remaining stations on the closed Manx Northern lines to Peel and Ramsey. Plus, there are other bits. You need to contact the Tourist Office to see what they are doing next year. Think you will enjoy it.
Now that's a bit different. Nice to see how the trams work. As you say OK in the tourist season but must make a bit of a loss when they've all gone home. Well done Mr Boogie 🤓
They don't run between November and March.
@aimdrummer. I didn't realise that. Makes sense. We took the bus back from Ramsey to Douglas as my back wasn't up to the hard ride all the way in one go.
Another excellent video from Boogies trains. Nice to see mixed freight trains. A thing now missing on the railways in this country. A lot of research must have gone in to these videos so you can bring us the super commentary. Well done 🤓
To be honest, most of the research is done after I have captured whatever I was able to get. The main focus of the trip wasn't the trains so filming was just an add on. Really enjoyed it. The volume of freight on the Rhine lines is astonishing. Distance and volume means that the railway is much more relevant for freight in Europe than in the UK.
Mr Boogie, you're rerunning all my German holidays! As a rail enthusiast it's amazing to watch the sheer volume of traffic on the Rhine/ Moselle tracks, particularly the vast amount of freight compared to GB; not forgetting the river borne freight either.
Great video
A great slide show. It will be interesting to see how the North Bound Views at Euston is transformed during and after the completion of HS2.
Great video Mr Boogie, yes back in the 70's when I worked on Euston it was very much the same. Disruption to the service was swift to impact on the daily routine of the station. The need for loco changes was eradicated when the DVT sets were introduced. Nice video, stay safe 🤓
thanks for this film. Am nearly finished Acton Wells and in process of building the fiddle yard and need stock now to run. Caroline
The fact that there was a timeline that is not far from here that the class 375 and the other Electrostars would all look like the class 357
Great video.
Excellent video from the Mosselle valley. Nice to see trains in such beautiful scenery. Well done Mr Boogie, looking forward to the next episode. 🤓
Yet another excellent video of this beautiful area of Germany.
Bro, ur at Stratford at the beginning stupid
No need to be rude. The film starts at Stratford but that isn't the point of it.
@@BoogiesTrains oh
Great video.
Lived at Hither Green and heard the railway sounds quite often. Loved the DEMU units thundering threw and the announcements from the station
Theres something special about Kings Cross
There certainly is. I have loved the place since I first visited in 1971
Nice little film Mr Boogie. A 30 minute service to Edinburgh would have seemed impossible to operate years ago and whilst it's OK when it's all going well but it rapidly turns to something else when it doesn't. Nice video, well done 🤓
Great Northern should receive the Class 379s from storage that are replacing some of the Class 387s to Southern or Southeastern. And some Class 387s that are on hire from GWR to head back to Great Western Railway. Since Great Northern and Porterbrook decided to buy the Class 379s that were previously used on Greater Anglia and Stansted Express.
Nice railway video Boogies Trains
Great video.
Awesome capture
Great video!
You are making me envious. 😂
Excellent video Mr Boogie. Seeing the railway from a different viewpoint is amazing. Great to see the line is very busy with a bit of freight thrown in for good measure. Well done 🤓
Thanks for this video. Brings back happy memories of holidays spent in the towns and villages along this line between Trier and Koblenz.
I do like Moor Park. It’s got that quiet feel to it as it’s only few miles from Watford and Rickmandsworth. And is close to the Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire border.
I like hearing the announcements on your videos, all part of the atmosphere. But this station seems particularly blighted by them at times
Clear and informative. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
As always a excellent video and history lesson Mr Boogie. I can just imagine a V2 on a rake of Gresley coaches heading north on the Master Cutler to Sheffield back in the day. Excellent video as always Mr Boogie 🤓
Great video.
Looking forward to the Rhine valley video! I have travelled that route both on a river cruise and on the old slow line between Koln and Frankfurt. It's very beautiful.
I have quite a backlog of material from recent trips. I think the Mosel valley will be ready soon. The Rhine will follow that.
Great video!
Great video!
Many thanks for this! I used to live in Cologne in the 1980s and loved exploring the tram network. I think I still have the network map from that time.
Great video of the tram system. So many European countries have a far better integrated public transport system that puts us to shame. 🤓 🤔
@@deauvilledad07 While Cologne‘s transport is well integrated, as is all of Germany‘s transport, the light rail system the city has is flawed in many ways and ideally shouldn‘t have even been built the way it is today. A full-size metro complemented by trams would‘ve been better.
Thanks for the video and reviving my memories of Köln.
Very nice
Not travelled by train for years. Leicester to st Pancras was a regular journey in those days. Rail strikes drove me off using trains, but i still miss the peaks.
Excellent little film Mr Boogie, nice to see this steam operation. Can't wait for the next episode. Well done 🤓
And pretty much all locos are 100 years old at least which makes The IOM Steam Railway all that more special.
Great video
Great video. Something different.
Lovely video and Subject. What about was the Temperature that day?
Don't know. Probably about 14.
Great to see how the railway system works in other European countries. Nice video, well done 🤓
