Southeastern – Hayes to Charing Cross | 42m

Join me for a full journey onboard Southeastern from Hayes railway station Hayes to Charing Cross railway station Charing Cross. This return journey from the Hayes branch heads north-west through suburban South East London, calling at stations including New Beckenham, Catford Bridge and London Bridge before continuing into central London via Waterloo East and terminating at Charing Cross. The route provides a good contrast between quieter suburban branch line operation and the busy central London approaches into one of the capital’s major Southeastern termini. Filmed in 8K 360 on an Insta360 X5 & reframed to 4K 16x9 for an immersive ultra-wide viewing experience. 🚆 Route: Hayes → West Wickham → Eden Park → Elmers End → Clock House → New Beckenham → Lower Sydenham → Catford Bridge → Ladywell → London Bridge → Waterloo East → Charing Cross ⏱ Official journey time: 42m 🎥 Actual rolling time: 40m 22s Filmed on services operated by Southeastern.
