'From the archives' - Episode 51: Trains at Birmingham New Street in September 2008

This video shows the result of an hour filming trains at Birmingham New Street station on 13th September 2008. In the video, we see a mixture of London Midland, CrossCountry and Virgin Trains services, with Voyagers, Class 170s, Pendolinos and Class 323s all featuring. Since this was filmed, Virgin Trains has faded into history, ceding to Avanti West Coast, the Virgin Voyagers have mostly transferred across to CrossCountry Trains and the Class 323s have started a new chapter with Northern Trains, with Class 730s now dominating the scene. Enjoy! About 'From the archives': This series will place a spotlight on the UK rail network between 2007 and 2012, showing trains, operators and scenes that, in many cases, have been lost to time over the past 18 years. All videos in this series was filmed with my old Panasonic DVD camcorder, so the quality will be lower than my more modern videos, but the footage still remains too good not to share! My aim is to release a weekly video from this series, so please stay tuned for dozens more videos in the future.
