Trains at Kew Gardens railway station (London) as filmed between the 1990s and 2024
Services at this station are provided by both the Main Line railway (British Rail / Network Rail - London Overground North London Line) and the London Transport / Underground District line.
The film includes
*Class 313 trains in Network SouthEast livery,
*What I think was the North London Lines Harlequin logo
*Three, four and five coach London Overground Class 378 trains in the original Overground livery,
*D stock trains in London Transport / Underground original unpainted and Corporate liveries
*S Stock trains (S7 variant) - the daily preview train to Plaistow when these trains were brand new plus more recent footage,
*London Overground Class 710 trains
Many train passes with the different types of trains (except the 710s)
The 1990s footage also includes the banner signal - in action. Alas but this is not seen in the more modern footage. This signal is on the platform used by trains going to Richmond and you need to be near the back half of the train to see it.
2010 footage also includes me being chastised for using a camcorder - this was after the station had been taken over by London Underground - maybe I was just lucky but I never had this hassle when this station was managed by British Railways. Fortunately I found a way to get the footage I wanted without invoking the ire of the station staff. Its very likely that this also helps explain why I did not get to film the newer LED banner signal in action.
Enjoy
