An excellent morning spent at Stafford on the West Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from Cross Country, Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern Railway and freight from DB Cargo UK, GBRF, DRS and Freightliner.

The bulk of the freight can be found towards the later end of the film.

Stafford station is a fairly large station and is used as a junction station for traffic travelling all over the country. Services from this station serve Manchester, Liverpool, Crewe and stations to the South of England. There are two lines meeting at this station, the main branch of the West Coast Mainline that goes via the Trent Valley and the second section that takes the line through the heart of Birmingham which allows for greater connections from Birmingham New Street.

The station was opened by the Grand Junction Railway in 1837. This was the first station to be built on the site, however it soon became inadequate because of the amount of passengers and trains using the station which then meant that a second station was built in 1844 which was then superseded by another station in 1862. Eventually all three getting replaced by the current station in 1962 to follow the modernisation of the West Coast Mainline.

The second part will be out in a few days and has a great variety of traffic coming through.
