Saturday June 29 2024 at 5.12 and 5.20. The first train of the day, empty coaching stock from Staines C.H.S (5.07) to Ascot (5.25) and then the first passenger train the 5.20 Staines to Reading (6.12) service. This may be the joint earliest train shown on this channel with a 5.12 train at Highams Park in 2023. I've filmed in Staines twice before at 6.55 in 2011 and at 6.30 in 2017 to avoid the traffic.    • Staines Level Crossing      • Staines Level Crossing   Very little has changed since 2011. The pedestrian stop line, vehicle stop line and the end of the yellow line all used to be lined up, now they aren't. After the crossing there used to be doubled up signs showing road hump and school on an island and on the pavement. One of the pavement signs has gone and the other has been turned. Decided it might be prudent not to film the police car.
