A Class 450 of South West Trains (450548) departs Feltham Station with a Waterloo to Weybridge service, passing under the footbridge beside the level crossing. These units, built by Siemens, are part of their Desiro range, the external appearance of which varies considerably from country to country. The footbridge looks to be of the standard Southern concrete design although the uprights supporting the stair sections have been replaced by modern block structures. The spire of the former St.Catherine's church provides an interesting backdrop.

A suburban electric multiple unit leaving Feltham station in West London. The train is starting to cross over a level crossing. The railway is electrified using the third rail system. There is a gap in the third rail where the railway crosses the road.

The level crossing barriers rise after the passage of a train into Feltham Station. Framed between the barriers is a H25 bus for Hatton Cross in the bus station that was built in the 1990's when the railway station was rebuilt. The service is operated by Abellio and the vehicle is a Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart. The lady in the bottom right of the photo amused me - having waited patiently by the barrier rather than using the footbridge, she ducked under the barrier as it was rising to hurry briskly across the railway line.

A Reading service departs platform 2 over the level crossing on Bedfont Lane. The train is made up of Class 458 Juniper units (numbers 8030 and 8015). Made by Alstom, they entered service between 1998 and 2002. Currently 4-Car units, during 2013 they will be modified using vehicles from the similar class 460 units that have been withdrawn from their Gatwick Express duties to become 5-Car units. Originally opened in 1848, Feltham Station was significantly rebuilt in the 1990's. It is interesting to compare this view with Malc McDonald's Image from 1990.
