It’s the 2 x 3 car class 323221/222 that were previously allocated to WMR - West Midlands Railway 🚃 that happened from around 1994 to Sunday 29th September 2024. The 3 car class 323s were very good 😊 😌 👍 being used in the West Midlands area in central England 🏴 is because they are second generation EMU - Electric ⚡️ Multiple Unit trains 🚂 🚊 🚊 that are very smooth and comfortable inside the trains 🚂 🚊 🚆. In fact, it’s nice 👌 😊 👍 and warm inside the 3 car class 323s. I suppose perhaps 🤔 it’s a shame 😳 that WMR - West Midlands Railway 🚃 had previously withdrawn the class 323s is because they were trustworthy trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 in the world 🗺️ 🌏 🌍 🌎 good 👍 and I think 💭 🤔 it’s time 🕰️ to move on. Class 323s has comfortable seats 💺, open windows 🪟, automatic operating doors 🚪, no smoking 🚭 accommodation is because it’s prohibited 🚫 on all trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 , trams 🚃 🚈 🚊 , cable cars 🚡 🚠 , taxis 🚖 🚕 , boats 🛶 🛥️ 🚤 railway 🚃 stations 🚉 , inside the buildings and other enclosed public places around the world 🗺️ 🌎 🌏 🌍 , luggage 🧳 rack, a toilet 🚻 🚽 🚾 , gangway within unit, bins 🗑️ 🚮 and are now currently used for NT - Northern only in the north of England 🏴 that runs from the city 🏙️ of Manchester to these places. Both train 🚊 🚆 🚂 companies NT - Northern and WMR - West Midlands Railway 🚃 have run its services everyday including public holidays except Christmas 🎄🎅 🧑🎄 🤶 Day and Boxing 🥊 Day. Class 730 trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 has previously replaced class 323s and 17 out of 26 of the 3 car class 323s have been transferred to NT - Northern joining other 17 x 3 car class 323s that have been there since birth is brand new 🆕. By around perhaps 🤔 the date 📅 📆 Monday 31st December 2040 (New 🆕 Year’s Eve) 🎈 🎉 🥳, all DMU - Diesel ⛽️ Multiple Unit trains 🚊 🚆 🚂 will be removed from England 🏴 , Wales 🏴 and finally Scotland 🏴 and replaced by EMU - Electric ⚡️ Multiple Units which it’s good 👍 😊 😌 . On Thursday 3rd 🥉 May 2029, if Labour wins its election 🗳️, it will return back to BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail which it’s good 👍 😊 😌 . It’s been privatised since bank 🏦 holiday Monday 1st 🥇 January 1996 (New 🆕 Year’s Day) 🎉 🎈 🥳 🧨 🎆 🎇 💥 ❗️ ‼️. It’s the end of an era for class 323s that previously been used for WMR - West Midlands Railway 🚃. 👍 😆 😁 😄 😃 😀
I used to go down Ashford Steam Centre which was part of the old railway works. Mr Esmond Lewis Evans had his steam engine there 01 class No65 leaf springs on the upper part of the tender. There was a turntable you could turn by hand a steam crane i used to operate a great place. It kept me off the streets and out of trouble with the police. Use to watch the fly shunting at night before steam up day on the Sunday once a month. Good memories which I will always have and it gave me a sense of discipline. No body ever worked as hard as those men building steam engines God bless them all and the generations before them that made England great. Its a sad shame the nothing stays the same. Very good video thank you.
