That was absolutely outstanding there, 125 mph through Didcot amazing, would it be alright if I can use this video in my HST memorial video I will leave a link to your channel
Rare footage. Probably the only time a Class 87 has worked a passenger train on the Great Eastern Mainline. 85 101 (formerly 85 006) did work a charter train to Walton-on-Naze once, that I was on.
Those trains are the best ever which should run serving all stations in the United Kingdom except Scotland and Wales for a good certain amount of years
I tell you what, DB should do an engine swap with the DB BR 218's, and use the TB11 engines inside the remaining HST's to make them sound more like a Valenta!
I'm pretty sure that two TMST power cars _plus_ 6x MSOs _could easily equal_ the TGV speed record being pushed *far* above the 600km/h mark... 🚄🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷💨💨💨💨💨😁❤🔥🤘
Fantastic video of a unique part of British railway history! :D I was just wondering, would it be possible for me to use this footage as part of an upcoming documentary I'm creating about the history of Motorail?
Hi Sans, incredible footage (especially for 2009!); I just wondered whether it would be okay to use some of this footage for a documentary-style video I'm planning on making about NXEA - with appropriate credit of course! Many thanks
Wow thanks for this I was there all The time and it seems like a few weeks ago… it’s 20 Years.. 2 decades Omg this is so surreal. Not much has changed it’s like life has been on hold But gotten worse since then. Costa on platform 1 I bet it’s still the same.. I could cry. Thanks 🙏
Hello Sans, brilliant video, I just wondered if I could use part of this video for a documentary I am making on Anglia- with appropriate credit of course! Many thanks
15 wagons, the permissible weight of a four-axle wagon according to UIC is 100 tonnes, so the weight of the train without locomotives is a maximum of 1500 tonnes. I watch a lot of these UK railway videos and often see two locomotives for relatively light trainsets, what is the reason for this?
Wish that Siemens would have built more Class 360/1s that would be used on other routes including on the Southend Victoria line and West Anglia main line. But now they are with East Midlands Railway.
I've never heard of The Chairman's Train before, how stylish. There's pictures of the interior online. ♥ the 37 called Flopsie after Jeremy Hosking's mother
Just found this. Great memories, I can almost smell the exhaust. Travelled many excursions in the seventies. Living near Birmingham my favourite ride home was either Hatton or Lickey banks with head out the window, just like that. Happy days 😊😊😊😊😊
I've watched all the rest but this is by far the best ,no throttle off driver just keeps it "nailed wide open," Bravo Sir.👌👍Luckily it was being filmed so thankyou.👍
