Thank you finally someone who agrees the trains in the UK suck DVT hst and 377 electrostars what kind of locos are they it's just BS but a train like this fast beastly and beautiful

SupaHotFire i love these locos. I cant stop watching them on youtube.I would love to see them in reality. what a delight if these were running on british shores. As they are electrifying the western region, these locos would be idea for use in a push pull formation like the RailJet fleet in Austria. Like you said I think we have lost it when comes to railways in the UK

I think that is beacause of the policy to change from classic tracion (loco hauled trains) to EMU / DMU sets. A lot of Brits are visiting Romania and other Central / Eastern Europe countries to see our remaining trains...

mureseanu976 I agree with you. its a shame many countries have gone down the route of DMU's and EMU's. I hope countries like Austria will continue to stick with loco hauled trains. Not only are they more interesting but also dynamic as they can be used for freight and passenger services

Patrick Johnson Most of the locos used in Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania are more likely universal. But the decline of passengers forced companies to cut through budgets, withdraw high consuming consist and replacing them with cheap plastic crap DMU / EMU which can't be compared with classic locos in various accidents / crashes. A recent bloody lorry and train crash killed both the train driver and the lorry one. The lorry was completely destroyed and caught fire, the locomotive has a crashed cab but the chassis is intact like it was built back in 1970's. Imagine that accident repeating with an EMU consist, the death toll could increase since passengers aren't protected by the distructive force...
