I do miss these they were comfortable and warm in winter times

@barttheanorak 11 лет назад

You know I never thought I'd find myself missing the 312s - especially that lovely whistling noise they made as they approached at speed.

@9tigertankrhys 13 лет назад

great footage ,very hard to find videos of class 312's i allways remember travelling down to walton on the nase,great times

@rml2589 13 лет назад

Excellent footage!!! had completely forgotten some of those units made it into the First Great Eastern era.

I used to love leaning out of the window of a 312 when I was younger from Thorpe-le-Soken to Walton-on-the-Naze, shame most of them have now been scrapped

@Tepic 13 лет назад

That brought back some memories.

I loved these units when they ran on the LTS (now C2C). Only thing i could fault with this fine video is that you didn't keep a few seconds of these units ticking over whilst stopped...what a great sound that was.

The Last Class 312 was withdrawn from the East Anglia on 25th June 2004 & replaced Class 360 Desiro which was built between 2002-2003. I remember seeing the Class 312s I never been on them.

Thanks a lot Thatcher for messing about with our railways! If it wasn't for you then these would still be running today.

@Keithbarber 3 года назад

I'm surprised that in 3 years nobody has pointed out that Thatcher left office in 1990, and it was john major who privatised the railways in 1994, so you cannot blame Thatcher for the railways In fact she was reluctant to do so

I love train vids!!

@EM-yk1dw 9 лет назад

Had some very fast runs on these excellent and comfortable EMU stalwarts on the Great Northern. I was also on the farewell tour too.

@prof.hectorholbrook4692 3 года назад

Brilliant trains. Proper trains.

@daveattrill2712 10 лет назад

Great motor volume - I never saw one of these or the 310s in person but the only EMUs I know to be as loud are the class 321, plus the 508 and certain slam door southeastern ones. I have lived in Sheffield since the age of 7 but have ventured to electrified railway turns further afield from my late teens onwards, sometimes especially to ride these sorts of trains.

I had many childhood memories with these units. They still had years of life left in them when widthdrawn (in fact, some of the 313's are older). I also think that these are in many ways more comfier than the 360s that replace them! (and more characteristic).

@AdnamsBrewery 13 лет назад

Superb stuff. Great units that would have gone on and on.

@stephendines1936 5 лет назад

310 and 312 Units were the best ever built.

@bwarrrrk 13 лет назад

much better condition then the current 360s prefer these to 360s any day

@chrishare9179 9 лет назад

Used to travel to school in Colchester every day on these and also the class that they replaced....but can`t remember what class that was. Full of chain smoking London bound commuters :)

@flowergirl8815 8 лет назад

ah brings back memories when train travel was cheap. Not like now

@111672balernabz2010 7 лет назад

Pure class proper slam door stock emu units all plastic nowadays.

@Keithbarber 4 года назад

They are all made out of metal

@86501freightliner 12 лет назад

Finest units in Britain!

@NoddyMaccy 12 лет назад

I remember these bad boys!

@larasheart6579 8 месяцев назад

Were these trains gangway fitted when built

@TrainBusFan06 Месяц назад

Yes

@spark001uk 9 лет назад

Haha who threw that magazine at 1:10 ?!!

@390h8er 7 лет назад

We had a few of these around Birmingham till about 1997-98 (I think). Excellent units. Such a shame they went for scrap just because they were slam-door, they had a good 5-10 years left in them. EU and 'elf & safety' b***s**t no doubt!

@antfrench5655 6 лет назад

Agreed, great units! Actually their demise was thanks to the DDA and the Health and Safety Executive, not the result of EU law. It's still possible to use slam door-style units and non-'disability friendly' trains in other parts of Europe. There were a couple of nasty accidents too if I remember correctly where the inability to centrally lock meant more people were injured than necessary, so the HSE recommended replacing them.

@jaygordon6229 8 лет назад

lovely trains all scrapped before their time thanks to eu regulations and not a single 4car unit saved shambolic!

@JackFitzsimmonsZondaFan 6 лет назад

In the words of James May "Good news!" There's a class 312 unit that's at the Colne Valley railway in Castle Hedingham, Halstead, it's in the Network South East livery as well, hope this is helpful to you :-).

@JackFitzsimmonsZondaFan 6 лет назад

I don't know how many coaches it has though.
