Class 701 Aventra , ride performance | Staines-Wraysbury+( SPEED/GPS-60mph) 

It was cute 😅😅😊😊she left her bag on the train though sadly. She called Wraysbury sainsburys🤣🤣🙆🤣🤣

Indeed, id love to see it. Or at least 90mph, something tells me 3nd a half minutes to100mph. Comparing it to other third rail acceleration

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 could be right though let’s be honest - it’ll rarely ever reach that high as most of the lines it’s set to be used on have lower line speeds

@@AnthonyFurnival i agree. Unless we see them sometimes go down via Winchfield someday. Or SWR decide to increase the speed limit on lines towards woking as a semi fast. Im very very convinced theyll be used outside of metro reigions in some due time. They have the facilities for it and the top speed. 455s dont so it makes sense that youd never see them get used elsewhere.

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 I don’t really see them being used outside of metro routes as SWR have sufficient stock to cover all other lines - that aside the internal configuration is very much geared towards metro routes - I.e lots of standing space

@@AnthonyFurnival yeah true, but i mean given that .they hit 100mph .have two toilets .chargers .plenty of seating .fast acceleration I believe they could easily be rotated via different routes. Class 458s sometimes get used as a semi fast or fast it would seem. Its like how 377s are a practically universal rolling stock. 701s could do what some 450s do on off peaks. I guess its also why 5 car 701s are being used on the outskirts of london apparently.

Made a typo so imma reuploaded it . Got the weight data wrong.

Wasnt even the best of the performance. This could have been on a gradient for all i know amd the driver wasnt always keen on going super fast. One things for certain. They have gentle yet fast acceleration. Its hard to explain. You dont get shot backwards but yet still it gets to speed fast. It likely is 0.7m/s²

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 Wikipedia mentions the maximum is 0.9 while the "reduced" is 0.7

@@packkeysthomasshrimptonyeah, im refrencing the 0.7m/s² , most aventras are 0.9m/s² at full power. Class 720s are 0.8Xm/s².

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 10 seconds to 19 is about 0.9 m/s/s acceleration. 0.7 would be 10 seconds to 15 or so. Yours was on maximum current

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 I've done the calculation on that bit of footage (4:03) and taking into account it reaches around 6.3mph in about 3 seconds the "initial" acceleration would be around 0.94m/s^2, which we can round to 0.9m/s^2.

Yep, the 701 is quick. Only slightly behind a 465/9 from 0-50mph

It is indeed . They are pretty consistant. They start of fast then maintain a class 376 style acceleration around 50mph to 60mph. Go watch my other videos on class 376 to see what i mean.

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 I think they must be geared in a way which prioritises initial acceleration, due to their metro style operations. That would explain why the acceleration drops off a bit at, as you said around 50mph

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 Um... the 376 is actually quicker above 35mph when compared to a 701. The acceleration just drops off way less

@@SolomonClarkeTrains-nw1sf which shows something about what acceleration stats are reffering to. 376s only start of slow because of limited motors vs heavy body. The 701s gear to motor ratio actually goes slightly higher when i listen to the synch sound of the motor (701s are probably pre grared for 110mph) and i think 730s/2 will have the same exact sounds as these. 730/0s are lower geared (but sound better) Class 376s based on motor sound (conpared to other trains), sound like they are geared near 95mph to100mph exactly . Just lack dampers on the wheels to achieve it. The 376 Probably and i say probably, has the best gear to power ratio on third rail. As they dont seem to want to slow down after 60mph 🤣🤣 maybe better than met cams after 60mph (met cams being actually lower geared so it makes sense) their motor sounds indicate they have a much lower gear ratio despite the speed limitations on both.
