Thanks for the feedback! It comes round once a month so perhaps I'll ride again and record the full Town Centre to High Street journey!

I think it's such a fascinating story. I'm planning to cover more weird lines like it in the future!

The only routes I've been on that use the busway are the A, Z, F70 and F77. Always wanted to get the Hi, and also maybe centrebus' L route but I don't think that exists anymore!

It's so ugly. Worst thing in stevenage

It's the same design as all interchanges. Like Barnsley etc. Awful. Crime havens

The people who have built it are contracted to maintain it for 1 year, then after that, im assuming the council's main cleaning and maintainence town teams will clean it

I'm planning on doing a follow up video going further in depth, we only had an hour at the preview and I couldn't go into nearly as much detail on accessibility as I would have liked.

You are actually able to get to the new bus station from the bridge, there are stairs on the station side of the road, tesco side of the bridge, it would put you right near Stand L

Class 365's are rarely seen anymore, I was extremely lucky, 700's are thameslink semi-fast and stopper services, 717's are for the Hertford loop line service out of platform 5 to moorgate via Hertford North, and occasionally services to Ely do call at Stevenage on a normal day and, other trains do stop here such as LNER Class 800 and Class 225 Intercity (although the 225's are being phased out), as well as (very very rarely) Hull Trains Class 800's.

Yes they usually do but there were engineering works at kings Cross that day so there were no LNER services, which meant more other services than usual had to stop at Stevenage, including the King's Cross to Ely via Cambridge service.

@@375-Productions So Kings Cross is shut

@@375-Productions What happened to the Class 700s

@@lewisculverwellvlogs9789 no that was weeks ago, it is open again, but will be open and closed periodically over the next few months because major engineering works are taking place

@@lewisculverwellvlogs9789 because they were need more importantly south of the Thames, and because they were needed on the midland mainline, they were used there, and thats ultimately why the 365's were temporarily taken out of storage to be used on the East Coast mainline as thameslink and Great Northern substitute services

Is that when, when slowing down (braking) it sounds like an old DC train, compared to a non-regen 365, which in my mind was supposed to sound like a 365 AC iconic accelerating sound, but backwards???

@@375-Productions Other way around, the regenerative braking ones sound like the accelerating sound backwards. It is basically just a switch in the cab that turns it on or off, so that set could have it re-enabled easily. Its the same with the 465s

Ah yes I just watched the video back, I sorta noticed at the time but didn't think much if it, good to know!

@@375-Productions also funny you say this. I was on 365502/534 (the regen braking set in your video) today. Regen braking has now been disabled on this set.

Oh what a coincidence 😂

Metrocammel

I hate 465s as they have now stupid asd Hitachi motors

I think its possibly a new Great Northern livery, to "update" the 365's, because they've been in near permanent storage for months.

@@375-Productions huh, strange. It sure does look like EMR colours though!

@@MikeWillSee have EMR had any 365's in their fleet recently?

@@375-Productions not that I'm aware of! That's why I was confused haha!

@@MikeWillSee apparently it's to help with sunlight. it gets in drivers eyes a lot more and it's harder to see because of the bright white colours on the 365

Well if you're on the East Coast Mainline, try and ride during peak hours (only if there aren't too many people, the government actually recommend NOT to travel during the peak lol), but if you travel in the peak, great northern trains will stop at all station en route from King's Cross to Peterborough, and they'll run 365's sometimes!

@@375-Productions yeah for sure. I'm just not sure of their timetable diagram anymore. When to get them essentially. Sometimes it will be a 387 apparently running their shift

@@bb-3653 yeah, its a shame the 365's have been withdrawn so hard, they're comparable to the 387 in many aspects, it makes you wonder just exactly why Great Northern are pulling them and just chucking them in storage...

@@375-Productions wait so like, are they all in storage, or is it only the 365s that came from back scotland. Or like...ALL of them. As far as your aware anyway.

@@375-Productions and I agree, the 365s are faster at accelerating I think overall. Sure, the 387s may have more upgraded on board technology, but the 365s are still good for service if I'm honest. And its better for added capacity..no? They should do semi fast services then, perhaps use some of them on some stations along side the hertford loop in 4 car formation, and then speed off to cambridge or something. That would serve people on the hertford loop without having to change trains all the time, it would at least give 365s a seperate purpose . And then use some on mainline duty. Its kinda unfair on 365s lol maybe another semi fast between kings cross and potters bar too. Idk man lol

Thanks!

Also I was looking at your profile and I saw we had the same name so that's cool

Yeah I noticed, lol, but yours is speled with two r's

also weird how we both like minecraft and doctor who (more lol)

Yeah oof
