Calling a 197 an intercity train seems ridiculous but then you have to remember how neglected Welsh railways are

Great video, keep it up! (Even though this is 10 months old.) I love trains, and seeing marlebone blue trains and the london tube trains is something i love, i get such nostalgia to them to since i grew up with them. The marlenone blue trains have the comfiest seats ever. Love ur content!

It'll never happen

My little celebrations as the class 444 won 😂

Apperantly there is ticket machines on the stations now and the Enterprise goes from Great victoria st. Which is now called Grand central

I'd reopen the Great Central Mainline. It'll give towns like Daventry and Lutterworth a direct rail link.

The overground should have the same seating layout as the Elizabeth line

the class 458s are very reliable now

Funny how this narrator struggles to find negative things to say about Dutch railways! "Sometimes there are old fashioned rail signs that causes the trains not to go faster than 140 km/h." "Intercity trains have no carpet on the floors" "Graffiti found in some trains is described as filth" And all of this makes UK train travel a better experience than in the Netherlands. 😂😂😋😋🤣🤣

You are being *far* too harsh on the Class 150. I would happily take a 150 over a 165 any day. 2+2 seating vs 2+3 makes quite the difference.

How did you get Julie Berry to do talking at the end?

And The Old Railway Line From Dumfries To Stranraer Is Still Staying On Track Which Was Announced Back In 2020 Since During The Pandemic And The Line Was Closed In 1965 In Dr Beeching's Report In Scotland And It Needs To Come Back

The Line To Dalbeattie Is Not Going To Be Rerouted And Castle Douglas' Supermarket Store Tesco Is Not Going To Say Goodbye This Is Our Moment To Rise To Show Them What We're Made Of And The Trains Are Still Going Arrive Into The Towns With 2 New Stations In The Tunnel Is Better Idea The Same As The Railway Stations In The City Of Glasgow Did

An interesting instance of better and worse ride quality, is the class 700 vs the older Electrostars. Often newer trains have had some problems with ride quality, such as CAF built trains and the IETs. Electrostars which are older however also can be very rough over the bogies. Compared to Electrostars, the newer class 700s are lighter relative to their length, but are also smoother over points and crossing. So light and modern trains can still have good ride qualities. You are just completely wrong about the class 700's bad ride quality on the EMU ranking video.

And Also They're All Just Getting Old Waiting To Be Transferred To Another Operator For England Or Waiting To Thrown Away For The Storage Or Sent For Scrap That's All A Short Type Of Unit Is!

Well Buddy They Are Old But The High Speed Trains In Scotland Are Not Going To Get Replaced By New Longer High Speed Train Types And All Classics Are Not Going For Scrap Yet This Is Our Moment To Rise For The Transport Minster Fiona To Show The Government And The Tories In Edinburgh Housing Developments The Councils Everywhere Around Scotland And The Home Residents Near By A Railway Station What We're Made Of Because The Scottish Parliament Had Announced For The 2026 Elections Around Scotland When They Show Images Of The Upcoming New And Replacement Fleets Of Trains

I moved from London to Bristol without a driver's license...and it was a real adjustment. Everyone cycles in Bristol because you simply cannot rely on the public transport.

in tsw2, which routes do you get with the base game and which routes do you have to buy as dlc?

How do they do it? Surely regional expresses, require good ride quality, vestibules for reduced noise and comfort, just like the 159s? Even more brilliant is that two car trains have 116 seats, hopelessly aligned with the windows, replacing 136 in class 175s! How on earth do you design a train with just one toilet, with no redundancy for when it’s out of service? Surely the standard should be one WC per coach, as with the 158/159s? Why is the step up so ridiculously high? Buying cheaper trains, without the possibility of bimode operation saves money but clearly build quality is awful in terms of rattling loose parts. The story of the unreliability of class 67s, not designed for frequent stop start, means that lessons are never learnt. Back in the 1980s class 50s were always breaking down on the Waterloo to Exeter service for the same reason and causing horrendous delays when stuck on a single line section, until replaced by class 159. But of course TfS knows better.

Another valid argument is that Bristolians are to blame for the state of the city. They keep on changing the system that should look after transport in the city from committee to mayor and then back to committee again. Nothing will ever get done in Bristol as no one will ever take responsibility for the transport issues. The committee system won't work as each member will just look after their own interest and nothing will ever be agreed.

The real problem with the bus network for all operators in Bristol is the lack of drivers, which means frequency has to be cut on routes in order to accommodate a full days run out for the bus network with the available staff. First have been using agency staff and drivers from other depots in Bristol for a long time now. Part of the problem with recruiting staff is that the majority of Bristolians do not want to work weekends or unsociable hours and the other part is the traffic congestion in Bristol which means services are always running late. The customers (locals) get frustrated and are very abusive to drivers.

I despise class 165s

The thing about trains in rural Japan is that it depends on demand which simply isn't there. Also, a lot of routes have closed due to natural disasters that other countries do not have.

I thought that everyone there wafted in on a magic carpet of their own virtue, no‽

Honestly, the real takeaway is that building infrastructure in the UK should be a lot cheaper-I'd say a tenth even of what it is now.

Great video, sensible souning idea. One question though; how did you get that announcement at the end?

unrelated but after the 222s leave emr, they should go to tpe to replace the nova 3

i cant wait for the 360 refurb. i dont reslly plan to ride the 360s again as the first stop is luton airport pkwy, been there before, planning to go again (but on 222 and 80x) and its too exprnsive to go AGAIN

Tavelled on the Portsmouth to Cardiff route a couple of tines recently and both times it was with 158s, so there are some still there. Though I did see some 166s in the other direction which I agree are terrible for the route. Are the 175s doing anything these days?

The beef is with the concept of multiple units themselves. They’ve never been real trains. Only a loco and a rake of mk1’s is adequate. None of that horrible racket beneath you and rock hard seating.

There is not problem with the class 700. They have a good ride quality.

I remember the good old days of the NS, the 60's and 70's. The trains were wonderful, the old MAT 46 and Mat 54, beautiful streamliners with comfortable seats and windows you could open at the top. And they would run on time with simple schedules every half hour. It's all gone to shite now since privatisation. Beautiful old train stations have been torn down or altered into horrible shopping malls. And no train runs on time or makes a logical connection anymore. And the new train sets all look like shite, butt ugly.

It is a cultural centre, Brunel etc etc and very historic. A good day out would be a river taxi rover ticket, well worth it. I was there in the summer, but it's a front. Meet Bristol? Bristol is a complete total shit hole. Anything flat will be sprayed in graffiti, even if it isn't finished yet. I stayed in a nice hotel? Go out in the morning for a cig, step over the homeless in the entrance, push away the early morning beggars all wanting your money, there is muck everywhere. If you leave your car in a secure car park, guarded by a man with a big dog, it will be sprayed and have it's windows smashed in within 3 hours ... ours was? Bristol is a place where no one cares about anyone else. Never ever go there.

Reopen the Golden Valley Railway from Pontrilas!

I just noticed another wonderful detail in that car-parking versus bus-service comparison: they proudly announce they have, just this year, _finally added_ wheelchair accessible parking. So despite the car-first attitude they've had, until now nobody with a Motability car was able to go. (Even though middle-class festival-goers are also more likely to be able to afford a powerchair.) Those narrow pavements from the town centre don't look particularly wheelchair-friendly either.

A fair review of the 800s. In terms of ride, of which you dont say much, my recent ride on a refurbished Pendolino from Euston to Liverpool was much smoother than 800s on both LNER or GWR. But was that the track? I agree with you that seats and décor make a huge difference, and GWR is at the bottom of the pile.

I run bus services to events and there be a good reason service does not enter site, as they use a little bus to get onsite, that a cue that big buses cant enter site, also at peak times getting buses off site of big events sometimes mean buses get stuck with the cars fighting to get off site. often events ask for over £20 to park to try price users on to buses and to walk.

A particularly valid point made is that it’s pretty well nigh impossible for those on lower incomes to participate in the festival, and that’s true of just about any significant event in the UK these days. Just getting to and from an event would use up a significant proportion of the weekly income. It’s something I’d love to see our new government tackle, but I won’t hold my breath.

you really have got time on your hands to find fault with what must be the festival with the most purity and integrity. it happens once a year pal. people are burning toxic rubbish everyday, have a go at them.

I wonder why this was recommended to me, but as of now, they’ve built Grand Central station in Belfast which is a proper train hub with 6/8 platforms? (I forgot)

Seems like Hay Festival cares more about appearances than anything else.

Perhaps there could be plans to reinstate the former railway line from Hereford to Neath that could see new railway stations coming back including Hay-on-Wye and for the Welsh government to use their own money to bring back the former railway line that would be beneficial for the Hay Festival.

Curious, have you contacted the organisers for a response?

Bruen Ridge

Just waited 30 mins for a bus, that never arrived then I waited another 45 minutes for a bus that actualy arrived. I saw 4 mostly empty m3 busses pass while my route has one every 30 mins, without guarantee it would come

Integration of the European railway network is absurdly bad. Differing signal systems, differing electrification standards... it's madness. The Netherlands and Belgium above all should have a fully integrated railway network. Not only are they both core members of the EU, but also are together in the Benelux organisation together with Luxembourg. The Netherlands and Belgium are like the closest allies and economic partners in the world, BFFs, without actually being part of the same country. Traveling from Rotterdam to Brussels should be as easy as traveling from Rotterdam to Amsterdam.

Why fix public transport when you can have a captive audience, that you can berate and rinse for everything they are worth..... It all goes far deeper than anyone would care to admit

Well said.

As a lot of visitors come from London, a shuttle bus (albeit less frequent) to Newport-Casnewydd would be a good idea as well. Hereford is slow to Paddington.

The First buses come from the Worcester garage so it makes sense to run some journeys to and from Worcester so passengers can potentially subside what would otherwise be dead mileage.
