After running #PurpleVision for over a year now. Its seems my passion for the railways deserves its own channel. Here you will find it all abandoned and dismantled railway, walks to discover the industry surrounding them and taking train journeys to discover so much more. Come take a journey with as I go explore our wonderful Island The United Kingdom.
DATS for the future of MML 1st & 2nd August 2024
Thursday 1st August Ryan captures the new E.M.R Hitachi Bi-mode trains stop on platform 3 at Wellingborough. To then hear all engines carrying this purple marvel into the distance.
Friday 2nd August I take to the skies to capture the Colas Rail 125 HST test train with a Class 91 in the centre of the consist. This train will be testing the new electrification lines between Kettering and Wigston Junction (Just south of Leicester). Eventually our new trains will run on electric power from London to Leicester soon.
Thank you Ryan for filming thursday for us all.

Another good entertaining 6 mins thanks keep up the good work
How come you aint talking in your videos anymore
Hi purple x co 😊 I've been noticing this one down at Irchester this last week.seems to slow down and crawl into Wellingborough station 🤔 Oh no, someones discovered me crop of herbal at Barton Seagrave in Weetabixshire 😱🥺🤬
Is that Keith from smile video in the footage as well?
been a long time since i have been there, and to think I helpped lay some of that track back in the early 90's, thanks for sharing
thanks Dave. Good to see where the ironstone branch used to go off from above. Caroline
Yh I didn't get time to fly that way over but it was in my mind. I'll do it one day
Not saying your wrong but it’s pronounced neen
Yh but no 😆. It's the Nen
Sorry to bother anyone but don’t colas still have there 56s
Yep amongst others. It did makes us laugh. that it wasn't really the last haha 😆
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures 👍 A bit of bad branding really 😂
i have been informed another 31 will be coming over soon is that true?
You've been informed correctly
Hi purple x co 😊 fantastic video from the air perspective, lovely line and views,strong little engine 🚂🚃🚃🚃 watching STEAM I don't give a shite it's raining outside tonight 😊👍👍👍
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures And it's very exciting!
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures ooh i wonder whst 31 it will be and also is it a visitor or staying
i think the class 66 died of shame needing to be rescued by a 60 year old class 37. Great to see a 37 not only running but usable.
😃
Pedantic old fart here. You don't need to say am or pm if you're using the 24hr clock.
these new 810's look longer carragewise than the 222's, mind you ive always thought the 222's looked shorter than hst carrages.
Hmm. I've not thought about it tbf
Power!
Makes you wonder just how many miles this train will have done in its lifetime.
It’s really good to see the roof, tells us a lot more about what they’ve changed on these verses other class 80X 1 central HVAC unit in the middle of each carriage rather than two at each end, engine exhausts oppose each other which means we can expect toilets to potentially be paired together, still can’t quite see how they’ve changed the exhausts tho really wanna see the outlet design
😃
They’re nice but not as nice as the HSTs.
💯 agree with ya
Will be nice to see these new Bi-mode trains in service very soon. Nice catch.
Cheers
How come it's running on diesel under the wires? Surely they'd do some electric testing by now.
How boring lol.🥱
What he said
Remember seeing 60009 on The York Yuletide Express like it was yesterday, so sad not seeing it out and about anymore
Those look amazing
Don't they just
Train travel far too expensive for me to use, but I might just be tempted by 45/1s on the MML.
Travel on a Sunday and you may get lucky.
Yes he truly is diamond gesser and ways gives us good videos god bless him
Absolutely. It's not just his railway content we have to thank for. We locals of Wellingborough have a wonderful video record of what once was. After making a few history videos of my hometown he pointed me to his channel which in turn leading me to show off more of what Wellingborough had hidden away. I then filmed a couple of trains after watching his railway content and they did well until the algorithms messed up the view count. Thus the creation of Purple&Co Railway Adventures. He is true inspiration to me and it breaks my heart to see him not as strong as he once was.
Yes he truly is a warrier God bless the guy
😊
Ha! See you had Keith there keeping you company. Has anybody seen the Auroras running pan up yet cos I haven’t.
Not me bud. I was at work at the time but Ryan and I have had the great pleasure of spotting with him many times. A true legend that he is.
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures I think I commented on another video and somehow it moved onto the next one as I commented. Great stuff all the same. Thanks.
Sorry any idea
All goes well, may 2025
Awesome video i no it won't be for a while yet but anty idea when they are to enter service
Supposed to be May next year
I bet that Hitachi are making a fortune out of the TOCs!
Yh I bet. It's becoming very saming on the U.K network
its ok if you like space age trains, but don't assume everyone likes them, but who asked for them anyway ?
They can run on diesel and via overhead wires, so putting aside the aesthetics, they're better for the environment, cheaper to operate, and have better acceleration
I like to see something different on the railways but I'd prefer to see loco hauled trains than units. My answer to your question is.... those who wish to get from A to B quickly and efficiently. Even if it means sacrificing part of what made the U.K greater than the rest.
There’s always one STUCK IN THE PAST !!! GET OVER IT !!
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures ignore the haters
Those 810's look smart, we've got Avanti's new ones just coming out now in service on my local patch - well the 805's anyway :). Nice catch 👍
Yh I've filmed them a couple of times now but these 810s have an awesome nose cone
THEY'RE HERE!!!!
Whoop whoop!
Nice to see the 810 out last week, hopefully it runs again this week
Yh about time we had something a little different.
Spotted Smile Video (Keith) @ 0.53!
A real legend
They will not help the overcrowding on many MML trains and let us hope the quality of the seating is a vast improvement over LNER and GWR, which,even in 1st class is truly awful. It is disgraceful however that the electrification which has now reached just south of Leicester is not scheduled to continue to Sheffield and Nottingham until at least 2030.
You're probably right and I've seen the state of the other sister sets BUT! its purple 💜
Problem is Thameslink was and will always be the main priority on the MML whichever way you slice it. Intercity services have always been neglected for a while, especially since you can't even hit 125mph on a lot of stretches. A lot of stations and bridges from Leicester to Nottingham/Sheffield need serious remodelling before the electrification can resume.
MOAN MOAN MOAN JESUS !!!
If there’s NEED TO ADD A EXTRA 5 coaches on they will STOP MOANING
Great video and the nicest looking IETs yet !
Cheers. They definitely look different to the others for sure.
I do love to come in the way! 😃
Not in the way buddy, just perfectly placed.
I forgot to say I remember seeing those castle wagons in the early 70sso in think they must be from around that time
My favourite wagons. I did hear somewhere that the short wheel base can't travel parts of the railways but from St Pancras area to Ketton it can so we still get to see these wagons
Nice to see emr testing their new trains also In the did I catch a glimpse of smile videos on the stasion as I've not seen new vids
Yh he's still around. I dred to think what he's been through recently. True warrior is Keith
Hi purple x co 😊 all Keith's are warriors ( sommat to do with the Celts 😂) I've seen this TWAIIIIN whilst on dog walking duty while my son has been in a caravan up Santa Pod 😊looks like European fast trains,very streamlined.
Diesel?
RUNS ON DIESEL AND ELECTRIC. Was being tested from Sheffield where there is no electric overhead wires.
Yes but they are bi-mode so can run electric when the OHL are complete
You should find out if you can get one named after your good self or your Son 💜
Purple's one is what I'd call it 😃
And it's Purple, I bet you're over the moon matey 💜
Absolutely. Strange that in 2019 when I created the channel. All the trains started to change from stagecoach colours to purple EMR. Yh I'll take that sign from up top. 😃
I haven't seen cement waggons like those 2 axle Castle Cement waggons for a long time, wondering how old they are ? I'll do some googling. Interesting to see the 810 Thanks everyone 👍
Dunno what it is with EMR and the nose designs. I don't like them - 180, 222, 810. I love the smooth 8xx look and also the 395s.
I believe they are from the 70's. Definitely my favourite wagon set
Hi purple from Dan
Hiya Dan
I live in Nassington, a village on he same lne but much nearer Peterborough. The old Station Master's house is currently up for sale (not, I should add, mine!), so those of you that like to have a track bed in your garden........get along to look at the estate agents' sites
Don’t you mean 47 727
Yep my bad. ✋️
Looks like your enjoying some railway adventure there my friend
Yh I love it Mezza
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures which one you like
Hi Ryan 😊 thanks for taking us on holiday to Llandudno with you 😊 Lovely surprise to see a STEAM TWAIIIIN 🚂🚃🚃🚃 hauling out on your journey 👍👍👍
Sorry Keith been down in the dumps but I'm climbing back out of that hole now.
Llandudno is a lovely place ❤if you haven't been there before then I'd recommend a visit
Ryan did a great job at covering the tour, really wish I could have seen it with the 86 leading! I noticed myself in a few different shots, most notably in the video of 44871's departure. Wales *is* absolutely gorgeous, but just like Ryan, I definitely have a bit of a bias for the area! Great video, again Ryan did a great job covering all of the tour and all the other bits! 👍
Absolutely brilliant video with both of you.
Yh one of my all time favourites. Thanks for watching it and I hope you go on a bit of a hunt for it all yourselves 😃
