This was before FL used 90's completely on these diagrams.

@@Faulty720 Fair enough. I was merely arguing that 1 x Class 90 was never going to be enough for a 930 tonne train. So they should have used 2 x Class 86's or 1 x Class 90 + 1 x Class 86 from the get-go.

@@MrSmith1984 I'd assume this was a 90x86 with the 3rd trailing loco D.I.T but honestly can't remember and the video quality of my phone back then was quite poor as you can see, so the pantographs aren't clear enough to make out. I put triple header so maybe all 3 were powered and the 90 was going through running in tests though... Forever a mystery 😂

​​@@Faulty720 In the video description, you described the train as a Single Class 90 towing 2 x Class 86's and a Freight Consist, before the additional Class 86s got activated at some point. Looking at the footage with my eyes, it looks like all 3 Locomotives were being used. Which is understandable since 2 x Class 90s are usually used to pull such trains on this route, thus a 1 x Class 86 + 1 x Class 90 combination is somewhat inadequate for the task.

@@sargaa8471 it's the GWR first class interior with some blue mood lighting and table cloths added :)

@@Faulty720 I looked it up and yeah it looks cool but the structure isn't that much different from the train I took to work how much is a ticket to go there? also I saw it was a train for the highlands, do you live there or you just go there for the occasion ?

@@sargaa8471 it's a special excursion train, pre-booked only. The exact train (Called a HST) used to run from Paddington-penzance for Great Western Railway. Those trains and types of carriages used to also be used on the East Midlands, Great Eastern, East and west coast mainlines, plus some other stuff. The excursion is run by Midland Pullman, ticket prices and excursion dates can be found here - www.midlandpullman.com If you'd rather ride on a HST without paying a large cost, a couple of heritage railways operate them publicly, such as the Colne Valley Railway and Nene Valley Railway being the most regular ones.

If it's any help it returns from Fort William tomorrow. Arrives back into Chelmo around 23:00 ish. Realtime trains should have the path on their site by now :)

@@Faulty720 See yesterday times on RR didn't find by numbers found by looking everything goes passed Chelmford today. Sits there for a bit then Shenfield for a bit bfore going back out. I your out may see you on the line :) Thanks again

Cheers

No HOVRIS, I think this is my footage ... You should have got your OWWWWWWN footage!

@@Faulty720 😂

@@Andrewjg_89 yes :) first HST in 27 years at Chelmsford. Next dates are; The West Highland Pullman, departs 16th August and arrives on the 18th August. The Torbay Riviera - 21st August Tyne Valley Pullman - 23rd October. There's also a UK Railtours charter with a class 33, 66 and the 4TC set passing through this Sunday 28th July :)

Sama again next year? 😂 I think other rails and ales events are in order soon too

Yes indeed you can, as long as it hasn't been shunted away from a platform. It's a single driving trailer as I'm sure you're aware and won't ever be hauled/move with passengers aboard again though. But it's still nice to have an example preserved of course. Also on a side note I do hope they have finally removed those awful dystopian (and unnecessary) distancing stickers that the last TOC put up 🤮🤡😂

It may have been possible you did, maybe you didn't haha

Thanks 😂

Cheers Nigel 🚂🍺

Yeah it's a nice little line. Undergoing track work ATM to build new sidings as there were some land ownership issues I think. It's not that big but it's nice, if you check out their website or facebook page you'll get the idea of what's there. Imo mini rail is the best bit haha

@@Faulty720 I'm an ex platelayer from the southern , the closest I was to my father was a day out on the R H & D . I really appreciate the effort that enthusiastic people put into a project and while I can still move I'm intending to see as many as possible . Great video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@stephenrice4554 well this year you'll probably see some tracklaying in progress in public view at the CVR for these new sidings. Volunteer availability pending :)

You’ll be fine ride swarm before it’s a super smooth ride and you’ll 100% enjoy it then go for hyperia

Mack coasters are really smooth and very comfortable :) if you're going in August get a fast track for it if you can, queues will be massive haha

Thanks :) Was a bit of chance really, as had just got off a down road train to see a big crowd on Platform 1. Didn't get to film the actual naming ceremony, wasn't much tbh unless you're into football as apparently a few famous Ipswich FC faces there

Around 3am :)

I wish :/

Absolutely 😁

@@Faulty720 No, if you look closely the leading 50 has 50007 on the front buffer and 50034 on the side

@@colinwilbur3883 ah I see what you mean, sorry. To be honest I have no idea haha

Cheers :) Railtours in this area seem to have become more common recently, I'm sure there's others planned for this year through Chelmo

Yes, good spot. :)

Most of them were reported by maintenance teams to be 'rust buckets' and difficult to keep in service. The body and chassis and motors basically being life expired. It's a shame that what replaced them (720) is so inadequate but unfortunately the 317's were past it.

Thank you! Cheers!

If only

It's pretty loud when it's grinding :)

Indeed they have - as it says in the description:) cheers for watching 😁

👍😊

Yes. And Chelmsford is on the main line. The last main line class 321's were supposed to finish weeks ago. Trust me I know these things. 😁

Thanks again! Glad you're enjoying the videos 😁

@@Faulty720 have a great day ☺

Thank you! 👍

@@Faulty720 have a great day!

@@c-historia if you liked this video. I've just uploaded another class 37 video, taken early this morning. It's an extremely rare working of 2 class 37's hauling a ballast train. (Normally done by the more common class 66's)

Thanks 😁 They'll probably be out again no doubt covering for a failed 745/720 but was nice to get the last official departure. Anything beats a 720 😂

@@Faulty720 I don’t mind the 720s but the older generation of trains I really love. I am like you in that I wanted to be there for the last official day… even if they do make a few more appearances as cover for breakdowns etc

Cheers 😁

@@Faulty720 no worries

It's a possibility, suppose if the leasing company thinks it'll be viable I guess

@@Faulty720 it's a new unit relatively speaking I'd say it may be worth it.

@@bb-3653 you'd have to speak to the person responsible at the leasing company :)

@@Faulty720 haha true, ar least that's what southern would have to do isn't it. Or GTR.

@@bb-3653 personally I'd prefer it if they rebuilt the Deltic fleet.

Yes it is - 82121 :) it has been used on demonstration services with the 3rd power car before and hopefully will see further demonstration use in the future.

I'll give it a watch. If only the modern units were put into this livery haha. Cheers for the sub!

@@Faulty720 haha! Agreed, I actually think the 745s would look quite smart in that livery!

Thanks :) Just in case you're interested the 'launch day' is the 16th April and then there is a steam and HST day on the 18th April aswell

They're all going off lease for now awaiting a new TOC. Good news is that the class 317's take over the Stansted Express services again so if you want a bit of extra classic traction before the 317's go to scrap now is your chance. Soon they'll be replaced by the class 720/745 fleet unfortunately.

So that’s why most of my local trains have been class 720s. What company will they go to? Also you said class 317s will be on the Stansted Express services, aren’t they worked by class 745s?

Aren’t the class 720s meant to be 10 car?

@@instinct_yt281 . The order was changed before production to all 5 carriage units.

True, but on the GEML, most of them are 720s coupled together. But on the WAML, they have only ever been 5 cars, meaning we our services have reduced carriage numbers from 8 to 5

You can do that's fine. Was only following what the diagram said on realtime trains

Certainly better than the 345 units

@@Faulty720 At least 100,000 times better

@@easygo1477 for me it is 100x better

@@ashleyjiscool more like 1 million

@@easygo1477 I prefer the Class 345. I am not a fan of those PEP's. Thank god for the Class 345, 710 and 717 replacing the PEP's.

Yeah

Thanks 😁
