the reason the 158 and 159 are disel are because they go down to exter

Whilst those GWR units are tolerable. The Chiltern ones are crying out for a refurbishment. They look neglected and very worn out. Not the worst trains I have been on. That would be the Class 142/143 Pacer units that would bounce and screech all over the place. Just ride one if you get the chance a preserved railway and see what I mean. Oh and using the toilet on a Pacer is an adventure in itself.

RIP South West Trains

"he is also much more athletic than Hugh" No need for that sort of violation

Great video Hugh

I never even knew this line existed! I live in Richmond which is near Brentford and once we needed to get to Norwich and what we did was get 110 bus (which is my local bus) to Hammersmith, then the H&C to Liverpool Street then Greateranglia but if I knew this existed it would’ve been so much more useful😊

376 is underrated

I do wonder just how long Heathrow Express can last with the Lizzy line taking most of its customers.

Having been on 465s, I don't see any truth in the points you made. The broken seats don't bother anyone unless you deliberately yank them upwards. I do think the BREL units are kinda mid but the Metro Cammell units motor sound makes it so much better

Aventras are by far the most disappointing new trains in the country. Their motors are almost silent and even when you can hear them, they don't sound even remotely interesting. At least the 455s have character and padded seats and are a 10/10 if you ask me.

I live near Sydney and just heard you came to Sydney for the metro when it got delayed:(

I'm sure there used to be similar Olympic ring benches up on the Southeastern side of St Pancras station but they were got rid of a few years ago perhaps they are the ones now in the park near St Pancras

Wow thats so cool

Great video Hugh i liked your video

im a fan of the 465's

Hi im just wondering how and wich ticket use on this joney could you buy tain anytime single/return to end station then break journey as many you what

surely this doesn't count as it was only going to be temporary anyway

Studying for Fallout: London......

Any Fallout: London fans here today ????

If this service was to run with active trains as of 2024, a good option would be the class 755

Amazing story - I never heard about this service before and you tracked it nicely. BUT Please stop touching your hair every 20 seconds or so... It's SOOO distracting. Maybe worth getting some sort of headband? You may not even notice it but it keeps happening... Otherwise your style and material are great, just need a bit of presentation discipline :)

HOW CAN ANYONE HATE THE CLASS 165 GET OVER IT

I also have bad experiences with the GWR class 165 charging ports

This brought back so many memories. Between 1978 and 1991 I lived in Chiswick Village, the complex of flats that's bounded on two sides by the District Line and Hounslow loop and was a regular traveller at both Gunnersbury and Kew Bridge. Fast forward to early 2002 and we were living in Dorset and my eldest daughter had a Uni interview in Chelmsford so we used this route to avoid Central London, probably the first time I'd been on a 170 (use them all the time now living in Nottingham). It would make so much sense to put the third rail in between South Acton and the two sides of the Kew Bridge triangle the possibilities would be endless, but DfT don't want anymore third rail - witness Headbolt Lane on Merseyside.

I used this service a few times because I could get from Potters Bar to Honiton with only two changes, at Highbury & Islington and at either Woking or Basingstoke. However it was slower than using the Underground from Finsbury Park to Waterloo. The Anglia trains ran around the North London Line stopping at only a few of the stations but they could not overtake the North London trains that were stopping at all stations. This meant that Anglia's 100mph trains ran for 15 miles at about 10mph. The buffets on the Anglia trains sold confectionery at the same price that the same items would have cost in a shop, whereas South West Trains charged about three times as much.

Yes ... But the fastest way by TRAIN to Plumstead is Thameslink because Elizabeth Line doesn't go there. And you'll rightly get strange looks if people ask you "What's the best way to get to Plumstead?" and you reply "Get the Lizzie to Woolwich, then get out and walk!"

I prefer the class 221

In a similar vein - what happened to the amazing Brighton to Bristol service. And then again there was the Brighton to Edinburgh via Birmingham. Both extremely useful😢

What a great railway! They certainly ought to revive it. Perhaps extend the south-western end on to Southampton.

Perhaps it's the effect of Facebook on people of your age that makes you want to take a point of view and be so critical of things. The 165's took over from Derby-built DMUs in the late 90's and have given good service for many years. They're a British Rail design and were built in the UK and that's a rarity, these days!

Heard Snoop Dogs flying in to launch the new Class 420’s boys. Any truth in this!? ❤😂

Really enjoyed this film, very informative to provincial guys like me! I guess there will now be a spike in tickets issued Feltham to ingatestone now that you've publicised it as an adventure holiday. Personally I'd walk between the two stations where you caught the bus (can't remember their names). By the way, look at the LENS when you are talking to us!!

Baker street

I've been on both I much prefer the Southeastern 707s there much better in blue anyway great video

Forgotten? I remember it very well! It was about the same time that South West Trains started running through services (via Salisbury) from London Waterloo to Bristol Temple meads and New Southern Railway started running through services from Brighton to Rugby via Kensington Olympia using dual-voltage Class 319 EMU's!

Great video . North Woolwich was indeed a museum , and a jolly good one too .

This is a great video tour of the Thameslink Core. I was hoping for more videos like this giving a detailed tour around the former Holborn Viaduct terminus. It's interesting to see what is now all office blocks and pedestrianised was once where the former viaduct and platforms once stood. Is that building where the terminus once stood still the same building and been striped down completely to make it how it looks today, or was the terminus completely demolished and that one built in it's place. I think also a NEW section of tunnel was built moving the snow hill lines over to the right, where before when there was a junction, the Now Thameslink lines dipped down more over to the left compared to today's track alignment. I still think they could put a big CITY Thameslink sign on the frontt of that building rather then just the one tucked away between the buildings architecture.

2:56 Pardon me, please permit the pushy pronunciation pedant in me to politely point out that more often than not, place names are not said as their pattern of letters at first glance suggests. Just as it's Bucker still, so too is it far closer to sthg approaching In guh stun than a slaveish sticking to the sequence of syllables some have fallen foul of. Faydun Boys n so on geeze.

Where the Weaver Line?

I once travelled all the way from Basingstoke to Colchester on this service, purely for the fun of it. The train was completely packed for the first part of journey, however it seemed that everyone got off at Woking except for me. I think I had the coach to myself the rest of the way, and the North London Line was very slow
