Class 802 vs Class 800 Quickest departure from Swansea on Diesel race

[@nolantherailfan5048]

The 802 has a more powerful diesel engine

[@MrMaguireLovesTrains]

Yes it's for the gradients for Devon and Cornwall

[@SionsTrainVideos]

swansea is only 20mph tho. IETS are much faster when there electric too

[@MrMaguireLovesTrains]

Yes I know that I've seen they can be much faster on electric but this is the diesel edition because the electrification wasn't extended to Swansea because they ran out of money so I did it with the diesel, although just a bit further on from the signals the line changes to 40 but that won't really change it tho

@MrMaguireLovesTrains91110 u should do the quick test video in port Talbot coz its 80 there

[@MrMaguireLovesTrains]

@SionsTrainVideos yeah I should do, next time I will because I don't have a class 802 at Port Talbot yet I can't wait to see the Northern Belle tomorrow lucky for you, you get the Blue Pullman and the Northern Belle

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@MrMaguireLovesTrains91110 yeah u should, im looking forward to the Northern belle and i wasn't sure if i was seeing the midland pullman because well have u heard the derailment of 2 trucks at hardendale coz driver had a spad have u heard about all that? But it is running now tho

[@MrMaguireLovesTrains]

@SionsTrainVideos Yeah I remember seeing the Northern Belle back in December with 57313 and 57601, there was a derailment?? That doesn't sound too good to be honest but as you say its still running then it's ok and no I haven't heard about the derailment
