This is a true Gem 💎
Leicester, my main childhood route to Notts… The good old Midland main line ((EMR)) 😊

[@iplaytoomuchscr]

Haven't been on EMR since they still ran HSTs to London

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Duaine, I too am a Childhood Midland’er. I have spent many a years asking for free tea on Midland Mainline and remembering the Rio services to Manchester. Good times! Thanks for watching. 😃👍🏻

[@duainesimpson274]

@@StarlifeStudios We have a great deal in common! Good old days 💯😃

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Amazing video as always Ross! 👍

[@MCV-Evora]

Hey Ross, Lovely video! I love how the voyager is in it!

[@H4RL3Y448]

@adamgaballa6232 it's part of the voyager family

[@PK345Transport]

Very nice video

[@southeastlondontransport5859]

Gotta love Leicester!

[@TheRealTrains806UK]

Great video ross! I would love to see some stations in cornwall☺️

[@사림파]

liked your midland mainline video!

[@camotech1314]

Bruh that 37 powered up while passing through!! 😮😮😮

[@maimadha]

Great video

[@H4RL3Y448]

Did you see the Midland Venturer yesterday? I managed to cab the EMT Loco at Leicester and it was loving it

[@StarlifeStudios]

I certainly did. What a fantastic job 125Group have done with 43159 - the livery took me right back. It’s also rare to get two HST Powercars with different engines together now so that was great to hear too. Glad you loved it too 😃👍🏻

[@H4RL3Y448]

Took me back a bit too, the first HST I ever saw was the EMT one, my dad purposely stopped by Loughborough Station to see if anything will pass for me to see before we shot up to road to the GCR.

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Quick thing in the description you said the 180s were 3 car units?
Fantastic video with the 37 breaking the very copy and paste mould of 222s and 170s

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Northerner Transport Hub. Looks like UA-cam had moved the text from the line above, so I've fixed that. Thanks for your support 😃

[@Sophiebryson510]

nice video

[@Andrewjg_89]

Never been to Leicester but I do like the Class 170 in East Midlands Railway livery as well the Class 180 Adelante and Class 222 Meridian which are soon to be replaced by the Class 810 Aurora IETs from next year.

[@AutisticGamer_123comingback]

Ahh good ol’ Red Leicester- I mean Leicester! Good video overall!

[@TheRealTrains806UK]

😂

[@benward9191]

Did you capture a 37884?

[@iplaytoomuchscr]

Amazing intro tbh

[@TheRealTrains806UK]

Me too, I love the intro

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks both, I still really like the intro - simple and stylised 😃👍🏻

[@trainfanboy98]

[@Filip-Trainspotter]
