The 180 is the older brother who wasn't cared or appriciated by their parents and the 175 was the younger brother who got all the pampering and attention.
i rode a 175 from Hereford to Newport a couple years back, that was probably the most comfortable i'd ever been on a train, ever i'd happily ride one all the way on a route to see what they're like on longer journeys, welsh countryside in comfort sounds nice

It's worse than you think. LNER are ordering bi mode 397s to replace their class 91s, instead of IETs, simply because they are cheaper. Given the major focus on bean counters over everything else now, I can see these units being ordered for everywhere else....
Holy crap, intelligent decision making in the UK rail industry? I'd thought I'd never see the day. Where was this posted, since I can't find any articles or mentions on Wiki at the moment.
Very cool video about the coradias, I'm surprised you didn't cover that new LNG trial however, last time I was on that unit the engine idled the whole way and did not rev. The top speed for that trip was barely 100
Mhmmm, I've rode a 2 car service from Crewe to Stockport in the morning peak once. Almost as bad as the Birmingham Int. to Aberystwyth service. Almost.
I really wish the 180s were more reliable they look way more comfortable then most of if not all of the IETs and if they had been more units to a better standard perhaps grand central could’ve done more services as well and even services to new destinations
I don't take requests or reccomendations and I'm honestly getting titred of saying that to all these people asking me. The next trains are decided in advance and wholly depend on my footage and funds to travel.
Fun fact. Someone told me EMR are likely to KEEP their 180s longer than planned, because of IET delays, and for WHATEVER reason, they may in fact keep the 180s on till the last batch of IETs arrive. Why? Because the 222s may likely be transferred to XC, but no one wants the 180s... so EMR are keeping them? I hate EMR

Main reason I didn't mention it was that I had no idea what it was until I did some googling just now. Not filming it didn't help reminding me either.
The 180 specifically reminds me of Dick Dasterly. Works really well but right when you need it doesn't work.
Ah, the humble sparta remix, I loved these

@@MaverickHunterDaniel yeah the 2s should really be used as strengthening the 3 cars units or used as 4 cars on the services it runs on

Ironically enough, I never rode on the 180s during their two times with FGW.
@@MaverickHunterDaniel you didn’t miss much
Compared to the 800 and 801 they were actually decent but very underused.

Ah hell yeah, more comedy!
*YOU'LL BE GOING NOWHERE*
I’ve been on the class 175 and it was decent but it would be better if the coaches are longer.
If the coaches were made longer, you'd start hearing some rather concerning metallic scraping when going via Earlestown.
The coaches are 24m, so pretty standard length even for new units. The only ones with longer coaches really are the IETs
Apparently Virgin Trains were going to require 2 Class 180s but they decided to use the Class 90 + Mk3 Pretendolino. Good choice Virgin
I think they did acquire it but didn’t use it, I’ve seen a picture of it. It looks quite good in the virgin livery.
it’s a photoshop livery
