The new Great Western Railway (GWR) class 800 and 802 Intercity Express Train (IET) which has replaced the much loved HSTs on services to the west from London Paddington.
Jonathan Chester Many thanks. I really enjoy exploring the railway network in search of new locations to film from. Wish I could spend more of my time doing it.
Same here but they will never be as good as the HSTs. But time moves on I guess things like those old nice trains don’t last but the HSTs were built to last. It’s the same story with the IETs.
If you referring to the thumbnail image this is Hungerford Common. It is a publicly accessible location, only recently became worth visiting after Network Rail cleared the line side vegetation and trees that were previously blocking a good view of the line.
They look good but thats it. Piss poor build quality rock hard seats and now hairline cracks being found. The pacer of long distance train travel. If I were needing to travel long distance I would sooner drive thank you.
nice IET video and good crossover at the end
Great location finding! Love these little out of the way spots to get your geek on :)

Is it me or does the Class 800 look a lot like a Cucumber 😂 great trains anyway and nice video liked and subbed.
The all over green livery does make them somewhat like a Cucumber it must be said.
They might me putting hsts on the paddington again because of the cracks and the problems with them
Nice! Is it possible 9-coach unit couples to 5-coach unit?
no because it would be too long
@@SionsTrainVideos Ok. Thank you!
@@SionsTrainVideos yea would quite cool though you would be able to get more passengers per coach.
@@louscr8249 ok
Can you tell the train driver that I want creative stickers on train please
where is this location if its public?

I just hate them - the design is so lazy.
Thank you for the footage!!!
