Apologies if Willow's mask makes it a little bit harder to hear her talking, should be alright though.

It's uncanny how we both upload a GA video on the same day 😳
Great video though - shame they didn't have the variety of 2019 but I don't mind GAs fleet! Nice to see my 755 picture getting some use too ;)
Greater Anglia Thanos snapping really made me chuckle.
I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 8-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!!!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Great video, still need to try the Class 745s
the 745s are awesome i love the FLIRTS & Greater Anglia 720s are great too apart from the narrow gangway
genuinely really impressed with GA's new fleet, they've done so well with their new trains it's no suprise that they're probably the best TOC in the country rn, low fares, good reliable comfortable trains, i feel very lucky to have them as my local TOC
Hi Willow they are my TOC too, loved the collaboration with Hugh of TfL 3.
As a local of the WAML, I rather prefer the 745s to the 720s. Which leads to a question - why didn’t Greater Anglia order their entire fleet from Stadler? We could have had level boarding across the Greater Anglia network, which would have been impressive.
9:00 Apparently, CrossCountry will be refurbishing their Voyager fleet with those seats as well, so that's something to look forward to!
Eurostar also has a depot at Le Landy in/near Paris
Nice video.
But a train with 2+3 seating is not a commuter service, it's a slave transport ;-)
As somebody who regularly uses the 720s, the 3rd seat is hardly ever used, even when the train is overcrowded.
720s definitely my favourite train
I use Greater Anglia a lot and have been on the Class 720, Class 745 and Class 755. Mostly I’ve been on the Class 720s as they have made such good improvements with the walkthrough passageways. Compare to the Class 321s that you have to open and close the doors.
I'd love to see a full tfl fleet review
ooh yeah that would be great!
oh hey, it's me!
When you do a great northern fleet review can i join as i live on the great northern network
How did I miss this video.
You can actually hop on and off of the Stanstead Express with a regular ticket/travelcard?
So, it's not like the horrendously expensive Heathrow Express, which you have to purchase a separate ticket for?
I don't think passengers are allowed to travel on StEx between Tottenham Hale and Liverpool Street. There are frequent revenue protection actions on the StEx platform at Liverpool Street and they are very keen on approaching people using Oyster/contactless and applying penalty fares. Maybe a travelcard can pass if you're quick enough to pass through the gate without the agent reading your paper ticket.
Interesting. Makes you wonder why it actually stops there at all.
@@AFCManUkit is still useful for north londoners going to/from Stansted Airport as they can change for the Victoria Line (which also makes it easier for people on the Piccadilly line north of Finsbury Park for example).
Do a fleet review for Chiltern Railways
Do a London Underground fleet review 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh hey, it’s me
you need to do chiltern
720. *next gen networkers* 🤣🤣
Why does she have a mask on
Not reviewing the 755s is huge miss for a GA fleet review. They're even more impressive than the 745s if you consider the fleets they replaced. Also, 755s do more what FLIRTs actually do in the rest of the world: regional connections with frequent stops where level boarding makes even more difference.
0:43 It is not a diesel engine it is called the Trash Cupboard! Can't believe you got that wrong. *Dislike*
mask?
