I wished they'd used these bi-mode trains on the Wales to Birmingham route. They'd work well between the diesel and electrified section. Instead we get cruddy CAF diesel only trains.
They do not, theyre diesel only. But I believe they are getting other Flirt units similar to these that have pantographs and are bi-modal but I might be wrong.
@@TG_Trains They have gotten the pantograph versions, I have seen one going through Severn Tunnel Junction about a week ago on a test run from Cardiff to Gloucester via Bristol Parkway, I couldn't film it because I was escorting a friend through the station who has mobility problems though. The pantograph versions are the class 756s if you're interested.

yeah it would be good but the main issue is the cambrian cost line and all of the stations being too small
@@chungusgoat1460 that shouldn't really be a problem since doors can be locked out when opening for boarding.
These trains don't have a pantograph?

are these airlinks?
No pretty sure its waterline as that's James street he is at
ITS STEPFORD CONNECT
They’re just testing them anywhere
No because the Newport to Gloucester
Are the tiny numbers on the side the only way of identifying the unit? If so, that is the most stupid thing I have seen
