The hate on the 800 seats is completely valid 🤣 i had to use them for 3hrs a day for 5 months as my commute for work (albeit in TPE) and they absolutely ruined my back! However in terms of comfort overall its between the 390 and the IC225s both are pretty comfy…if/when they turn up 🙈
Both unrefurbished and refurbished seats are really good, also the scenery on the lancaster- carslile section is really nice(no bias because I live in Cambridge)
for all its upsides, the problem with the ECML for me is in how relatively few people it serves compared with the WCML and even the Midland Mainline... its all very well having long straight sections for high speed running, but a lot of the route is fairly empty
Avanti 390 seats are just fantastic! Came down from Manchester to London on one the other day and then travelled on to Cardiff on a GWR 800 and the downgrade was unbearably noticeable
I'd argue about lnwr cause those dates they were still in distruption due to bad weather's their depot at Northampton was flooded completely so had less trains because their only other depot is bletchley
The seats on the 180s are really comfortable. You should actually see what they had before the refurb (aka Hull Trains and FGW), those standard seats look a hundred times worse.
As a southerner on the SWML I want to say I like ECML more because the stock and livery’s are my cup of tea The 390s and LNWRs livery are cool and iv been on more servises on it so I don’t give hate but EC just has that bigger appeal so nice comparisons to both
No they are not. London to Edinburgh on Azumas is very bad for circulation. I wont use them again. They are bad for me. Pendolinos are very comfortable.
You're hilarious but also actually insightful - a difficult combination to find here on UA-cam!

you should do West Highland Line VS Far North Line

Great Video
I remember the Class 220/221 on Virgo livery 😭
Virgin*
4:15 That photo of the LNER train was in York right??
yup!
TFW GOATED I will always avoid avanti on the north wales coast
I'd argue about lnwr cause those dates they were still in distruption due to bad weather's their depot at Northampton was flooded completely so had less trains because their only other depot is bletchley
still £4 for the pic on 0:54 is WILD for me when i can get 2 pasties from greggs from the same price
i live in the west but i like both
To be fair to the WCML, most delays are the fault of Network Rail. There's always some kind of fault on the line, or engineering being carried out
yeah like the northampton line flooding
RIP West Midlands

1:59 desiro needs seat upgrade to scotrail class 156/385 seats and black seat cover with lnwr logo

Your main is longnidry? Mine is Musselburgh! Same lime
There’s a special role in my discord for people who live near Edinburgh lol
you can hear the 221s from miles away especially in north wales.
but at least in holyhead they drown out the sound of the traffic.
And then you got HS2 that is going to compete with the West Coast Main Line and East Coast Main Line once HS2 Phase 1 and 2 is completed.
East coast for the W
4:38 you said that the average age for the east coast was 8 instead of the west.
oops
But then West Mindlands is a Regional train operator not a Intercity operator.
Sick
1:49 WHAT DID YOU SAY!?! >:3
