6:11 They don't use the 222s for Skeg as they won't fit at many of the stations, and they are also not cleared for some of the bends on the route pretty sure.
Never been to Skegness in my life. Im 56 so butlins was the thing back then. So filey was our chosen destination for holidays being from Newcastle 😂. Loving the video though
Putting it bluntly, it's a 💩hole. First thing you see arriving by train is the overgrown ends of the platforms - seen disused ones tidier. Forget Vegas, Skegmess is a much more appropriate name. Am unfortunate enough to have lived here years - it makes the fictitious town Royston Vasey look like a documentary about this place 😂
Yeah the 222's weren't cleared to run to skegness due to the Firsby Curve. Likely MegaSim was thinking of the 180's that used to run the summer specials.

@@TrainspottingTrio weird it won’t fit when the HST went through these stations?
Was told it was due to the wheel arrangements and sharp curves.

@@peterskegness3204 bet it was brill in 70s an 80s though
@@peterskegness3204 like Filey basically
5:06 I agree with you some sort of route from Leeds outwards would be nice
Another reason for this is Nottingham being the most southerly northern station.
Pretty sure 222s aren't cleared to skeg. They did use 180s at one point

Yes must’ve been 180s plus HSTs… what’s wrong with the firsby curve for the 222s?
Yea that’s them, and the HSTs
