- Welcome back guys to another video, today we finally get to see 701002 complete training between Weymouth and Wareham without the helping hand of a pair of Class 66 units. in this video you will see the service arrive at Wareham station where it will sit in the platform for around 15 minutes before its departure towards Dorchester South, we catch another couple of sightings of the Unit passing through Wool with Sparks coming from the feet of the Unit. we also see the class 444 unit cross the level crossing shortly after the class 701 unit passes wool for the last time as the 444 is simply there to take the 701 back towards Weymouth if anything was to go wrong like in my previous video.
the 701's will be replacing the class 455's and 456's on the local routes around London and I was fortunate enough to be able to film the units being tested at my local stations, if you have enjoyed any of the videos on the new units make sure to hit the like and subscribe button if you're new around here, it will be greatly appreciated. if you have missed any of the previous videos on the class 701's including them being delivered for the first time to Eastleigh or the test failure on the first attempt, feel free to check out my previous videos dedicated to the new units.
Thankyou for watching guys, the support recently has been incredible I will continue to make videos on the new units whilst they're invading the South Western Mainline!. Please like and subscribe and feel free to comment your opinion on the new units ill be intrigued to hear the response!
Keep Safe Guys!
Great video.☺️
Great dedication to being up at midnight to show us theses in action so I’ll subscribe
Banana King Thankyou very much, It really means a lot :)
Front end looks good, with good headlights. I expect that the seats will be hard though.
EM176 yeah i agree
It has the same traction equipment as the 710 and 720. Nice
Owen Chua 👍🏻
And Class 345.
@@Andrewjg_89 the 345 didn't sound the same as the rest of them
These sound like metropolitan line sound
Sheriff_ Playz 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, Nice one mate. I'm sure I didn't rain where you were because it rained elsewhere after the hottest day of the year so far. I'm really looking forward to travel on board these new Class 701 Aventras and also seeing these brand new trains in passenger action as well. Good Video mate, Nice One!
Simon Chalker i got really lucky, i didn’t rain when i was out filming however when i was in the car waiting it rained. i’m looking forward to them tbh. they have a really nice design
@@SpottersUK Yes, they certainly do. I believe there's a rivalry in design between the Desiro City from Siemens in Germany and the Aventra by Bombardier in the UK because I think there is right now.
Simon Chalker yes i’d certainly agree!
Ayyy nice vid cant wait to see them in service! 😁
XenoBlaze4472 cheers for the support, no neither can i!
How dare call the 701 a real train? It’s just an excuse to call a cheap plastic thing a train
@@mikaelhemlingberg3695 Go comment on Yawwie's video, no need here.
Mikael Hemlingberg i think it’s quite nice 👍🏻
They look good. However one wonders about the viability of these units in the current climate where rail travel has dramatically dropped especially in to Waterloo, the likelihood level of traffic not returning to pre Covid levels until 2022/23 and the also SWR franchise.
Geoff T that is a very good point, i have been on the trains since we have been allowed too and they’re not half as busy as i would’ve imagined...
I think that passenger numbers will never recover after Covid. Rail travel is just too expensive, and the days of commuting are over as people will just not stump up the rip off season ticket prices and will work from home instead.
EM176 yeah i agree tbf, i’ve been on Peak Time Trains recently, and they’re still really quite compared to usual
Hopefully these don't have text to speech announcements, but they probably will 😭😂
carpediemtraveller yeah 😂😂
At 3:10, did you notice the spark from the last coach, also great video
Alfie's Videos it was sparking most of the time in a fairness, cheers for the support
lightning
Yawwie: Cast it into the fire. Destroy it
SWR: No
Is it testing for the first time
Mr Athavan it was the second time
can we just get an F for the class 707s being booted of SWR?
F
F for 707s, 458s, 455s and 456s
