peter feltham true, Bombardier is a Canadian company, but the plant where the trains are assembled is a historic railway site in Derby, very much a railway location
They will have gotten old by now so will get replaced with new trains so at least they are not the outdated 25 year old ones most of those probably left for recycling before I was here lol
Come on, not every train. The 172s are used on the Birmingham City Rail Diesel Line, but London Midland haven't replaced the awesome Hyper Networkers which run on the other four Birmingham City Rail lines. & don't forget Chiltern Railways, where the fleet consists of early 90s Turbo Networkers running the local trains in Middlesex & Buckinghamshire & on the Stratford-uA to Leamington line, late 90s Clubmans running on most London - Birmingham fast & semi-fast services & locomotive-hauled trains running the London - Birmingham express service. They do have some new Turbostars, but they go to Oxford & don't go into Warwickshire.
Considering they are basically a mk3 on air suspension they have never shaken anyones bones that much, the interior was a bit basic and lets be honest the cummins power units are very noisy but almost indestructable so it was hardly a load of junk. In 2021 I don't belive a single 150 is withdrawn from use except 209 which was written off.
Lol "Replace the last of the old British Rail boneshakers", 6 years later and I was on one of those last month
James McLelland actually pacers are the true boneshakers
Today, the old class 150s are saving WMR!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 on the Marston Vale line 😂
These are British ASSEMBLED trains,they are the product of a Canadian company.

1m 07s the twin arm wiper on the 150/1 hanging down....its knocked and falling to pieces....not wrong there
Ten years later and they’re already being replaced...
They are not the 170s are being replaced

Nothing wrong with class 150s we've had them in Wales for 35 years
Now being replaced with Spanish trains made by CAF
That's a class 150 knob head

Hellow fellows
We meet each other in w020
Calling a class 150 a bone shaker ;-(
Someone bless the poor Sprinter...
I dont see why 150s are so bad there good trains and there the majority of the trains we have in the north west we never get new stock though

It’s a 172 not a 170.
He did say 172. Admittedly I thought he said 170 at first also.
its 2020 and they will be replaced early 2021
Not the 172s. The 170s are heading to EMR and XC.
@@JBS319 Sadly. I use the WMR 170s often and I can't see much wrong with them
Could class 150 trains 🚆 🚊 🚂 be bone 🦴 shaker trains 🚂 🚆 🚊? Perhaps 🤔 they are. Very old trains 🚊 🚆 🚂. I’ve been on class 150 trains 🚂 🚊 🚆. 👍
