    Really nicely produced video! Such a shame that the trains never reached their full potential with FGW.

    Comfy seats but that’s about all these have going for them - the air con rarely worked and the engines had a nasty habit of exploding or falling off the train 😂

    A brilliant train for the driver, passengers and FGW. Yes it had its initial reliability problems entering service but it had great performance, fast, comfortable, good ride quality and excellent on board facilities when they were running properly. Sadly missed when they moved on. I preferred these little gems to those current day Japanese Things we have to endure today!!

    Excellent filming . . . Shame about how the units themselves turned out to be reliability wise 😅😅
    Though not so unreliable that they haven't managed a long career - to this day indeed, I believe EMR have just taken delivery of the former Hull trains sets.

    • @Bungle-UK
      @Bungle-UK Рік тому

      EMR dumped them earlier than planned due to poor reliability and now the whole lot are at Grand Central which, by no coincidence, has the worst cancellation rate in the country.

    FGW " We want a train that can be reliable for years to come Alstom " a decade later and they are already replaced with more cruddy units the class 80x. First why dont you just keep the HST, and the valentas if possible. Plus the class 80x sounds like some sort of spaceship when they accelarate out of a station
