Used to work next to the line between Ashford and Hastings used to see many old Thumper's in the day you could hear them coming from miles away. Great days. Another great video sir keep them coming. Best regards
Great video Tornado922, guildford is my local station, it's was great to see Hastings Thumper going though guildford, it sounded amazing, I wish I was there to see it for myself.
Thanks very much, that was my first time seeing it and I can safely say I wasn't disappointed in the slightest, she looked and sounded amazing all the way through
Great film as always Jarred, the engines on that thumper remind me of the class 80 and 450 units we had over here in Northern Ireland that I grew up seeing a lot of, thumbs up from me mate and keep up the good work
Thanks very much bud, I haven't heard any trains from Ireland so I would have to take your word for it on that one haha, I have every intention to come over to that neck of the woods so I can get some filming done of the irish railways, what would you recommend?
Thanks very much. That was my first time seeing the Hastings Unit and I can safely say I wasn't disappointed, sounded like you had a great time though!
Hahaha, Pigeons. He gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons, they love a bit of him (Parklife)Thanks Blur! Another top video though and you had the weather this time. Fantastic footage of the Hastings DMU, I'm a keen follower their UA-cam posts.
Fantastic video there Jarred and a great to see the Hastings Thumper units in action still. Jammy bugger haha !! Give you a quick history on that class mate. It's the old class 201 units that were made up of sets of 6 cars each with two power cars at either end . I think there were 45 of these units and they ran the Hastings to London Charing Cross and Hastings to Cannon Street services up until 1986 when they were withdrawn and replaced by the class 421CIG and 423 VEP sets. The reason for the straight-sided carriages was that conventional trains could not fit through the tunnels between Hastings and Tonbridge, so straight-sided carriages had to be made. The set you saw there was made up of two power cars (Mountfield and Tunbridge Wells) are from two different sets (numbers 1001 & 1013), two carriages from two other sets and the middle two are from class 421 CIG and 421 CEP respectively.
Your channel is so underrated. Your videos are so entertaining and fun to watch
I have to agree with you that thumper DMU sounded amazing.
Another splendid video. 'The Tornado Thumper' would be a cracking name for a rail tour using that unit.
Now that's a railtour I would travel on!
WOW! That Hastings thumper sounded brilliant! Lots of variety here as well! Great video!
Thanks very much bud, it was a great sight to see

Well I greatly appreciate the information. I can safely say I never knew the background of the class or this very set that I saw on that day!
Fantastic video Tornado922! I really enjoyed this :)
Thanks very much
Guildford has received a massive track upgrade in the last year, it amazes me how bumpy it still is!
Most of their network is like that!

Probably Doncaster

I use a website called RealTimeTrains for all of my information
I have been on that thumper
You're very lucky
Do you prefer 444 or 450?
I don't really have a preference on them
@@Tornado922 I like the 66s that come through the stations they are great xx
