WOW that was great viewing thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

[@rhondaprice5202]

Beautifully done video. Thank you so much! 👍

[@peterhynds7231]

I think the class 47 on the rear is supplying the ETH as if I recall class 40s are only capable of Steam heating .

Intercity... many good childhood holiday memories watching these

[@RailwayVideos.]

Awesome views mate!

[@stephenlittle7534]

Brilliant coverage as usual. Well done on the sea wall capture there.

I wonder if modern multiple unit trains will be preserved at the end of their working lives. A sign of the times is excursions having to take their own loco to turn the train around via a reversing loop at destination.

[@Stuartalison]

They are already saving 125s and railbuses.

[@CoastCams247]

Hahahaha. It's got a sour throat.

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

probably got a fly stuck in the orifice - - -

[@tonys1636]

Sounds like it has a split diaphragm in one.

[@Stuartalison]

@@tonys1636 not bad for the 1950s

[@10cfwh74]

And a 47 on the back!

[@robhallam8047]

[@robhallam8047]

I take that back....definitely a 47!!!

[@brrob8108]

Why?

[@Stuartalison]

@@brrob8108 to turn the train at Plymouth, back up engine. Possibly for onboard power supply too
