I feel honoured reading this. In my home town you can get the 170 (in west midlands railway) and the 221 in virgin trains. we also get 158's in arriva trains wales (soon to be keolisamey wales)
By playing Train Simulator i noticed what nice looking Trains the UK has. Cant stop watching videos like this. And the paintwork is so much nicer than here in germany. Hope to find the time soon to go for a ride in a BR 395, one of the best looking trains right now in my opinion.
The second clip of the cross country trains looks like a lovely station and the HSTs are the best British trains I hope they stay around for a long time more
Thank you for watching! That clip was taken at Tackley station in Oxfordshire, a lovely little village station. The HSTs will be around for at least a few more years yet thankfully!
ACETrainsUK oh okay thank you and also wondering if you would happen to know why some of the HSTs with East Midlands trains have that high pitch almost screeching sound as they pass by but others like on First Great Western or East Coast trains don't have that sound
The East Midlands HSTs are fitted with VP185 engines, which make a screaming sound at speed, whilst the FGW and East Coast HSTs are fitted with MTU engines, which are quieter.
@ Luke Savage (I can't seem to reply directly) I don't yet have any decent footage of Northern Rail trains at speed yet as I have done little filming in the North, maybe this will be included in Part 2 one day :)
+ACETrainsUK May I have permission to use this? (I make videos that are other peoples but in X2 Speed can I have permission to use the video) (I always give credit during the video)
Nice collection, but as a thought for your next one, how about a few "sneaking up from behind" shots? (That is, you hear it coming, but it passes from behind.)
+batman51 Yep there certainly was a lot of time involved, roughly 2 years to be exact! :) Glad to say that the second instalment of "Trains at Speed" is almost complete now :)
ACETrainsUK there's good variety in Australia too, I'd argue that perhaps we even have more variety, but it's spread out over MASSIVE distances, in the U.K. Just go to all the London terminus stations in one day and you'll probably see the majority of the trains that the UK has, just missing some welsh, Scottish and freight and pacers
Exactly, as much as I'd like to visit Australia to see the trains over there, it is the issue that the different lines are a very long distance apart, therefore I would need to plan out an itinerary that covers the whole country lol
ACETrainsUK go to Cairns Brisbane Sydney Melbourne Adelaide and Perth and you'll see the majority of the trains staying in those cities, some trains for nsw and Queensland you'll need to venture further out, for NSW it's a particular type of railcar but you don't have to leave the train network to see it, for Queensland you have to go 6-7 hour by rail to see it as it's super long electric coal trains, there's a few other freight to see but there's no real way (with public transport) to get to them, I'm not sure what they have in Tasmania but Tasmania is often ignored by most Australians, I know they have some network but I'd probably only go for the heritage steam trains, you can get to all the cities mention by rail which would fill in the rest of the gaps for freight, I'd start in Perth, you'd only need a day there to really see the commuter network (they only have 2 types) then I'd get the train that goes as far as Kalgoorlie, as it's unique to that route, everywhere else uses a different train for long distance, also it's a good place for freight as you wait for the train to Adelaide, stop off at Adelaide, your choice if you want to go to Darwin, the train you'll get to Darwin will be the only train you'll see up there, there's a suburban network in Adelaide, wouldn't take long to see it all, then you have the choice to go throughout to NSW by waiting for the train that you got off, or go to Melbourne instead, Melbournes network is still not as large, but really you should go for the trams, then head up to Sydney, you can go to Canberra but the train that does the journey you'll see at Sydney, the only Train that you won't see you'll see if you head up to Hamilton station, then you get the train to Brisbane, the commuter network all funnels into the city so spend a day and you'll see all commuter and freight, there's a light rail network on the Gold Coast that you'll need a train to get to, there's a light rail in Sydney, but you don't need to travel far to get to it, Brisbane has a great train heritage program with at least 1 heritage tour per month, Brisbane is my local city and you can see in my channel everything Brisbane has to offer, then I'd either go straight for the train to emerald/Blackwater, or go to Rockhampton first and spend a few hours or days there first, as Denison street is very cool (it's where the north coast mainline runs down the middle of a street) i have yet to go there myself, but I definitely will, at emerald or Blackwater you can see the 2km long electric freight trains, I think Blackwater may be better but I have to check, then when the train comes back then you stop off at Rockhampton again and wait for the train to cairns, there's another train Townsville that you can look at but it's the same locomotive that you would've seen already by now with the same carriages as the train to Blackwater but just smaller, similar to the train to Toowoomba, then at cairns the rest of the trains that you haven't seen yet will come to cairns, but it would be a lot better to go on them as the train journey from cairns to Kuranda is just amazing and one I Have to do myself, there will be only 1 train left and that's the gulf lander, it's hard to get to as it's not connected to any other rail network but it's near cairns, then there's all the heritage locomotives all over the place that are hard to get to as it requires them to be running
@Z-TeamProject Unfortunately, the clip of the Eurostar at Stratford is the only HS1 clip that I have so I will have to visit Ashford and Ebbsfleet to get more clips.
Impressive how fast even the non-electrics go. If I saw one of our Chicago IL USA region (diesel-powered) commuter trains going this fast, I would have to wonder if I was dreaming. Brits have ours beat by at least 25 to 30 MPH.
Thanks for watching! Britain's strategy has historically preferred the development of lightweight, high-speed diesel trains instead of investing in widespread electrification, hence the fast diesel trains we have over here.
Thank you for the comment :) The reason I have decided to put all of the FCCs, Southerns and Gatwick Express services under GT was because they will all be classed as GT in the near future so just decided to do that to make the categorising easier.
Thank you! There is more variety on my second installment "Passenger Trains at Speed UK 2" on my channel, which features Northern and VTEC. A new video for 2017 should be out early next year :)
+Michael Healey Thanks! It was in service as Virgin were diverted via the Chiltern line when the WCML was shut and as it was only an hourly service, they needed a 15 car train to carry all the passengers.
For those trains that are *not* evidently electrically powered from overhead line or third rail, I do not see any fuel-burn exhaust otherwise generated from the locomotives....so are these still diesel powered, or gas turbine? Otherwise, a good, consistent compilation of trains here.
The non-electric trains are all diesel-powered. Gas turbine technology never really took off beyond prototype models on the UK rail network, but hydrogen and battery-powered trains are actively being trialled in the UK now for a non-diesel alternative. Thanks for watching.

England sure is train country, so many different kinds and I didn´t see graffiti on a single one of them. I asume they are doing 160 - 200 kmh apart from the Eurostar which does 300 kmh.
Unfortunately, c2c is not included in this Trains at Speed video, it is, however, included in the "Passenger Trains at Speed UK 2" video on my channel, where nearly all of the train companies were included. Thank you for watching!
Having watched this vid and the frightening proximity of train to platform edge, I’m starting to accept that the American habit of sounding the train horn, from about 10 mins out, is a reasonable safety advance. Yes, I know there is a verbal announcement, but.....but.... Speaking as a Brit on UK trains for life.
I did not realise that Anglia was the Polish for England. In England, "Anglia" refers to a section of Eastern England, stretching from Great Yarmouth to Peterborough. Thank you for commenting! :)
That is the first time I've EVER seen a class 221 coupled three times in a video.
Yep, pretty unusual event!
Love the sound of the diesels.
Class 43, 168, 170, 180, 220, 221, 222 all sound the best.

Great! I like the way you don't zoom in/out all the time like some other people do. This is much more 'real'.
Crepello100 Thank you for your comment, glad you like the style :)
Yeah this way you get a much better sense of speed not zooming in as sometimes when zooming in it can make it look slower than it actually is
I agree
@@wharris302 i hate that
I agree as well
That class 221 is super fast 14:30
A really great compilation.Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for watching!
great compilation would recommend if you do another one cant wait to ssee when you go north
Take that comment back. I didn’t know about trains much back then. Good video and no problem with it. I expect to see another one soon!

+Helvett222 Thank you! Glad you liked the video :)
Nice to see other trains in other countries, to be honest, UK trains are my second favourite 😁
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!
Exciting to watch. Thanks for avoiding the plague of zoom-and-pan, zoom-and-pan that seems to infect many railfans in the U.S.
Thank you! I tend to try and avoid doing such shots most of the time as I think you get a much better sense of speed this way :)
Exactly!
Nice Video, noticed You went to Berrylands...My local station! I photo there myself sometimes.
Thank you! Yep, a good spot to see a variety of South West Trains :)

Could watch these live all day , and planes love the noise , them pakistan trains are mad .
awesome
gotta love the mixed livery class 90s
I work alongside Track workers and i can say for sure that trains have gone faster then 70mph 100mph on the Salisbury to London Waterloo line
is it just me or does eurostar front look like Homer simpson lol

Thanks!
Nice videos and channel mate 😁
Thank you very much :)
ACETrainsUK Your welcome, I've subbed too. Looking forward to seeing future videos 😁
@SwFT Curse - I can't seem to reply directly but that's Balcombe station, between Gatwick Airport and Brighton.
Some nice liveries there, much better than our dull liveries here in Australia I'm afraid to say.
Probably a result of having so many different train companies in a small country, thank you for your comment :)
its only a decade ago but i miss this era already. the stock was just more enjoyable
Swiiiiiish! Very fast indeed!

great video! At 14:29, was that 15 car voyager actually in service may I ask?

I like east coat trains they are amazing
Sharks Rule east coast went bust in 2015 now it's virgin operating the ECML
Virgin went bust in 2018 now LNER is operating on the ECML

ACETrainsUK what programming do you use to upload/edit your videos?

These were when the railways had proper traction
Yep, plenty of variety back then!
But apart from those two complaints very nice video but make an updated one for 2017 on the East Coast mainline
