    Sad to see that one of them is 43366.."The Mighty One", as a friend of mine would always call it. I was told too that 43007 and 43378 are also due to come here, bound for Mexico. Nice one again.

      43007 and 43378 have arrived at Yarmouth Carriage Sidings. I was fortunate to get out and see them do a small journey from Yarmouth C.H.S. to Norwich, and back again today!

    These HST trains are far better than the rubbish that GWR have switched too .These new trains have the most uncomfortable seating of any train I have travelled on ,interior finish is poor and a trolley service instead of a restaurant car .Bring back HST and sell off these Hitachi bi mode trains .

      @l1sakr1s I always hate it when the good trains get replaced with poorer quality replacements. It's certainly something they need to consider before just jacking in the decent trains!

    I'm sure whoever gets to ride on them now will be grateful for it, even if their new owners don't treat them well.

      I just hope the new passengers and drivers truly appreciate the beauty of these, and show them the love they deserve!

      Thank you so much for watching! I love videoing them and sharing them with fellow train enthusiasts!
      I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the last part of your comment, I only video them. I could only dream of owning one!

    its a shame how they spent all that money on the sliding doors only for like 2 years

    • @TheSpotify95
      @TheSpotify95 Рік тому +2

      Yeah, should have kept them as slam door models and retired them early, for further use then...

      @grahamallen1970 Рік тому +3

      I've been retired 3½ years and was dashing around with the sliding door sets for at least 2 years before that...that makes at least 5½years...but I agree with you on usage but only good for hst work as 3 phase electric supply to hvac etc

      @stanleygrabham3954 & @TheSpotify95 It's annoying when they do "upgrades", and then decide they don't want to have them anymore. Should of just left them as is!
