As a young boy in the fifties I rode footplate on one from Churston to Brixham and returned in the Push-Pull coach cab; that was magic.

Hi There Again my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of you Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including the refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine Leyland 680 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner 6LXC Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train Fans Pretty PLEASE. Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Please?

Looks like a turbostar, sounds like an electrostar. Such a beautiful family of trains. My favourite livery still remains the 170 in One livery, but ironically, this was the first out of any of the family i ever traveled on when my late uncle took me & my brother to Southend 🥲💭 Since then tho, i cant hide the fact that i love all the electrostars that came along including the 375, 377, 378 (not as much) 379 & 387 excluding the 376 which i think is the ugly sibling out of the bunch😂 Edit: realised I didn’t mention that they are not only electros and turbos but the capitalstar is also a sibling, and i missed out the 168, 171 & 172

At 3:27 is 1698, one of the 411/6 based at Brighton. These were fitted with Mark 6 motor bogies and B5(SR) trailer bogies, also the 412 units in the video had these. They were probably the smoothest riding of the mark 1 express EMUs - much better than those with Commonwealth bogies.

Thank you for sharing, David Othen! At the 26 minute mark, it looks like it is a Canadian cab class SD40-2 pulling Direct Rail Services class 66s for the UK. The class 66 is basically a dual cab SD40-2 built for British loading gauge and standards! Great to see the SD40-2 pull its foreign derivatives! I have been to the USA and have seen the SD40-2s in person. In the UK, I do come across the Class 66 freight trains a lot.

This is the 2 car class 150108 that is new 🆕 to the West Midlands in central England 🏴 perhaps 🤔. It’s a gangway within unit. Very trustworthy trains 🚊 in the world 🌎. I like 👍 the class 150 trains 🚊 is because they are comfortable and warm inside containing central heating. The countryside railway 🚃 stations 🚉 are lovely ☺️ is because they are quiet 🤫 such as shhh 🤫 🤐 . When the class 150 trains 🚊 were brand new 🆕 in the years between 1984 and 1987, they were in the BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail 🚃 🚆 livery says sprinter on the side of the trains 🚂 🚆 🚊 . Class 150 trains 🚊 are used for provincial services at present 💝 since brand new 🆕 are currently in the southwest, west, plenty parts of the north of England 🏴 , West Midlands in central England 🏴 and finally Wales 🏴. In the past, the class 150 trains 🚊 have previously been allocated to th3 capital city 🌆 of London in the south of England 🏴, east Anglia in England 🏴 and finally Scotland 🏴. Now at present 💝, class 150 trains 🚊 are currently allocated to 4 separate train 🚊 companies are GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 , LNWR - London Northwestern Railway 🚃 , NT - Northern and finally TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴. Class 150 trains 🚊 will stay with TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴 until around perhaps 🤔 Saturday 31st May 2025 at the latest when they are replaced by brand new 🆕 trains 🚊 are are honestly hoped to be transferred to other train 🚊 companies are GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 , LNWR - London Northwestern Railway 🚃 and finally NT - Northern. This is the 1 single car class 153 DMU - Diesel ⛽️ Multiple Unit trains 🚊. Although class 153 trains 🚊 are only used for rural branch lines in Scotland 🏴 is named SR - ScotRail and Wales 🏴 is named TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴. Please 🙏 bring back BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail 🚃 🚆 . Privatised train 🚊 companies are very embarrassing 😳 🙈 confusion that can happen to railway 🚃 staff and passengers that use the trains 🚆. At present 💝, class 156 trains 🚆 are used for NT - Northern and SR - ScotRail. Class 158 trains 🚊 are used for EMR - East Midlands Railway 🚃, GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 , NT - Northern, SR - ScotRail, SWR - South Western Railway 🚃 and finally TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴. By around the end of May 2025, class 158s will be withdrawn from TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴 and are hoped to be transferred to GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 when brand new 🆕 trains 🚊 are delivered to the company. The class 140 - 144 pacer trains 🚊 have been withdrawn from service part of BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail 🚃 🚆 since May 2021 in Wales named TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴. All of these trains 🚆 are standard class accommodation only, toilet 🚽 🚻 in the DMSL - Driving Motor Standard Lavatory 🚻 🚽 , central heating , no smoking 🚭 accommodation, luggage 🧳 rack, second generation DMU - Diesel ⛽️ Multiple Unit, comfortable seats 💺 💺 💺 and have electric ⚡️ passenger doors 🚪. 👍

I once went to Scarborough from Eccles in the late fifties on one of the DMUs. On certain parts of the journey it would reach 70mph but the way it rolled around at times I thought it was going to leave the track,it was so unstable some people were feeling sick. My dad worked on the railway all his life and had got these tickets for us as a special treat,it was one of the first journeys the DMUs did as steam was phased out,I’ll never forget that train ride with my dad and I’m 79 now.

Leuk zo nog de Klasse 1200 met Plan-W rijtuigen in de NS Huisstijl. In een andere video ook Plan-W gezien op Nijmegen achter een Klasse 1100 nog zonder de huisstijl, in 1993 Deze klasse is puur op de gok. Geen idee welke het is maar op basis van de dienstjaren op wikipedia is Plan W het meest logische

I was a guard on these units working out of Manchester airport,they were the fastest trains we worked,and I loved them. Very comfortable and reliable. Their only weakness was that they didn’t have cool air blowers to their motors and we were told not to accept ‘stop orders’ between the airport and Piccadilly as the traction motors would overheat!

Just out of curiosity, why is there a B40 BW on the lead of the first train that went by? I am only asking because I thought this video is primarily about SD60F locomotives. Nice video though.
