I will really miss the Class 319 on London Northwestern Railway as they are due to be replaced by the Clas 730/2 Aventras. Hopefully Northern should have them or are they going for scrap.

Lovely video! All those curtains make me wonder how long laundry day takes. I remember riding on trains as a kid in the 1970s and 80s and the sometimes acrid smell of upholstery, with puffs of dust coming out of the seats when struck - was the upholstery ever intended to be cleaned?

@@Jeagles Ah right.. well, I am always happy to get new trains (I currently go into the city around midday from Richmond so it's almost always a 455), even if it is better late than never. Although I'm not a fan of the ironing board seats that seem to be popular these days.. Air conditioning will definitely be very appreciated come the summer though. On one hand, the old trains are very nostalgic - it's such a historic electric railway just in general, and then to use trains still trooping away 40 years on, before getting on the bakerloo line which feels like even more of a heritage railway these days.. but on the other hand, such a well used system does deserve something a bit more cutting edge.

That was a diffrent Unit, a 4TC. This is a 4VEP. They are both MK1 design, but the 4VEP is a EMU and the 4TC is just fixed coaches with a cab at each end. They were used for trains running onto Weymouth from Bournemouth, having been pushed there by 4REP EMU's.

To shunt the train in the yard, the 73s used diesel to avoid potentially stalling in the gaps in the third rail associated with complex pointwork found in depots

The cabs will need the fitting of modern safety equipment before they are allowed to lead the train. All trains on the mainline these days need a GSMR radio and an OTMR data recorder which the group are still raising funds to buy and install.
