Class 800 trains in snowy Swindon.

Here are Class 800 InterCity Express Trains (IET) Electro-Diesel Multiple Unit during the snow in Swindon. The first train from Bristol Temple Meads direction has two sets and after the green signal goes onto Reading and thence to London Paddington. The second train from Cheltenham Spa will be allowed to proceed after the first has cleared the section of line in front and is diagrammed to call at Didcot Parkway.

乗ってみたい路線。 スウィンドンって雪が積もるんだ😲　グリーン車体に白い雪が良く似合う。

You can tell these trains were designed in Japan and not Britain because they are working... in the snow!

[@OnTheRailwayOfficial]

How is it even possible to accelerate that fast in the snow!! Brilliant Japanese engineering!

[@gdwnet]

overhead lines are not as susceptible to snow and ice accumulation as third rail.

[@thecurlew7403]

Is their much room in them.

[@OnTheRailwayOfficial]

@@thecurlew7403 What do you mean by space? Like general space, legroom, etc?

[@thecurlew7403]

@@OnTheRailwayOfficial Yes leg room for comfort in long journey.

[@OnTheRailwayOfficial]

@@thecurlew7403 Leg room is best in class on these trains. You can really stretch out and relax even in standard seating

Great video mate! Love the 800 series (especially the LNER Azuma) and the Beast From The East was one of the best winters of my life XD

雪の中の列車ってやっぱ風情あるなぁ。日本人的感性だとBGMには「津軽海峡冬景色」みたいなベタなど演歌が似合うように思ってしまう（んでもって車内販売で買ったスルメを齧りながら熱燗をちびりちびりと飲むw）が、イギリス人の感性からすればどういう音楽が似合うのだろう？

[@frankadam4539]

Winter does look good with snow that is true. Japan may have the Tsugaru Strait and a maritime tradition and music about the sea. However the sea and weather can be summed up by British musical strength, which is namely, Rule Britannia, Britannia Rules the Waves!

スノードンって、イングランドの駅でしょうか？？　Is Snowdon a train station in England?🤓

[@frankadam4539]

Snowdon is Wales, whilst Swindon is in England.
