ECML 2001

Film Shot 2001 around Peterborough, Newark and Grantham.
Featuring GNER blue class 91s, HSTs and Eurostar sets.

The GNER livery was and still is my all time favorite. Simple, classy and understated. I can still remember seeing the 373s at Leeds station and thinking that they looked so fantastic.

[@soundseeker63]

Wow I think this is the first footage I've ever seen of GNER livery 90 024 actually on a GNER service! A very rare sight indeed! I also remember once having 89001 pull into the station on my train to Leeds, what a delightful surprise that was! And the GNER Eurostars looked superb too. Perhaps even better than the Eurostar livery. Certainly better than those cheap, noisy and uncomfortable IETs we suffer with now! Intercity travel on the ECML is not what it once was, thats for sure :-(

[@NSE465]

Really good camera for 2001. Wow

[@BritishRailways60163]

Really miss seeing the "Route of the Flying Scotsman" on the side of the mk4s, also road a 373 from Leeds to London in 2004

[@MatthewK421]

The GNER 373 got me, always does the trick! Wonderful video by the way!

[@sadpanda9263]

One of my favorite of the post privatization liveries, and even caught the 90! Thanks for sharing, excellent video.

[@terrier_productions]

WoW.. I didn’t know GNER had Eurostars

[@cantthinkofaname3344]

They leased 5 sets between 2000 and 2005 for their 'white rose' services.

Bruh since 2011 (which is the year i had my love on trains) i had never seen THIS before…

BRING BACK THE 373S ON ECML

[@chairmanapoxy2301]

which terminus in london do you think they would stop if they wouldn't fit into the kings cross platforms?

[@Class43]

@@chairmanapoxy2301 i think eurostar won't let them go

[@TrainFan_95]

Just discovered this video. Amazing to see one of how the ECML was back then, brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting.

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

I know right! I forgot about the Eurostars!

[@AndreiTupolev]

EWS ex Res 47 on engineering train is interesting. I never did manage to catch one of the GNER Eurostars.

[@williamradford8817]

Lovely Eurostar class 373 "White Rose Train" in Great North Eastern Railway Livery, the awesome sound when a 373 powers up or down

[@rorymacve]

Fantastic video of a unique part of British railway history! :D I was just wondering, would it be possible for me to use some of your footage as part of an upcoming documentary I'm creating about the history of the Class 91?

[@Photo-nh3sx]

sure thing. Good luck with your project.

[@ryadi1703]

Finally you doing a video about IC225!!!! I cant wait

[@Cpr1234]

On the ECML, the Eurostar class 373's usually operated between Leeds. They would have two nicknames: The 'White Rose' and 'Eurostar Regional'

[@Ed_Gilbert]

Cpr1234 didn’t they go where petoboborgh is?

[@ametrinemoon]

I was on the White Rose once going to London, was an odd feeling

[@MMBaus]

Excellent video, very enjoyable.

[@DHDiversions]

Wow super bilis ng train na yan ahhh sarap siguro sumakay dyan pero nakakatakot padin sa bilis God bless po

[@KevinMeno2008]

That GBRf locomotive has an EMD engine! It sounds like an EMD F59PH or F40PH here in the United States

[@oliverthegreatwesternengin8029]

That would make sense as the class 66's were build in the US.

[@Cactus732]

Omg a locomotive built by EMD has an EMD engine?!?

[@belgianrail1]

A class 800 interviewing a class 158: “So do you know a train called the Eurostar?” Class 158: i think i heard of it? It was known as a GNER back then.

[@AndreiTupolev]

66706 must have been brand new.

[@nobby3265]

Tbh I rather have the experimental cab air con box rather than the smiley as they still look like networkers.

And to think trains were overcrowded then...not any more!

[@ARofficial1]

Ah the screaming Valentas

[@TheosTrainsWalesOfficial]

How many class 90’s did GNER order?

[@FinnTom101]

None they hired 90024 from EWS who painted into the GNER Livery which had no branding
