The class 185 is one of my favourite trains in the uk

[@idontremembermylogin]

definitely because of the mile long trek from platform 13

Congratulations on 10k baby xxxxx

[@barryaldridge1113]

Really loved this race and the descriptions on what’s going on. It reminds me of the old school top gear races back in the day.

[@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq]

Who'd have thought a train journey that literally starts off going almost half a mile in completely the wrong direction, then joins the second worst bottleneck in the UK rail system and ends with several hundred yards of walking would take longer than a direct cross city tram ride to well a located well located stop? Ken was always gonna win.

[@jazzygeofferz]

I wonder whether it could have been quicker to have caught one of the airport/East Didsbury trams to St Peter's Square and get a tram to Piccadilly from there as opposed to waiting for the Piccadilly tram at Victoria?

I felt so conflicted about who I wanted to win! Ultimately I had to go by mode of transport so obviously I ended up rooting for the train. Still pleased for Jen winning though!

[@GLovesTrains]

Trains rule!

[@katrinabryce]

It is a Transpennine though, so obviously it wouldn't win even against a tortoise.

[@transportmanchester3299]

Train loops round the city rather than tram can just go right through, dwell times per stop will probably be smaller too.

[@ReubenAshwell]

Lol you pulled Jen out from getting her coffee. 😂 Brilliant collaboration between you and Jen. A tram is faster than a train? How is that possible? Guess HS2 needs trams to run on it now lol. Also I did visit Manchester twice last year and on one trip I did see the Odsall Chord and saw some Northern Filthy Buggers (trains I've loved since I was living in Brighton but I've said that plenty of times lol) working on there so it may be possible Northern do run on it but I haven't checked lately.

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks! Jen doesn't stop drinking coffee haha

[@equaltoreality8028]

I used to live there, while the Train has the speed and stop advantage, it has to take a long route around, where as the Tram cuts through the city. Also the platform the Train comes in on is quite far from the station entrance by a considerable amount whereas the Tram, despite coming in underground comes out in the middle of the station and is a much shorter route. Frankly, the train was always going to lose between those two stations, just simply because of the platform configuration.

[@BevMattocks]

Hey, Jen, i've got the blue dungarees version of your dress! 😊

[@stevemcgowen]

Here in Prague trams are faster than the metro. Even if the trains go faster you lose time getting down to the platform and back up.

[@streetrambler134]

looks like a race to Canada Water station or Canada in Wellow Hampshire then 😉 Great video

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha thanks!

[@JasonCliftJones]

A few minutes at Victoria, 9 minutes on the train, then the walk from Platform 13 (another few mins)... ...it only takes about 15-20 minutes to walk between the two. I walk it :) Good race though :)

[@GLovesTrains]

Walking is fun!

[@andywright3450]

Hey G how are you darling ... Great little video this u gunna do anymore off this sort of videos please cheers x 😊💯

[@timbounds7190]

Shows you the insanity of modern transport planning. TPE trains from the east used to go straight into Piccadilly, now they spend forever circling the west of the city, and it would probably be quicker to walk from Victoria than even taking the tram!!

[@Thornaby37]

When two KZbin legends meet......... I must admit I was expecting you both to arrive at the bollards outside the station at exactly the same time, as it looked very close If Canada is too far for your next race with Jen, maybe you could have a race to Euxton Balshaw Lane instead

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha that is the ultimate race 😂

[@eastwestdividetrains]

Next race: Rotherham Central to some coffee shop in Meadowhall shopping centre, (A) by train to Meadowhall station and walk across the bridge and (B) tram-train to Meadowhall South tram stop and walk through the car park? There's a xx58 train and a xx02 tram most hours.

[@Saskue78]

I would not of thought the tram would of won as the train seemed quicker the tram was properly close to the finish point as you had to come from the train platform to the finish point. Awesome.🙂

Thanks!

[@Howardthompson]

What! I'm from Huddersfield and love 185's! Purpose built for the transpennine route, far better than the class 802's etc which are under-powered in diesel mode.

[@thisis_mudchute]

Race to Canada, one goes out of Manchester Airport and another goes out of Luton Luton Airport

[@mattevans4377]

You could do Lime Street to Chester. One via Merseyrail, the other via TFW. Or maybe Helsby, the previous stop, so the Merseyrail user has to change at Ellesmere Port.

Interesting race. It did seem that Gs route had lots more walking involved. I would like to see races based on several factors Time taken of course Cost and this is rarely factored in Stress,ease

[@simondavey7787]

That result did surprise me. I didn't know that you could get a train from Victoria to Piccadilly. It is about 15 years since I commuted through Manchester; is the direct train a new thing? I knew yo could get the tram, but the train is a new one on me.

personally, I'm not too surprised that the tram beat the train here... I suspect the tram has better acceleration than the class 185s do, and between that and the walk from platform to exit at Piccadilly, that might have been enough to make the difference
