The 805s (and probably the 807 too) are also good hitachi trains, theyve massively improved on majority of the things that were hated on previous models, eg the seats

[@TrainMan2345]

They Have, Huh. May need to review them.

[@xbx.trains2192]

First time I've laughed a train video. You deserve more subscribers

[@Max-uy5sg]

That is so true

[@Nicky_TM]

Honestly I think Hitachi's problems are a UK thing considering they don't experience many issues in Taiwan where they operate aswel (I'm ignoring their acquisition of Ansaldo-Breda)

[@bb-3653]

The front ends just shouldn't have looked that abhorrent.

[@bb-3653]

@@True_NOON for some reason the 380s more tolerable. But could have been modified to be a little better too.

[@True_NOON]

@@bb-3653 well they have a bit of slope but the gangway folds back so that for 1 the sight to the right(incase needed) is far greater aswell as there being less space between the dash and windshield(what i got from tsw)

great video mate

[@Lukas-eh3dd]

Well man, I have some suggestions for reviews, but they are too many, so I'm just gonna say a few of them, class 465, 700 and 377/5, thanks for your time, and great video (again)

[@TrainMan2345]

Similar to the request for the 730s I would review at least one of these but due to budget cuts I will have to leave them for the future.

[@Lukas-eh3dd]

@@TrainMan2345 np man, thanks

[@mindthegap125shorts7]

I think that the 385 is a good train that has helped Scotrail with there services. But it lacks the charm that older trains have.

[@mindthegap125shorts7]

Also I think you should do the intercity 125. 🚂

[@TrainMan2345]

That's an easy one at least.

[@colinhemfrey4835]

Very amusing, and slick, production. As a regular traveller on GLA-EDIN route, I generally agree with your review conclusions. The ride can be bumpy, especially if the driver steps on the gas, but the interiors are good.

[@randomdude63406]

Brilliant video, Maybe do the new 730s from the WMR? In my opinion apart from the AC and charging ports they seem like and overall downgrade from the 323s and 350s.

[@TrainMan2345]

That would be one I'd be willing tay do but its a bit difficult to get down there and film them as I am based at basically the opposite end of the country, May do them in the future.

[@IainBruce7]

Really enjoyed this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂

[@svartmetall48]

Only good Hitachi train in the UK you mean. Seems to be a UK problem rather than a Hotachi problem as they are much better in other countries.

[@Rorywizz]

I am gonna miss the 380s but I do like the 385s for what they are

[@TrainMan2345]

Pretty Much in the same boat as me then

[@RobotDaniel10]

Interesting video, would be nice to see a review of the 220/221s

[@TrainMan2345]

Alright, they were quite high up on the list of potential trains anyway so they will get a review probably in the next few weeks

[@RobotDaniel10]

@@TrainMan2345 nice

[@True_NOON]

No , the cabs atent just like the usual postbox but also ACTUAL TUNNELS , especially the windows , the 380s solved it better

[@JackHymers-cq6kt]

395s are good too

[@alexpeak16]

Those Southeastern HS1 units are proof Hitachi can make good trains for the UK. When the DfT get involved and force designs and seats on the cheap like they did with IETs, they are cack.

[@TrainMan2345]

Forgot they even existed.

[@Reshumbox]

aye 🙌🥃

[@railwaychannel66745]

The only Hitachi trains that are good is the 385, 805, and 395

[@TrainMan2345]

yea, I'm starting to hear lots of good things about the 805/807 and the 395
