Loco-hauled Trains Return To The WCML For Avanti West Coast - 86401 + 90002

[@folkeklarstrom3668]

The people who happened to ride these trains were really lucky!

[@paulcaswell2813]

I used to travel New Street/Euston on these regularly. Still miss 'em.

[@johnnyboy3949]

That intercity swallow train is smart as fuck! Need to go back to that livery! Beautiful

[@shahedmc9656]

They should have imposed that livery on all Inter-City trains regardless of franchise. Very classy. Far better that the blob of paint we get over the door areas nowadays.

[@jacobmoss6830]

They put in one hell of a showing, one of the runs by 86401 is the second fastest ever clocked between euston and crewe by a member of the class.

[@tangerinedream7211]

Immaculate condition,they look superb, thanks for the upload.

Loco hauled MKIII coaches (1st class no less) knocks the Pendos and Class 800s into a cocked hat comfort-wise! In fact even the MKII coaches have better ride than the EMUs'! Bring back proper trains I say! :D

[@TrainPlaneHub]

The class 800’s and pendolinos can’t be compared. The pendos are brilliant trains the IET’s are rancid

[@maimadha]

@@TrainPlaneHub IETs are the worst intercity train

[@neilcobb1731]

Class 86 & 90 back on the WCML (with the Class 90 in Intercity livery) - just like the good old days

[@lb_reflections]

I had to double-check that I wasn't watching a video from the '90s😅

[@ThermoMan]

It’s a pity I can only like this video once. The trains and the photography are both superb.

[@johnotooledoggames2336]

Hi from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 very good upload brilliant sharing of the train 🚆

[@Desiro360]

Awesome footage of the loco hauled extras. Nicely done.

[@JohnPW22]

Stunning!!

[@Courtney53035]

Brilliant

[@theimperialist2686]

Awesome railway footage

[@himanshusharma5141]

Superb capture

[@soundseeker63]

Both sets looking superb! Though I notice the 90s sound a little different to how they did originally, did GA fit different style blowers when they were with them I wonder?

[@adamw2911]

Class 86 hauling 11 mk2s and managing impressive timings even though it's limited to 100mph.

[@PaddyWV]

Did you get the 80's and 90's ticket prices too? Before the profiteers took over.

[@terrymoore9388]

Apologies didn't read the full title. Thought it was the LSL set

[@butikimbo9595]

@Terry Moore ive not wote "Avanti Train" but Avanti Extras instead if you are aware of. I was very clear about that and is not even a logic point of desagreement or correction on that. Please do not mention words that i've not included in my comment to open a non sense discussion as in my point of view that is what give youtube and social media bad reputation not for the websites itself but because some people simply do not reflect before post. Sorry to be honest with you but is what it is. Take care and good luck in your comments

[@manomaylr]

These aren’t operated by Avanti, there’s a different company running the Friday Charters.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

These are not the Friday charter. That was a Friday only thing operated by LSL. These trains were operating in addition to Avanti west coast

[@manomaylr]

@@TrainPlaneHub interesting to see them in swallow livery though and not Avanti livery

[@ianhiggon-caswell4225]

Fantastic video could someone remind me what class the blue one was many thanks

[@thederbyshirespotter454]

Class 86

[@joeking5310]

Were these the only locomotives available?

[@miahaskurti4539]

Wow. Can Avanti West Coast Increase Services Including Increasing North Wales To London Services

[@butikimbo9595]

With the new order for Hitachi bi-mode units it seems almost impossible in the next future. Perhaps it could happen in the meantime but im am a bit sceptic.

[@ejs229]

Could anyone have gone on these or were they first class charters only?

[@TrainPlaneHub]

Anyone could go on them.

[@ILIKERUGBYWIRE]

could you do more planes at manchester Airport???

[@butikimbo9595]

The best video i've seen of Avanti Extras so far. Thank you for sharing.

[@terrymoore9388]

This train is not Avanti

SHET1 NOT WAS PROMISED

[@markwilson4052]

Why were these in service?

[@TrainPlaneHub]

Read the description.

[@dollydiddums7889]

👍

[@garyfitzpatrick3562]

Yeah this is absolutely fantastic. The taxpayers spent billions upgrading west coast mainline and introducing tilting trains to reduce journey times. Then the Tory government gives the franchise to a bus company and we end up using heritage rolling stock to run a service. This is tremendous and shows that the UK are going to make a total success of HS2 when it's complete. Maybe we will be running Voyagers on HS2 in 20 years because Avanti West Coast are hiring them in from a charter company!

[@keepgoing1973]

Inter city is the ugliest train ever made.
