Badger on Tour! Part 2 | BR Class 89 | East Coast Main Line

After getting the Class 89 to King's Cross, it's time to depart northbound! In this leg, we take the train as far as Steeeeeeeeevenage where the first photo opportunity break awaits, and what an opportunity it is...

24:04 reference to flying through a red in a Class 37, eventually stopping on the crossover points and being hit by a Class 221 as a result ;)

[@Channel-ij5px]

spotify95 what are you talking about that “Never” happened did it?

[@conallplatts3039]

I went through those tunnels in 313s and my ears had trouble. Also, you missed a screenshot opportunity when you rejoined the 4 tracks at Knebworth

[@tapchangerproductions]

The reason people often record horn montages at Hadley Wood is the drivers honk to tell them to get off that platform

[@TheSpotify95]

Nice - can't wait for part 3 :) Loved the double rail tour - and the IC125 is the best train that I've been on :)

[@SearleD01]

It would be great to see more of these unsuccessful locos made for TS like the Class 23/29, Class 28 and the early AC's. The locos that were either test beds/experiments or just bad designs that had short service lives.

[@willrussell2134]

I wish we had an ac locomotives pack with class 81-85.

[@Nathan_A_RF]

Lovely video as always. I enjoy seeing the HUD in action. I'm not sure how easy it would be to build more tracks just south of Peterborough as the Holme and Conington area are peat bogs and are actually home to the lowest point in the country (2m below sea level). So unstable ground to build on let alone keep running trains on.

'Which photo to take a train of'- Moleman 2020

[@Crewecabking]

They are planning on making class 89’s but they only make it if people show enough interest you can fill a form on rails of Sheffield to show your interest in the class 89

[@jonlatham5301]

Shut up and dance with me.... Eh eh eh eheheh eh oo oo a shut up and dance. 😂

[@Trainspotter11_]

Another Fantastic video Moleman! I really enjoyed this :)

[@dancohen9141]

Do that train up in your more mainline Library and that would look really cool

[@NSE465]

Actually Moleman, the class 717 has a top speed of 85mph. I'd have thought it was 100 too but it's actually 85mph which kinda sucks

[@cactustown5237]

Petition to build platforms at Welwyn GC on the fast lines. That way, fast services by GN can call there, and LNER can serve the stop on a limited basis.

[@oscarbaldry3399]

Where do you get the class 801 hull trains reskin from?

[@japwashere]

Everything about the 89 is outstanding!....Apart from the lights. It makes the whole train look ugly at the same time the lights is the thing that makes it look like a "Badger". So imo if the one thing on the train that makes it look like it's nickname is bad, the whole picture of the train is ruined...Unless of course they change the name...Which I don't have an idea for so I guess we will stay with ugly ol' Badger :D

[@ben.taylor]

The top speed of the 717s will surprise you. 85mph.

[@TheSpotify95]

24:04 Aah yes, the glorious Class 37 vs Class 221 moment that was captured... "train derailment due to a player collision", you don't say! :p

[@randomclass4653]

class 89.. its good and has been confused of a Class 90 copy.

[@Bahamas-rd8le]

The 89 was literally the bed test for the 90s/91s

[@ryanworthvalley]

Great video did you clone the original scenarios i cant edit career it says this is locked.

[@Moleman978]

Yep, clone them first and you can do whatever you want

[@class8007]

Is the pressure problem a thing even on the non-flat-front trains? Azuma, 90, etc... I ask because I went to Japan recently, and enterring a tunnel at 170mph didn't produce any noticable pressure problems. The problem occured when two trains passed each other, and you were forced to one side, then a few seconds later forced back again, which was really quite violent. I learnt quickly not to lean my head against the window!

[@Bahamas-rd8le]

@Class 91 - yes it is, it’s the tunnel air pressure

[@class8007]

I know that, which is why I was curious regarding the more aerodynamic trains, as there was no problem on the Shinkansen at twice the speed that it is apparently a problem in the UK. But going by what you say, maybe it is a difference in tunnel design rather than train design.

[@oliverthegreatwesternengin8029]

Would be nice if this 800 EP could also include a headlight patch as the real 800's dont have day/night settings for theyr lights. They have all the lights on at once.

Are the 'trainspotters' part of the Class 89 DLC? or is it from another route?

They are included with the 89 yes, otherwise they wouldn't appear for players who don't own another requirement
