New!! Great Northern (Ex-C2C) Class 387/3s at King’s Lynn (In Service!) (25/08/22)

[@LucasTheElectrostar]

Blue doors, way nicer than the green ones.

[@DanielGNTrains]

True, do like how the doors sorta match the logos.

[@paulhenson8807]

I saw 387-301 yesterday at my local station before it went off to kings Lynn.

[@Chumpmonksvideos8885]

Yes, and to be fair, I think I actually like the c2c livery better on Great Northern, because it really suits it, because of the blue doors.

[@adamashelby7033]

I feel like all the gn 387s need a livery refresh and interior refresh so it isn’t just a southern train with gn decals on it

[@DanielGNTrains]

You want GN to do something somewhat useful? No way. They can't even clean their own trains 95% of the time, don't think that'd ever happen haha

[@adamashelby7033]

@@DanielGNTrains oh that is true 😂 if gn were useful then they wouldn’t have bothered with these units in the first place!

[@DanielGNTrains]

@@adamashelby7033 Exactly haha, could've keep the 365s or got some decent stock and had them run instead of their pathetic so called 'new trains'

[@adamashelby7033]

@@DanielGNTrains there was nothing wrong with the 365s and they were far superior to the 387s- no ironing board seats there!

[@DanielGNTrains]

@@adamashelby7033 They were 100x more comfortable and better in general, definitely one of the best trains ever to exist in the UK

Great catch

Thank you!

Great video. ☺️ Edit: I just subscribed to ur KZbin channel.

Thank you!

[@paulhenson8807]

Are these 387s still in service?

[@DanielGNTrains]

Yes, they work along with the GN 387/1s and the EX-GX 387/2s.

[@paulhenson8807]

Will have to look out for the 387/3s. I have a week holiday in may.

[@stephensmith1553]

It’s a shame it’s not the fleet of 379/ as there much better trains

[@DanielGNTrains]

I think they'll be coming soon, but I have a feeling GN will absolutely ruin the interiors so they'll be the same as 387s anyway

[@Andrewjg_89]

Great Northern should of inherited the Class 379 Electrostars from Greater Anglia that are in storage and to use them on London King’s Cross-King’s Lynn, Cambridge, Cambridge North and Ely.

[@DanielGNTrains]

I'm pretty sure they're planning to do that, just don't know when

[@Andrewjg_89]

@@DanielGNTrains Ok 👍

[@bb-3653]

@@DanielGNTrains hopefully when they do that, maybe the possibility of 717s going 100mph could happen ?

[@DanielGNTrains]

@@bb-3653 Maybe, need to first see if they actually do it lol

[@bb-3653]

@@DanielGNTrains there were rumours of them being tested, they basically have the same acceleration rate as the 700s tbh and sound the same, meaning the motors may be geared the exact same.
