NEW TransPennine Express Class 68 + Mk5 'Nova 3' - First Class Review (Scarborough to Liverpool)

[@tombore9516]

It's nice to see a actual train with loco and coaches not just another DMU

[@transitcaptain]

I agree

[@NorthernUlvenKi]

It’s really great to see trip report KZbinrs do the “show. Don’t tell” method of these trips reports. No music. No voice over. No fancy and over the top editing. Just a camera.

[@Alexx120493]

The Class 68 has the potential to become an instant classic with train enthusiasts. It looks good, it performs well and for a 21st century diesel loco it has a suprisingly nice sound

[@AtheistOrphan]

I still can’t get used to seeing U.K trains without yellow ends!

[@Jack.harrison6]

I sorta prefer the black fronts

[@Silvera-Avian]

The Mk5 carriages are a worthy successor to the Mk3s. Sure they don't *quite* live up to them, but as far as I'm concerned they're easily good enough. Far better than the IETs in any case.

What about the Mk4s?

[@axelthorpe]

Personally I love the 68s, but then again I prefer locomotives+carriage over emu/dmu

[@Silvera-Avian]

Absolutely, but multiple units are more popular for a reason. They're a lot better for traction up inclines etc and this makes them more efficient and less costly to operate. Don't get me wrong though, I love the Nova 3 sets.

[@Sarahbryson321]

Same

[@WildWildWeasel]

EMU/DMUs are better in nearly every way, more efficient and quicker. Also cheaper to maintain and operate.

[@sonarfreq]

I love the paint job on all of them! This livery is just superb and really striking and modern. The Class 68 is my favourite, but they all look great!

[@markknight3983]

Compared to the always crowded 3 carriage class 185 we used to have these are heaven !!

[@SuperalbsTravels]

It's a large capacity uplift for sure!

[@alanchandler254]

Great futuristic livery, and a vast improvement over the earlier trains. The Mk5 coaches look well thought out and to me comfortable, biggest complaint on any of the trains is the comfort of the seating. Good video, like the no commentary approach.

[@JFinney]

The units normally sit at YRK and other major stations due to pathing constraints in a non-covid world, and to allow for changes of crew and (this used to be the case with the 185s at YRK) to load/restock trolleys for the onboard service. It would appear they've just not removed the layovers from the services at the major stops for some reason during Covid.

[@1970jel]

I love the livery of the train and it's modern classy look inside.

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Indeed, it's a striking look!

[@colin.d]

It's Trans Pennine but not so much of the Express with all these waits en route.

[@muk8804]

The waits are to facilitate proper interchange for passengers on local stopping trains and other regional express services incase of people requiring ramp deployment , mobility assistance and to account for delays with other services so you don't miss your connection. 12 minutes has always been the case since British Rail for exactly that reason . 25 mins (double ) may be due to York being a major interchange for national services from Scotland and London , which could easily be subject to such a delay .

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Can't say I liked the first class of a 185, much prefer second class. But still, I like these new trains. :) Glad you enjoyed the video. For a really rough ride, try out one of the TPE Class 802s, they are truly all over the place.

[@gt-lv3zo]

Chiltern have been running loco hauled sets for a few years now from the West Midlands to Marylebone on their Mainline Silver services, also with Class 68 power. They are a great way to travel - spacious, clean, tables aligned with windows, power points and WiFi (if you are very lucky !)

Thank you. 🙏 There were a bunch of loud weird trainspotters making odd noises, so it was hard to film for the journey to York. However, it has received a mention in other videos. :)

[@chrisinnes2128]

I think the reason for the 25 minute wait at York is due to the Edinburgh train not coming in til 15 minutes after the Scarborough train to allow people from the Edinburgh train to catch the liverpool one

[@CityWhisperer]

[@470danadidas]

I love the TPE livery. Wish GWR could show a bit more imagination with their train livery. Each of the train sets are great but the Nova 3 is by far the most characterful. I just love that diesel engine burble.

I do certainly like the Nova 3! :)

[@neilboulton9813]

GWR have shown imagination and their retro livery and the branding in dark green is superb. Certainly compared to First Western livery which was awful.

Maybe 'real' trains will catch on again. Although you have to travel in first to have the seats match the window and running fixed rakes makes me think they're losing some flexibility. But Hitachis' machines seem to be multiplying at the moment. Hopefully the mk.3s will find a good home .

[@bluewrenreilly129]

Beautiful train.

[@jollyjohnston1984]

Looking at the timetables, it's a stitched together path. The train runs in the Scarborough path as far as York, then the Ncl to Mcr air path as far as Victoria and finally the Edinburgh to lime Street path. It will be to keep the departures the same as key hubs throughout the day, but also mix up where the trains run to and from😊

[@wingnutta]

This is EXACTLY what it is, a pure and simple covid era diagram im afraid. Although frustrating, it provides some padding for delays too. In the Dec timetable, this will go and be replaced by a full Liv - Scar daily timetable pre-covid with 4 x Nova 3's in service. HOWEVER this is subject to us not being in lockdown at that time...

[@davemagee123]

@@wingnutta are the 68s still being used during covid? Where do they come through Manchester? Which routes do they cover?

[@wingnutta]

@@davemagee123 Yes we are still on them but they are mainly doing Sca - York shuttles. There is 1 in the midnight that goes to Liv and then up to scar, but I think that's it for Liverpool for the day... A couple of stock reshuffles during the day between Vic and longsight and that's about it I'm afraid..

[@agent_605]

I think the 25 minute layover at York has something to do with pathing over the TPE route. When the COVID timetable was introduced, the Liverpool-Scarborough service was cut, with it running as a shuttle from York, whilst the Liverpool-Edinburgh route (cut back to Newcastle) took its path. That way, for passengers still making a through journey, there was a quick and easy connection at York. However, for the few services that still continue through to Liverpool, they now have to use the path that used to be for the Newcastle service, which is why there’s a 25 minute wait

[@danensis]

The big problem with the current trans-pennine express trains is that a lot of people are travelling to Manchester Airport, and there just isn't enough luggage space. Before COVID I got fed up of being squashed in between loads of enormous suitcases and bags. Are these new trains any better?

[@SuperalbsTravels]

There was lots of room between seats, above seats, and at the ends of carriages.

[@chrisinnes2128]

I was thinking as you passed the NRM image a steam locomotive pulling these coaches maybe Mallard or The Dutchess of Hamilton

[@southerntransport466]

I saw a Chiltern Loco Hauled Train 68 at the back and a DVT at the front with a guards carriage behind that had slam doors

Yep, there is (was?) one set like that!

[@southerntransport466]

[@ThingsWithEngines]

This is making me seriously miss the 68 + Mk2 sets that we used to get on the Fife Circle. That noise! It's just the best thing about 68s, and the Mk2F carriages made a tremendous noise as well. And to answer your question, out of the Nova sets I've only ever travelled on a 397, so I suppose that one is my favourite, although I'd definitely like to give the Nova 3 a try one day.

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Yeah you have to give the 3 a go, they're pretty nice. :) And of course you do have that lovely 68 giving the gusto.

[@alex_hay2779]

The 25 minute wait was so the train could follow under a different path. The tt in operation during this video, we didn’t have the on the hour Liverpool from Scarborough at Leeds like normal. So what happened was, this would come into York under its correct SCA-LIV path, sit and then leave in what would be the **49 to Liverpool. Hence why u stopped at DEW, AND Newton-le-willows

The 68s might be slightly quicker than the 185s (although I'm not sure if they are overall, as I have a feeling that locos may have a lower speed limit than DMUs on some sections of the Scarborough line), but we're talking about one or two minutes ... not making up 20 minutes on a 50 minute journey!

No idea why there's a long wait at Manchester and York but I can almost guarantee it won't be just for the fun of allowing passengers to see the stations. There will be an operational reason. It may be for a connection but it could be for a crew change which for some reason needs that long.
