A few errors at 8:03 1. It's a 175 not a 170. 2. It's in First North Western livery not FGW.

David your many. ..many videos are better than all the history classes given in Canada.Love you work.

[@david-othen]

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I am dying of lung cancer (no I was nit a smoker) so there may not be many more. Let me know if there is any special Canadian or British topic you would like to see!

Just to say that when you showed the Class 175s, you said they were in former FGW livery, when in fact they were used by First North Western (different operators) when they ran the North Wales Coastal services. When Arriva took the North Wales line, they moved some to the South Wales line, in exchange for some 158s I believe

Hi, sorry to say that David Othen died on September 21st. David's widow asked that I look after his KZbin channel so that people could continue to enjoy his videos.
