Regional Railwaves: Synth Sprinter

[@bbrs925]

I was always in awe / terrified by the front of a 158 approaching the platform. A murderous loom with those lights and cab !

[@pkscarr]

not gonna lie I think the front end of the 158 is possibly the best looking DMU out there. Simple, purposeful, practical, no trying too hard to look aerodynamic.

[@LightRailSystemOfficial]

To be fair the front of the class 158 does like kinda like a smiling face, so i see where your going there

[@KerbalRocketry]

@@pkscarr the 158 is hands down the best looking multiple unit from the front. why even try at aerodynamics it's got enough power and only goes 90mph. it's a train not a plane and it knows that.

[@staycgirlsitsgoingdown2]

Don’t cry because it’s over, cry because they took this away from you

[@thepacerman]

its not over?

[@Midrail]

Loved these trains. Miss the east midlands ones already 😢 Rip emt sprinters

[@petec2583]

Love a 158/159, plenty of them still knocking around over Bristol way :) Always smile when I see one of those instead of a boring 165/166.

[@somax1259]

out of all the British railwaves this is the best one

[@erikaitsumi3852]

A new type of music is being born right here.

[@loco4loco]

So 80’s & 90’s

[@Chomp-Rock]

Synthwave isn't new.

Great video! Absolutely love both the sprinters and Howling.

[@routemaster3877]

This is like the 4th or 5th time I've watched this now 👍

[@uberkelvin]

absolute gem of a video and soundtrack!

[@BritishTrainspotting]

Nice that you have a clip of the Thailand export of the 158

[@Isee3]

Easter egg - well spotted!

[@BritishTrainspotting]

@@Isee3 Well I didn't think I'd be getting two eggs this year :p

[@alexishamer6427]

Back then in the old days many previous years ago before the year 2023, there were regional railways 🚆 wearing the British Rail livery. British Rail had a mark like 👍 this with the lines until around 1996. Bring back British Rail. 🙂

[@Likasense]

I think the franchise Liveries are actually pretty neat, but I hope they Renationalise the railways and restore lots of abandoned railways

[@Croydon387]

You sound like a bot because of that first line

[@Croydon387]

198th time I’ve listened to this

[@RealMagmaDash]

i love this video so much

[@thepacerman]

i went on a 158 (158750) at the start of the year and it was so much smoother and quieter than the modern dmus

[@joshuanishanthchristian5217]

R A I L W A V E. Also, I honestly think I might have ridden on one of the actual trains in that video at some point Edit: I like how you snuck in a couple of the Thai State Railways' Sprinters in there as well

[@tr_nt.]

Most likely, the Class 150, 153, 155, 156 and 158 can be seen operating all over the UK outside of London.

[@dannypaulread1023]

155 trains operate between Bridlington o York! Still going strong.

[@pissbabygrandad]

Think there's some on the Lowestoft line. Once caught one while football fans were rammed on for the Ipswich Town FC match. Don't even like football, but it was a good vibe.

[@roycemurgatroyd7963]

Bradford interchange sometimes has a 150 still

[@thepacerman]

@@roycemurgatroyd7963the west country is still 55-70% sprinters

[@Croydon387]

796th time watching this

[@BadRAM512]

Did you rebrand on purpose or did KZbin revoke your channel name like they did mine?

[@Isee3]

I've been conveniently forced ;(

[@Epic_gamer188]

I want someone to do one on trains in a Australian state

[@AzureOtsu]

try using the Roland JV-1080 & Sc-88 for those really classic synth nosies that they used in production for that era, the Proteus VX also achieves similar early orchestral synth noises being used to compose the soundtrack for Thomas the tank engine

[@Isee3]

Noted! Musical equipment of the time does interest me, I'll have to have a play.

[@AzureOtsu]

@@Isee3 if you look at the Roland cloud you can get vst demos of these synths and the Proteus VX is free!

[@nightw4tchman]

Nice to see a young Paul Tyreman making an appearance. He's going nowhere.

[@BritishTrainspotting]

what, where?

[@nightw4tchman]

@@BritishTrainspotting 4:09 I think it's him.

[@Epic_gamer188]

This music is epok

[@Croydon387]

I’m making a drawing based of this scene: 1:12

[@WMeridian]

Can you do the class 222 training music

[@Isee3]

This is a good suggestion!

[@BritishTrainspotting]

@@Isee3 I second their suggestion! The hardest part is finding the source of the music though. The 222 training music is honestly brilliant and definitely fits the Railwave vibe.

[@user-oc7jh3hw6e]

Fast & slow? Get you a boi who can do both 💪💪

[@Croydon387]

1794th time

[@berillyispog]

Do one on eurostar

[@danielabuzura]
