The Railway Review To The Class 175 & 180

As always, a massive thanks once more to Railway Graphics for drawing the fantastic artwork for the thumbnail. You can see more of their work here: / train.graphics
The only thing more predictable than the UK's weather are the jokes I will be reciving in the comments section involving these trips. Only your originality will be going nowhere at this rate. Hope you enjoy nonetheless!
All films/photos outside of the jokes were taken by me, Major Wales and my friend JVids24.

The 180 is the older brother who wasn't cared or appriciated by their parents and the 175 was the younger brother who got all the pampering and attention.

[@class395fan]

T-T-That's just sad!

[@ILikeTransport]

Apart from the fact the 175s are slightly older...

@Baby.leafy- i was cringe back then

[@SW_Sarah]

i rode a 175 from Hereford to Newport a couple years back, that was probably the most comfortable i'd ever been on a train, ever i'd happily ride one all the way on a route to see what they're like on longer journeys, welsh countryside in comfort sounds nice

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

As do i, though the longest journey on a 175 I've rode on was Bridgend to Newport, about 31 miles.

Lol yet again.

[@threeninetyexpress9243]

I don’t why, but between 1:08 and 1:15. I was literally dying in laughter, maybe it was because of the funny but cute whale picture. Nevertheless you’ve made my day with this video, thank you.

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Beluga whales are absolutely adorable.

[@threeninetyexpress9243]

Agreed.

[@thetrainkid3177]

if they were reliable, I would rank the class 180 higher than the 222s. they look simply beautiful. Can’t say the same for the 175 lol

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

It's a pity they aren't :(

[@signalwalid25trainz50]

I can't wait for the time you decide to do the Desiro city as there like the IET for the commuter service and marked the beginning of the ironing board seating for trains after that

[@mattevans4377]

It's worse than you think. LNER are ordering bi mode 397s to replace their class 91s, instead of IETs, simply because they are cheaper. Given the major focus on bean counters over everything else now, I can see these units being ordered for everywhere else....

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Bi Mode 397s eh? Facinating. I haven't rode on the 397s yet, but I'll be interested to try them as long as they aren't 5 cars.

[@mattevans4377]

@@MaverickHunterDaniel Apparently they'll be 10 cars with LNER. The current TPE ones are all 5 car though....

Very cool video about the coradias, I'm surprised you didn't cover that new LNG trial however, last time I was on that unit the engine idled the whole way and did not rev. The top speed for that trip was barely 100

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Main reason I didn't mention it was that I had no idea what it was until I did some googling just now. Not filming it didn't help reminding me either.

[@jasonjones7634]

The class 180 are my favorite trains i love how sound stationery n how they look n i love there routes to Sunderland to london kings cross

These trains have been memed to death for 1000 years and will continue to be for 1000 years more. Still, thanks to JVids24 and Major Wales for donating me clips of these units to use here!

I travelled on a 175 on Friday from Newport all the way to Manchester which was a 2 car unit on it's own, normal I know but I was the last person to get on at Newport before they had to turn people away on the platform! Thankfully Abergavenny was an almost total clearout so managed to get a seat, good job I was tired and wanted to have a nap with how far the seats lean back!

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Hahaha, you poor man. Good thing you got on board lest you be waiting another hour for another packed service! :D Still, well done for the stations again. I believe the German clip was filmed at Stuttgart Hbf, but I'll have to ask my friend again on that. I'll give you the extinguisher this time. :D

I’ve been on the class 175 and it was decent but it would be better if the coaches are longer.

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

If the coaches were made longer, you'd start hearing some rather concerning metallic scraping when going via Earlestown.

The coaches are 24m, so pretty standard length even for new units. The only ones with longer coaches really are the IETs

EMR could be getting HSTs from XC

[@LucyMichela]

Fun fact. Someone told me EMR are likely to KEEP their 180s longer than planned, because of IET delays, and for WHATEVER reason, they may in fact keep the 180s on till the last batch of IETs arrive. Why? Because the 222s may likely be transferred to XC, but no one wants the 180s... so EMR are keeping them? I hate EMR
