Filmed just a day before the Hitachi class 800, IET's were pulled from service due to a number of faults & cracks found on them. Quite a nice May afternoon at Bristol, sun shining & the smell of diesel trains in the air.
INCLUDES:
Cross Country HST's & Voyagers and Great Western Railway "Castle Set" class 255 HST's, 165's, 158's & IET's.
There's also an additional shot of a XC HST departing Birmingham New St later that evening, after bringing me from Bristol. The service proceeds north to Leeds with a service from Plymouth.
Thanks for watching!

The GWR livery is just brilliant!

[@trainsandplanes6801]

One of the trains that go to my train stations calls at bristol temple meads!!

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

Ah the memories...I used to travel from Ireland to Fairford to attend RIAT..temple meads was my fist meeting point...love the architecture of the building

[@tristanbeck6478]

I never knew GWR still operated HST’s!

[@adamwalpole1180]

They run on the Penzance route

[@TrainPlaneHub]

Cardiff to Taunton mainly too

[@tristanbeck6478]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@jjyt5708]

Aahh, FGW blue class 166. Childhood memories

[@benGBRf]

Nice footage 👍

[@roywatson8133]

great video but would you please point your camrea at were the bath road shed used to be for a few seconds to bring back a few memoires for us older trainspotters

[@SiddoNotts]

13:13 - Good to see XC still operating the HST set. Probably not for much longer, mind.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

XC currently have no set end date and their HST’s meet all Dft requirements with sliding doors & disabled passenger facilities onboard.

[@SiddoNotts]

@@TrainPlaneHub That's good to know! I think EMR aren't far off from retiring their fleet.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

@@SiddoNotts EMR got rid of them last week. Check out my most recent upload.

[@theimperialist2686]

Great railway video as always

[@themightyzanoss8409]

nice one

[@beta.3984]

How come there are no SWR trains? I thought they ran to Temple Meads on their way to Exeter SD.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

Nope. SWR do run trains every other hour to Bristol. But not the ones that go to Exeter. The ones to Exeter go a different route from Salisbury via Yeovil to Exeter. Not via Bristol

[@beta.3984]

@@TrainPlaneHub ah

[@beta.3984]

@@TrainPlaneHub it’s only because I remember getting a SWR train to both Bristol and Exeter

[@liamprosser6316]

Idk why but I miss the old pink and purple colours of the first great western trains.. made the stations a bit more lively..

[@belgianrail1]

So the 43s are still running?

[@belgianrail1]

Exept that this time, with sliding doors.

[@ttvvideos2050]

Yes they are

[@adamwalpole1180]

Yes - on the Penzance route

[@TrainPlaneHub]

They’re called “castle sets” now & only have 4 coaches. They operate local services in Devon & Cornwall and services from Cardiff to Taunton

[@kevinharrison7055]

Right now Most of the class 800 Hitachi trains are not running Due to cracks in them

[@tristanbeck6478]

Oh dear

[@prime6134]

I don’t see the point of swr running 158 through bristol
