Amazing compilation. Well done. ;-) Greetings from Argentina. Best regards. Carlos.

[@adamhaigh9947]

Thank you!

[@ruthnarzari587]

Oh! In India, the Bullet train will be launche by the year 2022. But will the standard and quality be same as this Azuma? I am wondering.

[@adamhaigh9947]

From my minimal research, the trains used on the Indian line will be the same ones used in Japan.

[@CasperTrains]

Great video 👍👍

[@adamhaigh9947]

Thanks! Sad to see the 91s and HSTs go.

[@breeze1472]

So it wont be too long before the class 800`s replace the HST`s on the east coast line then just like GWR?

[@adamhaigh9947]

Think the first route to become full Azuma is KGX to LDS.

[@nothisispatrick6180]

The 90s will be replaced first then HSTs and then 91s

[@adamhaigh9947]

Where are the 91s going?

[@nothisispatrick6180]

@@adamhaigh9947 for scrap or stored

[@adamhaigh9947]

LNWR wants to run trains from EUS to BPN and Alliance Rail wants to run trains from PAD to CDF. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_91

[@maxvandenberg6905]

Do they get repainted at eastliegh works or Japan ?

[@adamhaigh9947]

I think they get painted before they leave the factory at Newton Aycliffe.

[@maxvandenberg6905]

Adam Haigh I thought these where made in Japan not newton ?

[@adamhaigh9947]

oh yeah, Newton Aycliffe is the final assembly location. I think the first few Hitachi units were built in Japan.

[@maxvandenberg6905]

Adam Haigh thanks for the help

[@egcam_883]

Wait, At the Start why was there a GWR Class 153 (155)

[@adamhaigh9947]

Most GWR 153s have been transferred to Northern after cascading of other GWR units in the west.

[@davidjones3758]

The Azuma still looks a bag of crap

[@adamhaigh9947]

They do have better acceleration, greener engines and more capacity than the HSTs and 91s.

[@josephharrison8354]

Is that because it's designed by the Japanese and you want our trains to be British? They were built in Hitachi's UK factory, if that helps.
