Avanti trains are quite nicely cleaned. Compared to off white Thameslink dirt we get on the MML. Even EMR is dirty.
@Tornado9222 жыл бұрын
I think that's more down to the nature of the route than anything else, the problem with the Thameslink 700s is that a lot of the dirt is accumulated from the 'shoe' that collects power from the third rail. So all of the dirt is being kicked off that and than run along the length of the car where the shoe is.

Welcome to 2022 Tornado922. Hope you are keeping safe and well? What to day, well Stafford is full of the unexpected as you have demonstrated to show very well. An truly epic way to start the year to get things on track. Those 730's looks...epic is one of many words to describe it. These units will be replacing the class 323's which will eventually end up working with Northern. A similar class to the 730's which London North Western Railway has also bought will be replacing the 350/2 units.

Hello Tornado! Thank you for your super vidoes and your unstinting efforts to bring the best to us watching on KZbin. No fun too standing on Stafford Station this time of the year!! Remember it well from days trainspotting there in the 1960s. and the time the 'City of Lichfield' came in pouting steam and smoke, Alas, all gone now along with shed visits to Springs Branch, Ditton Jct., Patricroft, Edge Hill , Bankhall and Aintree.. On a positive note, your generation of train spotters' will have a more healthy environment to enjoy your pastime in. Stay safe! Big Dave.

Even though there is still some good variety on the railways this day and age I would have very much loved to have been spotting around this area throughout the 90s as there was just so much loco hauled traffic coming through the station.

Excellent video Its interesting to think that the 350/4 despite its somewhat "classic" Desiro appearance is a serious performer on the North WCML Having travelled a fair bit on the /1 and /2, they really aren't looked after by LNWR Voyagers showing again that its excellent braking and acceleration means that despite how much people may moan about them - there's not much to touch their flexibility
@Tornado9222 жыл бұрын
I do find it slightly surprising that LNWR aren't really giving the 350/4s much care. Especially as they have a facility based at Northampton for the sole purpose of cleaning and maintaining the fleet. I will never understand why the voyagers get such a hard time from enthusiasts all over the country. Every time I have travelled on one I have never had any complaints what so ever, one of the many great things about them is that every seat has a charging point for phones on them (on the avanti west coast ones atleast) and I have always found them to be very comfortable for long journeys. I've done Birmingham to Exeter and Milton Keynes to Chester.
