Thanks that’s been corrected

They certainly are!

When SWR had plans to run them on mainline duties alongside the 444s and 450s so they could run 12 coach lengths - in theory at least!

Two reasons, to run in 12 car. And also to make them lighter so that they hit 100mph easier

The original gear to motor ratio mind you

@@bb-3653 ?

They are (at the moment) operating on London - Weybridge via Hounslow diagrams, but that could change in the future

True. Would be nice to see them on the Alton line.

Thank you! We will return again!

Thank you. Our next video has dropped! No trains this weekend, it’s aviation as we head to Myrtle Avenue! Check it out on our channel! Are you subscribed?

That was a 222

@@huyiii2435 obviously, it was a reference to the 22x class of trains which was also on the same basis of the 221/1

😂😂 nice!

Sure 👍🏼

Thank you! Great to have you join us!

They appear further north on the east coast mainline with XC.

@@IntercityXtravellersyeah

Former Avanti units as they are now permanently operating for cross country

@@Scottish_Transport_Exploreryes and I’ve saw it twice

I’m honestly not sure. I’ll have a look at times and compare for you. Standby!

Taking a look at 1A50 12.48 Holyhead - Euston last Friday compared to times from This Friday, it appears there’s no change in travel time. That might be down to reduced dwell times at stations en route though.

Thank you!

@@IntercityXtravellers You're welcome

Thank you

Yeah! Hopefully something to be resolved. Thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼

Here’s the response to Your question: 1. We have personal lives at IXT, be it myself or any other person. You don’t know our schedule or plans. We have limits. We also work. So sometimes we can’t always go as far as we’d like 2. How do you know that we won’t be returning to travel beyond Crewe at a later? (This is indeed planned) 3. We want to keep the videos under 20 minutes. 4. Whilst a ticket to Chester isn’t an issue, we decide where we go and when. We will indeed be venturing further afield to Holyhead, but it won’t be in this video. Thanks for watching

As long as you get the gist. Thanks for watching.

PS, Hope It didn’t take away too much from the video 🙂. Again, thank you for viewing!

@@IntercityXtravellers Of course not, still watched it all 👏🏻👏🏻

@@CommandoG331 thank you! Your feedback is also appreciated! Thank you! Something to keep an eye on! Take care!

Thank you for watching! Time will tell what the 810s are like! Have you seen our recent video of the 805s of Avanti in service? I cannot remember the name of that track off of the top of my head. I’ll have to have a look!

@@IntercityXtravellers Yes, I’m not gonna lie the Avanti livery looks stunning on the IETs they look really nice, shame they go so far out London, I’d be able to ride one then

@@ZackMurray12 what’s your closest station? I’m sure there are a few diagrams with 805s calling at Milton Keynes if that helps?

@@IntercityXtravellers Thanks that does help! Milton Keynes isn’t too far if I were to ride one, thank you!

Properly specified unlike most the 80x fleet plus they will know from past design flaws where improvements where required

They are built to a different standard. However GWR IETs have seemed to have gone through some modifications as their IETs are seemingly much more sturdy and smoother to travel on! Thank you so much for joining us! We hope to see you again!

@@IntercityXtravellers Remember, many were specified to be EMUs. Then the OHLE upgrades got cancelled and had to hastily have diesel generators installed. This led to all sorts of problems in the beginning of service.

When I got to Crewe, I was hoping for a 221 back! Hope you get an 805 soon! Thank you for watching!

Cannot answer for the Avanti announcements as none of us here at IXT can speak Welsh, well not without butchering it! 😅🤣. But no, seriously, if it’s anything like the Avanti Voyagers, it should be okay! Thank you for watching. Hopefully you heard the announcements at the beginning and can confirm how good the Welsh is! 🙂👍🏼

@@IntercityXtravellersFrom what I could hear, they sounded OK. I did suck my teeth at 1:56 at “i’r gwasanaeth yma” but I did check the Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru and it says that “yma” is OK for “this” when it follows a noun that’s preceded by the definite article (“‘r”), though I might’ve preferred to miss out the article and say “i gwasanaeth hon”.

@@arwelp ruclips.net/video/GHiokfOQS6k/видео.html these are the welsh ones

What did they say before?

@@Ro99they would just say for example “welcome aboard this avanti west coast service to London Euston calling at Birmingham International, Coventry, Rugby, Milton Keynes Central, Watford Junction…” then just cut off

@@court692able oh fair enough that is more helpful

@@court692able they didnt on the voyagers

They aren’t too bad at all, but this varies per person. I’d say try them out and see how you personally feel! All the best, and thanks for watching!

Unlikely for Avanti, but not Impossible for proposed new TOCs. Thanks for viewing!

You can take a short run with loco hauled stock between Crewe and Manchester with the TfW loco hauled trains. Those are basically IC225 coaches just hauled by a class 67 diesel.

They are replacing voyagers on all lines. I would say gradually, but there were a lot out and about yesterday. If you see the link about the “Evero” information, it will show you the routes they will appear on 🙂. Thanks for watching!

@@IntercityXtravellers ok

Fast likes throughout. Running at 110 throughout the Majority of the journey I believe

Standard Class is covered from 10:39 onwards. We were also “Plebs” on part of the journey, and the entire return journey. If you haven’t already seen it, please do have a look! Thank you for joining us!

Not sure if you mean the train or video 😅, nonetheless, thank you for watching!

@@IntercityXtravellers video and train! Overall! All together. Awesome Vid 😃

No the pendolinos are staying on Avanti west coast they won’t retire any time soon the 805s and 807s are only replacing the 221 voyagers

The 805s r replacing voyagers on Avanti fleet

@@shihanthetrainspotter Wait.....so these are the replacements for the uncomfortable, noisy and ridiculously small 4-car long distance CrossCountry diesels? Hallelujah!!!

​@@AFCManUk the 805s are replacing the Avanti 221s. Unfortunately the CrossCountry Voyagers are still here to stay for now

@@gabrielstravels Ohhh,,,,,Of course. Avanti aren't the Operator of the Crosscountry trains. D'oh!!!

Agreed about GWR IETs. Its like having a strip of wood within the cushions.

Personally, the firmness didn’t really affect me, and I didn’t get up with a sore bottom. But ive also personally never had this issue with the previous 80X. I think the rest of the IXT team would agree here. It depends on how others feel! Go for a ride and see what you think! The team and I would all be happy to hear your feedback! Thanks for watching and hope to have you join us again!

Honestly how hard is it to design a soft comfy train seat. The intercity 125 and 225 had perfect seats. Why is there this whole trend of firmer seats. They are just super uncomfy!!!

I returned home on a 10 Car Evero. There were at least two 10 car sets out! Thanks for Joining us!

Depending on the route yeah, North Wales coastal is fine with 5 cars. But between the big cities of London, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham definitely need double 805s alongside the 7 car class 807s and the class 390s.
