Drivers report that it's like gliding out of Paddington because it's so silent, the main cab noise being the cab air con.

    @ianmurray250 6 лет назад +26

    Worth pointing out that if we still had British Rail the line would have been electrified by 1997 and the trains would be doing 140 mph. Privatisation ended the advanced plans for electrification, signalling modifications and new electric trains would would have come into service about 25 years ago. Worth adding that in the last 10 years or so, the UK government has provided over three times the amount of money to UK railways than was given to British Rail in the 1980s (adjusted for inflation).

    • @ianmurray250
      @ianmurray250 6 лет назад +4

      And on the day when Virgin East Coast is re-nationalised, note that the class 91 and Mk4 coaches still used on that line, were designed 30 years ago to run at 140 mph. Replacement will be by slower Hitachi IET trains. Now there's progress.

    I've actually been on a record run in an HST set. way back in the early 80's I believe. I paid for a ticket for my Brother and me to take the record run from Bristol to London and back. we were given a tie. a folder. special ticket in a wallet and the tannoy informed us along the way of our speed. when we got to Paddington we were informed of the time and average speed. on the way back we broke our own record. and I remember everyone cheering in the coach I was in. Out time was something like 68 minutes but coming back we exceeded an average speed of 102mph. i maybe a tiny bit hazy on exact time but I'm pretty sure it was very close to that. So unless they do something about the track and get the trains to really make use of its acceleration and top speed it ain't gonna be much of an improvement over an HST

      @ChangesOneTim 5 лет назад +1

      The Paddington-Ladbroke speed limit is to maximise signal reading time for drivers, especially because they are arranged in rows across the six lines and drivers must 'count across' to make absolutely certain that they are reading the correct signals for their train.
      The 95 limit approaching Reading is determined by signal spacing which leaves inadequate braking distance for higher speed.

    Looks like a timing of just over 21 mins could be achieved with 6%G braking from 125 to 95mph and then 95mph to rest. Unless some time savings could be made between Paddington and Twyford - then somewhere between 9 and 10%G braking would be needed to beat the 20 min 46 sec record. Drivers might needs some practice and a dry rail.

      They go all the way to Camarthen. They run on electricity as far as Didcot Parkway, when they switch to diesel and vice versa when returning to London. If it's stopping at Didcot, they will switch whilst stopped. If passing didcot non-stop, they tend to switch just east of the junction to the Oxford branch. No IETs are currently running to Devon/Cornwall as the 800s currently in service aren't powerful enough to deal with the steep gradients, and the 802s are still being tested and aren't ready to go into service yet

      Ladbroke Grove disaster of 1999, as a HST was travelling near to 125mph on the approach to Paddington when a local train which passed a red light crashed into it, causing one of the biggest accidents on UK railways

  • @70humdinger94
    @70humdinger94 6 лет назад +2

    Too bad it takes three or four minutes before it hits the point where it can do more than plod along at 50 MPH. Oh and a bit of irony. Around the 4:00 mark, you pass by the depot where the Azuma (ECML version of the 800 series) is parked. They're STILL not in revenue service while GWR is slowly adding their 800 series units into public operation.

    • @ianmurray250
      @ianmurray250 6 лет назад

      The track layout and speed limits were designed for the acceleration profile of the HST and, in this video the driver was driving to the timetable. These trains can accelerate faster as you point out. Timetable improvements are planned probably for December 2019 now and future plans will almost certainly include improving the line speed around Old Oak Common (the depot) although there are quite a few points around there.

    I've noticed that routes all over the network are being electrified except for wales

    • @agent_605
      @agent_605 6 лет назад

      Not really, most of the North's electrification plans were cancelled in favour of the GWML, which runs into Wales. Electrification should go at least as far as Cardiff, if not Swansea. The North has basically got a couple lines between Liverpool, Manchester and Preston and the branch to Blackpool, and that's about it.

    This run is about as fast as the old diesel HSTs -- barely time to raid the buffet for a coffee before it was slowing down for Reading. Interesting vido but the music.......ugh! Some detail like the station names and other ladmarks would by useful as well.

    • @allmyothersubscriptions
      @allmyothersubscriptions 6 лет назад +3

      Only on a very fast HST run before the Ladbroke Grove crash speed restrictions (in the 1990's and earlier). Most HST's complete Paddington to Reading in around 25 minutes, a full 5 MINUTES slower due to slower acceleration!!! If the class 800's were able to travel with pre-Ladbroke line speed they would get to Reading in under 20minutes. Wait until ECTS ERTMS signalling is installed and the line speed is increased to 140mph!!!
