TPE Class 802 'Nova 1' - First Class Review (Newcastle to Liverpool)

- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2019
- Hello! Firstly, I must apologise for the month long gap in videos. This was to give me a bit of time to record and edit other videos planned previously. I now have plenty of content produced and even more waiting to be finished. This includes an international video, coming from France (and there's more where that came from).
Anyway, this video features a ride on-board one of the new Nova 1 units for TransPennine Express. These trains are largely similar to the GWR IET and LNER Azuma trains, currently plying their way on long-distance services out of London Paddington and London Kings Cross respectively. The fleet for TPE is formed of 19x Class 802/2 in five car sets.
I decided to try one of these out in First Class, from Newcastle to Liverpool Lime St, and see how they compare, and what subtle differences are offered in the TPE variant, to see what the future of TransPennine Express services will hold.

A lot of effort put into this video. Informative and well put together - nice work 👍
Brand-new Class 397 - the Nova 2 review:
Just came accross your channel. Nice review very detailed and enjoyable!
A very good account both in terms of the train and the journey.
I tend to see a lot of people grabbing the seats with no windows so they can sleep on Virgin's 390's, i guess they are useful to some people. Personally i love a good window and ive heard that the 397's (Nova 2) seating layout makes sure that all windows are lined up with seats, which is a big plus if true.
Impressive editing, I wish I was so good!
Very nice trip report again the interior does look more professional and hopefully the stunning TPE livery has been applied to it now
Perhaps they should look into yellow LEDs for the interior. Still provide lots of light, but much much easier on the eyes.
Great video !!
Interesting to see what they are like, compared to when I did one of the loco hauled trains from Lea Green into Manchester recently. I thought all the seats were the same across the fleets, but it seems they aren't! I wonder if they are waiting until all the new trains are in and then change the catering offer in First Class. I went to Glasgow a few years back with TPE and it was quite different then; much bigger offering, much more frequent drinks service, etc. One thing I have always found with TPE; the staff are brilliant.
Great video. ☺️
Nice. Were the armrests padded or like a grippy rubber deal. Beaut sunrise btw
Awsome trip report :)
1st class seems so Spartan,with narrow and hard seats..what ever happened to comfort and space ?I would desire more for my 1st class ticket fare.
Brilliant review! I travelled between Newcastle and Leeds on one of these units in February and everything you say about First Class is spot on. The seats could be more comfortable in my opinion.
Best thing about these new trains is when the doors open so you can get off. I haven’t done one of these nova things, but the GW ones are pretty much the same.
Nice video and it’s put me off going anywhere near them!!
No, it's a very nice channel. Well done.
Nice review there. Certainly won't be rushing to ride them myself.
Super vid 👍
