Interestingly like the old Western region of BR, these trains are diesel-hydraulic whereas everyone else used diesel-electric propulsion for high speed (over 100 Mph) DMU's (like the Voyagers/Meridians), so it's history repeating itself.

And when Paul is showing of the passenger alarm you half expect him to reply to the driver saying there is fire coming from underneath the train, given their habit of catching fire!

Think the Adelantes are better for medium distance jobs, like along the Cotswold line from Paddington. I've done Sunderland to King's Cross on them once or twice and the ride, seating and engine vibrations aren't the most pleasant experience for the 266 mile journey IMO.
@@manomaylr never had the chance to try the service since Grand Central provides much more frequency and is generally the cheapest and most convenient option other than changing in Leeds, have tried the Azuma though and I’ve got to say the Adelante’s are more pleasant to travel on down to the better padded, less upright seating and the lack of the harsh lighting on newer sets.

Yes there were problems that led to the hydrodynamic brake being taken OOU. I cannot recall now why it it never came back into use, but it made the engines sound like a road coach going down Porlock Hill in 2nd gear. The 175s had that feature as well.
All that promise, and they turned out to be some of the worst intercity trains the UK has ever had. Meanwhile, 40 year old HSTs are still going strong.

And who would’ve thought FGW would withdraw these before the HSTs
Luke Owen you might be thinking of Hull Trains. FGW withdrew these TWICE.
They withdrew them because they were going nowhere 🤣

the 180's are shit
We still got old 170 turbostar the ageing class 158 and even older 156 that sounds like rattling a jar of nails.

there just past it now.
