Ha, love how up & down the country you get lots of different trains in lots of different liveries. Hit Kent & HS1, same old rubbish, back & forth all day.
btw the 350 (green) was only a 100mph unit whereas the 390 (red) is a 140mph capable unit limited to 125mph line speed. since this video (in 2012) the 350/1 subclass was modified to 110mph and the subsequently built 350/3 and 350/4 subclasses were built as 110mph from new. the 350/2s remain 100mph
if you use earphones and have your volume about half way the voyagers , Great Eastern trains , MTU hst's s and Eurostars sound nice I use earphones all the time while watching train video's
1:05 is an awesome clip! That horn was perfectly timed with the announcement and it sounded nice too; the high tone was reminiscent of a steam loco whistle, lol!
nice horns and nice lights on east midlands at 09:40 and nice javelins I sore those today at Wednesday 2nd May 2012 and Eurostars too and super fast trains too!
Some excellent camerawork there - congratulations! I particularly enjoyed the shots taken during the snowy weather. Excellent panning too - it makes a real difference to see the train approach and then disappear into the distance. I was particularly struck with the HS1 shots - to quote an often used (and mis-used) term - they were awesome! Thanks for an enjoyable 12 minutes or so. Rob.
Pretendolino is what spotters call the mk3 and DVT set, painted in the new Virgin livery (the colour of pendolinos) so we call it the pretendolino, because it acts in the place of pendolino's! :) haha
Great selection:) i like the class 90s with mk3s - i see them regulary on great eastern ml at ingatestone or shenfield and class 90s with containers for ipswich
The Caledonian sleeper is never a set number of coaches. Whoever told you its always 16 is wrong. The amount of coaches depends on the amount of demand for the service at the time. The maximum number of MK3 sleeper coaches being 18. This doesn't include the MK2f's which are randomly added and removed dureing the service. Its entirely possible for the train, dureing a very busy night, to be 24 coaches long at some stages of the trip. Oh and that eurostar coaches are shorter than BR MK2f's
kinda, GWR was the original name before British Rail. The current trend is the re-use of the original names like SWR, LNWR, LNER etc whereas when this video was filmed it was all about the corporate names e.g. First
that caledonar sleeper train was so long there was about 16 cars and 1 locomotive but why was there a red light at the front and no lights at the back.Oh! and that train passed a train on the other side going his way!
I once saw a MMT up here in Chester-le-street near Newcastle on the east coast Mainline it was quite confusing and has anyone else seen the 007 east coast train??
Do you see many deutch bahn diesel trains about in the uk. I swear i saw one in westbury station a few months back. I have seen a few of them in munich station when i was there used for shutting or goods trains.
I wonder how much more energy is required to propel the flat-fronted trains at speed? Or does the sheer weight/inertia overcome the issue of aerodynamics?
and the Voyagers were made "In Bruges", literally, but to be fair that was because their manufacturer Bombardier's Derby factory was to capacity at the time with Turbostar and Electrostar production
1:11, wow, amazing 2 tone
When you see a freight train going that fast you know that technology here is much more advanced than anywhere you’ve ever see before.
Hey jay town I watch you,
Nope their just powered by diesel
This my favourite vid of them all so far. Because I like trains and I like snow and here I get both! I am a happy girl!!
Ha, love how up & down the country you get lots of different trains in lots of different liveries. Hit Kent & HS1, same old rubbish, back & forth all day.
Who is here a decade later?
I've watched them all and I'm reliving memories
@@theblobmaster332 me too, I could watch this all day ahaha
me in 2024 getting very nostalgic right now
Fantastic to see the trains at speed
1:12 I just love that Horn!!!
Me to
My toddler loves your videos. Thankyou for providing me with peace and quiet whilst he watches, transfixed!
This makes me want to go to my nearest train station and just observe.
Cool compilation of fast freight and passenger trains. Thumbs up! :)
Greetings

Well done mate, this vid really kept me watching right to the very end. Absolutely love the HS1 clips, very cool indeed !!!
I liked the part at 0:49 because both of those high speed trains were overtaking. LOL.

mmmmmm a 350 and a 390 racing :-D
btw the 350 (green) was only a 100mph unit whereas the 390 (red) is a 140mph capable unit limited to 125mph line speed. since this video (in 2012) the 350/1 subclass was modified to 110mph and the subsequently built 350/3 and 350/4 subclasses were built as 110mph from new. the 350/2s remain 100mph
Loved that Midlands train at about 2 minutes - so much snow! It ripped it up like sand!
That snow just goes everywhere!!!
4:15 you scared shitless haha I like this vid...
4:15
if you use earphones and have your volume about half way the voyagers , Great Eastern trains , MTU hst's s and Eurostars sound nice I use earphones all the time while watching train video's
Looks like the train horn at 4:13 made you jump a bit
1:05 is an awesome clip! That horn was perfectly timed with the announcement and it sounded nice too; the high tone was reminiscent of a steam loco whistle, lol!

Love the whooshing noises these trains make :)
This train is so absolutely beautiful!! 😀

i love those 390s and the 350s
10:57 most beautiful train in the world

Very swift ! , In india there are only a few trains that run on 70-90miles an hour. Each train is atleast a kilometre long :D
wow! At 1 minute 10 seconds at predendlino made a very loud noise but at 2 minutes 50 seconds a pendolino horn sounded and bit loud!
i liked the part of 4:12 who says ''platform 3 does not stop here. pleasestand well clear from the edge of platform ''TRAIN HORN''
The good old days of snow the UK has nothing now
Love the Pendolino leaning at 01:27
I love the pretendolinos horn
I love fast trains they are amazing
It's nice to see even in these modern times that the DVTs and HSTs are still running... Maybe we just can't afford new rolling stock
thanks for the greate shots there you should come here to Ireland and see the trains here
Very nice...
Great selection:) i like the class 90s with mk3s - i see them regulary on great eastern ml at ingatestone or shenfield and class 90s with containers for ipswich

The Pretendlino's horn is awesome!
Is that at 1:10
1:10 my favorite moment
5:27 Train_PlaneHub predicted the future (GWR is actually Great Western Railway)
kinda, GWR was the original name before British Rail. The current trend is the re-use of the original names like SWR, LNWR, LNER etc whereas when this video was filmed it was all about the corporate names e.g. First
First one is at Milton Keynes and so is the first pretendolino
1:05 Prendilio Screams LOL LOL
Nirailways Belfast to Dublin it is spelt Pretendolino
"spelt"
Taking some shots from Slough!...I live like 200 meters from where you were filming lol
On the GWR route I think the best place to spot is didcot because you get steam trains and hardly anything stops there
3:38 OMG THERE IS A EAST MIDLANDS ON THE LOOSE
thanks for the great train videos.
those trains sure go fast past the stations.and you could get blown of your feet if you are not careful.
john fontana that is why you have to stand behind the yellow line. There is a real danger of being sucked off the platform.
2:22 Don’t ask me how that train manages to go from London - Scotland within 11 hours at that speed.
I believe because it hits very slow areas on the northern end
Excellent video.....thank you!
hehe careful you don't stand too close dude :) nice vid
Like the snow vids. Thanks
0:30 That pendelino has a beard!
HASHT#G Its Santa XD
i did sa the train of Virgin near too ikea when i go far and i did saw one angila trains too and a train on 9:12 too!
I LIKE TRAINS
Enjoyed the snow clips
some great shots of Pendos in the snow. I wonder what they'll look like in First livery.
0:32
Does that pendolino have a snow-shield or something?
nice, prefer the lighter liveried rakes, especially the white coloured rakes!!
1:11 This great service train horn, train horn is train is so fast
Because Train to the London
that caledonar sleeper train was so long there was about 16 cars and 1 locomotive but why was there a red light at the front and no lights at the back.Oh! and that train passed a train on the other side going his way!
I see, thnx.
That DVt horn at 1:10
Thunder Storm! That train was fast on 09:53
9:53
Brilliant vid!
I wanna do the Caledonian sleeper xx
I once saw a MMT up here in Chester-le-street near Newcastle on the east coast Mainline it was quite confusing and has anyone else seen the 007 east coast train??
Why is there an MML High Speed Train on the ECML section?
It was on hire at the time :)
thomsonfly645k Expliqué a
Love the horn at 2:50
They were racing at the beginning of the video well probably passed only just passed the beginning
70m/h=112km/h very fast and advanced.
awsome
6:26 I love this bit.
The tenth virgin train on the west coast mainline the ten car one
Greet stuff, I’ve just started my own channel having been inspired by yours and others content ❤
Very fast and speeding trains
Do you see many deutch bahn diesel trains about in the uk. I swear i saw one in westbury station a few months back. I have seen a few of them in munich station when i was there used for shutting or goods trains.

Hey nice train Bro!
woooo hooooooo... too fast for me.... I feel dizzzy
In germany we call this "bummelzug"
Caledonian sleeper is not long enough but eurostar and tgv is the longest! Are you sure that is long?
Haven't been on euro star because I get nervous go in tunnel because I don't know how long in tunnel to get to Europe
Yes I don't now where my bloody jobs going I will try and get one with cross country
i loved that :)
rangelso It is at Wolverton
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cheer uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
@Ozzy788 the caledonian sleeper is longest passenger train Europe.
Eurostar 373:ahem
Really enjoyed this :)
At 2:35 what is the Southern class 377 doing on Platform 5 instead of platform 2? Was a London Midland train already on platform 2?
What´s the top speed of Virgin Pendolino? (km´s)
Thnx for a great video :D
Cheers
I've tested it before and it can go at speeds of up to 170Mph
Exciting!
well done love it
Excellent!
@chell308 it's an electrostar
Awesome!
nice vid but it would be nice if you told us the name of the location on the screen
I just noticed that the hs1 only has 2 trains- the Eurostar and the hatarchi
Hitachi Class 395 "Javelin"
I know
sometimes you can see class 92's on HS1
here r some examples of some fast trains From Britain:
HST 125
Virgin Voyager
Virgin Pendolino
Hitachi
and the Eurostar
Pendennis Castle the Hitachi trains aren't British, they were made in other countries but were sent over to Britain
and the Voyagers were made "In Bruges", literally, but to be fair that was because their manufacturer Bombardier's Derby factory was to capacity at the time with Turbostar and Electrostar production
amazing video man! :)
@trainmad77 The pretendolino. Its Virgin btw not Vurgin ;)
Fantastic video¡¡¡
