- After alighting the train I managed to capture the change over from electric to diesel and then a departure I hope you enjoy this video :)
I am so fascinated by this phenomena! And the 3rd rail to overheads at Farringdon in London
No wonder Bi-mode and Tri-mode trains are the future of the railways in the UK and worldwide.
Tri-modes were a failure unfortunately. I don’t think they’ll ever become widespread
Great video. ☺️
thats cool
It’s so quiet compare to the old HST
Nice! I have some train videos, too.
Great video. What is the make of the Diesel engines?

That pantograph slammed down rather hard. Is that normal?
I'm not an expert on choo-choos or anything but I assume it's designed that way to prevent arcing if it's still under load. As a general rule with any electrical system, and particularly high voltage systems, you want the making and breaking of contact to be as quick as possible. Either on or off but never on-ish. The same reason most switches are spring-loaded.
@@xxxggthyf yeah exactly that, same reason light switches make a loud click, arching electricity is dangerous and can cause heavy damage to equipment
Aggressive pantograph lowering...
The reason is because you don't want the electric current to arc, you want it to be either on or off not somewhere between otherwise it could damage equipment.
Why tf were destination boards off?
Let me check my crystal ball
Why converted from electric to diesel? Huh!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Usually because the route it travels on isn't electrified the whole way.
The line that this would travel on would be the Liverpool-Newcastle so the first part would be electrified to Victoria then it does a stint from Victoria to York on diesel power then go back onto the OHLE to Newcastle from York and vice versa on the return.
because the rest of the route wouldn't be electrified the whole way
