Love Azuma

[@rajk2677]

Trains speeding through the country side is simply mind blowing. Love the train videos so much 😍

[@regulate.artificer_g23.mdctlsk]

I love the 9 car sets

[@profmargins]

Nice Video

[@AndrewG1989]

I like the LNER Class 800 and Class 801 Azumas. Wonderful trains.

[@CC-Cobalt-1043]

Agreed, they've got flaws of course but they also have a lot of potential

[@MPDTransport]

Nice video

[@LinesideSouthEast]

Thanks

[@przemekmoskal-km6gp]

We love it

[@polkol7529]

Beautiful video 👍

[@LinesideSouthEast]

Many thanks

At 1:52 if anyone is wondering why the train used its horn, it’s because there is a ‘W’ sign, a whistle or horn sign which is their for train drivers to know when to sound the horn

[@LinesideSouthEast]

There are still a lot of foot/horse and user worked crossings on the ECML, even on the four track sections.

[@eggtrains4981]

Mhm, but still I think I saw a 'W' Sign

[@smudgycat6750]

The W sign is used when there is either an unguarded or hidden crossing, to alert people that a train is coming

[@owenleung2003]

I'm wondering where is 00:27? It looks like a nice spot.

[@LinesideSouthEast]

Brookmans Park, you can see the station in the background. Nice spot slightly spoilt by the new recently erected lineside fencing.

Dear Friend:
I am a fervent admirer of the railways and next year I will visit England for 12 days, the cities of London, York, Liverpool and Manchester. I am interested in knowing some station around London to observe the trains at speed. Which would you recommend for filming train passes at good speed? Many thanks and warm regards from Argentina, Fausto.-

[@LinesideSouthEast]

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying as the message went into the spam folder! Depends what you after. South Kenton and Carpenders Park are good. Clapham Junction, Willesden Junction and Stratford are busy but stations but speeds are lower.

[@superspidey901.]

Does it go the same speed as the intercity 125

[@LinesideSouthEast]

Yes, although the Azumas have better acceleration that the Intercity 125s so journey times should be shorter.

[@simplyplanes1289]

1:52 where is that at I wanna go spotting there

[@LinesideSouthEast]

Langford which is between Biggleswade and Arlesey. Some new lineside fencing has recently been erected there so looks a little different now.

Nice video but horrible trains.

[@wisehat_yt]

@土山彰英 i think your reply is hopeless

[@poshlad6275]

how? like saying the pacer is amazing.

[@EM-yk1dw]

@@poshlad6275 Was amazing you mean. They saved a lot of lines closing in the 80s and were all cash strapped BR could afford. The IETs are not suited for long distance journeys, if the seats were more comfortable they would be OK.

[@EM-yk1dw]

@@wisehat_yt LOL

[@poshlad6275]

@@EM-yk1dw seats are amazing what are u talking about and the iet can go from Edinburgh-London which is long?
