Video for Midland Mainline Staff on the introduction of the Class 222 sets
This livery is the best there ever was for the 222. I remember my jaw dropping when these started rolling into Bedford. You had free tea and coffee when boarding too. Miss the old MML.
Still look modern to me
Don't forget a free paper too!
@@TheGodfatherUk bring them back! 👍🏼
@@gapa1982 I remember when I was a 16/17 and worked at NEXT at mradoehall I'd finish at just after 8 and run like crazy to get to the platform in time for the turbostar midland Mainline or meridian to Barnsley. Alwsys got my free brew and paper lol. Memories.
Is it just me or does the Meridian look better than the Voyager/SV? The lights are less bulbous and look better somehow.
It's the best of the bombardier intercity stock although be intresting to see how the ones commisioned for HS2 turn out,
The Class 222 is part of the Bombardier Voyager family. Meridian is just a branding name by the TOC, it is still a Voyager!
The only difference is that unlike the other voyagers, the 222 has a revised cab shape, apparently because Virgin patented the design iirc but who knows.
Personally I like both of them but I prefer the voyagers cab. The 222 has had superior liveries in its time though.
@@BritishTrainspottingI miss the old East Midlands trains livery so much lol
Under the skin they are the same. One main difference is that, unlike Virgin Trains, the MML TOC didn't specify any of their fleet to tilt. This freed up underfloor space for the bog tanks, which on Voyagers had to go at floor level because of their tilting equipment and explains why Meridians don't suffer that rancid sewage farm smell whenever the tanks are more than about half full and outside temperature is over about 10C.... Yuk!
Such amazing trains I went on them recently amazing service 🙌 ❤️
8:58 that explains what that sound is I’ve heard it loads on Pendolinos and the related Voyager units
It could also be the driver to guard communication call.
@@EastMidlandsTrainspotting will be that as well but ive heard both sounds loads of times.
If you hear it on the move, it’s likely AWS… has a very similar noise.
@@gapa1982 it won’t be AWS as it’s a different sound plus been nowhere near the driving cab when I’ve heard it.
This video is incredibly 2000s
Thank you . Just what I needed
Great video.☺️ I just subscribed to ur RUclips channel.
Narrated by Ted May who was also an announcer with Central ITV
Was this the same guy who narrated the “you’ll be going nowhere video”
@@montyburnsgaming3609 Nope - that is Paul Tyreman
Chris Wells is driving the thing. Hello Chris 👋
Repeat that sorry, LOW NOISE!!! what its so loud
Drivers get by far the quietest ride on all class 22X trains. Such a shame that their excellent acceleration had to come with such poor sound insulation and engine mountings. All sets have had some form of mid-life refurb, but it seems the budget never stretched to sorting out these issues. The 800 series bi-modes are awful trains for other reasons, but at least when on diesel the saloons are fairly quiet and free of rattles/squeaks.
bruh don't dump on the 80X like that! the diesel mode sounds aren't the only good thing! and new trains are often way too overhated

Each to his own, but I'm in the majority who dislike the 800/802's hard seats, harsh lighting and rough ride at 110-125mph. They might be okay as outer-suburban units, but for long-distance InterCity journeys they certainly are not.
This is so cool to watch.
I'll have to remember the foot stitches if they are still active,
Wow my favourite train
Same
Does anyone know what the music is that is used in this video? Or atleast a longer source audio without overlapping audio (talking). Ideally a high-quality source if possible.
Yeah I know it’s so good.
The song is epic which I knew what it is?
Wish*
@@ClassOneThousandyou can just edit your message instead of flooding my notifications.
CARL MAKINS FROM NOTTS CUSTOMER HOST YAY
Very interesting!
Well that’s going now being replaced by EMR
What is this song? Imma vibing to it. 0:00
What happened to the sound?
The video was probably taken from a VHS tape and I suspect the audio has distorted overtime
Give me an HST everytime than these submarines!
Agreed. Built with the passenger in mind.
get used to it bruh!
