Best trains left on the UK network. Still a pleasure to travel in, and still looking great in their (almost) original livery style too! I remember seeing them as a small kid when they were new and they seemed genuinely exciting and cool. Had many trips on them between Leeds and Peterborough with my dad from 1993 to 2002 (Intercity and then GNER days) and then solo trips from that point.... always was (still is) a pleasure and a sense of occasion to have a 91/mk4 set come roaring into the station to soothe you on to your destination. I will miss them when they are finally gone, not least because the IETs are objectively inferior in so many ways, at least from the passenger's perspective. This footage is top quality and will be historic and unrepeatable in the not too distant future.
When I was travelling from Leeds to st Neots on Sunday it was a 225 but was cancelled due to a brake faliure but your staff were immensely helpful and brightened up my day. Please give them a big thank you it was the 17;16 to. St Neots
Absolutely loved these trains, my dad drove them out of Newcastle in the intercity days and loved meeting him at the end of his shift. The noise of them pulling away is something else
Absolutely brilliant day. Whenever I’m in the UK, I always head up to Leeds from KGX and then connect to Ilkley, to visit with a very dear friend of mine and his wife who live nearby. As an aside, I’ve regularly used LNER for some time and never had a negative experience with them to date.
For those who may not know the bleeping sound is the vigilance where it goes off randomly inside 90 seconds of no controls used, the driver pushes his Dead man's pedal or DSD pedal this is to ensure the driver is still awake/alive. Green signals go 'ping' no action required, any speed restriction permanent or temporary & Yellow or Red signals it's a ding or Bleeerrrp this must be cancelled with press on the AWS cancel button modern trains are yellow type but original BR locos had a metal doom like device with a silver button on top that has to be pressed to cancel the Bleerrp/Ding noise with AWS there is a visual 'Sunflower' dial green signals it goes all black any adverse AWS Bleeerps/Bings it goes Yellow and Black like a sunflower and has to be cancelled. Hope that helps in easy terms?
The Driver lifts their foot off the DSD, then replaces it, this is to ensure that if the Driver collapsed onto the DSD and didn't lift it again the Emergency Brakes would engage.
Brilliant, very much enjoy watching cab rides to unwind, it’s fantastic that LNER allow these cab rides. Hopefully other TOC will follow suit. If anyone from Avanti is reading give your gaffers a nudge would much love Pendo cab ride. Shout out to Don Coffey who’s a trailblazer for these cab rides. Well done LNER and to all involved.
I absolutely loved this trip and the presentation. Well done to the person whose idea it was to have an information 'box' rather than an irritating scroll of seemingly endless points of interest at the bottom of the screen! Loved the weather symbol, too. It’s a few years since I travelled by train in the UK and this was perfect.
Wow, Grantham, me, and my family were born in Grantham. i grew up there until the age of 11 , and in 1997, we moved to pembrokeshire in South Wales. It brings back a lot of memories seeing Grantham 😊 thank you for sharing
I went to UK in June 1990 & had a 2 week 1st class Britrail pass. There was even a train going to Tilbury Dockside where I got on the original Royal Princess (christened by Diana) cruise ship to sail to Leningrad (St Petersburg). The Britrail printed timetable was more than 500 pages. I'm a "train-a-holic" & have traveled over 250,000 km by rail since 1955 mostly on "The Canadian" (51x) but also Australia (1 month rail pass May 1987). Cheers from Vancouver. BTW Peterborough, South Australia has triple-gauge track (4 rails), Narrow, standard & wide).
Wow, just arrived at London King's Cross! We have a great debt to the Victorians who built our fantastic railways. I've really enjoyed this, thank you. It looks awesome on my 77" screen! Look forward to seeing more.
Very well done. I liked the graphics showing speeds and locations. Very informative! I've only seen videos of Kings Cross from the platform, so it was great to have the view of the approach through the tunnel.
I remarked to someone recently whilst we were watching old film of a steam-hauled heavy goods on the West Coast Main Line in the mid-1950s, "I wonder what a young fireman would have said if, having just slogged over Shap with a heavy freight, you told him that within 30 years, he could be in charge of a class 1 passenger travelling at 90mph at the foot and still be doing 85 or more over the top?"
never ceases to amaze me. The power of the railway companies to drive dead straight lines across the countryside, whilst roads wind around every little whipstitch love the videos BTW
the Intercity 225 is my favourite train of all time! Back in 2018 when it was Virgin Trains East Coast, I was invited on an experience day in the cab of a Class 91 Loco. I travelled from London to Peterborough in the cab of loco 91108 and then I was given free first class tickets up to York and back!!!! It was an incredible day for me and something I will never forget. I was driven to Peterborough by the Driver Manager of VTEC who told me lots of facts and made my dream come true of travelling up front of a 225 set, its an experience I would love to do again and again if I could. Please tell the Driver manager I said hi 😄 also please don't replace the 225's 😅
A little bit of trivia, when they first ran 225s from Kings Cross to Harrogate (Leeds to Harrogate being diesel assisted as no overhead catenary) the train needed a repaint as the loading gauge was wider than the normal Leyland/Sprinters at the time.
I think you mean that the diesel locos used to haul the IC225s had a repaint to match the the INTERCITY livery of the new trains. Unrelated to the 'loading gauge', as the Harrogate line had previously been cleared for IC125 (HST) diesel sets which are within the same C3 dimensions.
Excellent video, thanks for posting LNER. Growing up in North London I spent many hours at Kgs X, Finsbury Park and New Barnet in steam days. On more recent visits from down under I’ve watched from St Neots and the Tallington footbridge - the latter when the 225s were fairly new. Great to see a TOC putting up driver’s eye views and I look forward to more. Cheers from NZ, Marty
From Australia, I travelled on one of these from Leeds to Peterburough last year. Most enjoyable. Thank you LNER. (Maximum speed in my Oz state is only 160kmh but not everywhere).
Fantastic - INTERCITY 225s! Well done LNER. You keep them absolutely immaculate. I travel on them often; very comfortable trains and long may they continue.
What a truly fantastic video. Looking forward to seeing more. And those onboard announcements and awesome. What a relaxing voice. Maybe a silly question but are drivers allowed to wear sunglasses look's very bright. Once again thanks to our driver and LNER for taking us along. Brilliant
We've just left Doncaster. Thoroughly enjoying the ride! Your info on screen is first class. It was good to see that young lad at Doncaster taking photos and no doubt video, too. Good to see the interest in railways is still there. Thanks for sharing your day.
Wonderful video. I especially like the on-screen info, location and speed. More like this please! (A far smoother ride than my poor son had yesterday evening on the reverse route. His train from Kings X was cancelled, everyone had to get a later train which only went as far as Doncaster, then a bus from there meaning he missed his last bus in Leeds, ended up getting home at nearly 2am, and he's working today!)
Excellent video. The Harrogate to Leeds run was uploaded a few years ago. That’s worth a watch, particularly for catching a good view of the entrance into the Bramhope tunnel.
Living in Lincolnshire, I've used LNER services a heck of a lot during the past thirteen years. Makes a change to observe the journey from a different angle 😊
This is a route I'm pretty familiar with. Before the pandemic, I would travel from Leeds to London at least once a year as a tourist, and it's nice to see it from the driver's point of view.
Ardsley tunnel. We used to go in that as kids way back in the day and known to us as the death tunnel. They used to be an old suspension type walkway bridge known as the shakey bridge a bit further down at the bottom of or where the scrap yards are at Middleton roughly speaking. All part of our playing out days lol
20 years ago I lived in Wetherby and was a regular London commuter. I could depart Leeds or York and usually chose the latter as the 1st Class catering was better, especially on the 17.00 return. 18.45 into York was just enough time for 3 course and coffee #goodolddays
Thank you for this video. Nice cab ride In a beautiful day. More sunny at the begining and at this end. And thank you for all.infos given in this ride, very interesting.
LNER you are the hotspot for train enthusiasts. I used to have Boring 787 full flights as sleep sound but eventually I will listen to these beautiful Class 80x sounds!
This is the best British trainvideo from 2024. Point of "interest": when the voice says we are arriving in London; the station on the screen says Stevenage. That is not they annoucement in the station, but when the train had still some speed.
I started my driving career in 1970 at Kings Cross in those days lots of signal boxes and semaphore signals how it’s changed. Wish I could see the line from the cab again as now retired. (Transferred away in 1974 not been back to the Cross since) 2:11:20
Yes indeed, no shed, no goods depot the train shed just hemmed in by mega expensive high rise building now. Mind you today it's a lot cleaner than in my younger days during the steam/diesel transition.
Gutted I couldn’t get on 225s far rather them and 125 over the Azuma anyday. Went on the azuma twice in 1 day was gutted but should be thankful trains were running even when train strikes were going on. Hope I can ride 225 soon love the ride & comfort🥰
@9:31 Robin Hood Bridge. Just to the left is Outwood Grange (School as was, now Academy). Where me and a few mates with Ian Allan books used to congregate at break time and lunch. Waiting for those sexy HSTs to whoosh through! The trees were a bit more sparse then. Yes I know that's of interest to nobody, but its where my train history started 🤓
Ahoj! UK signals are simple: Green - go Double Amber - next signal is amber Amber - next signal is red Red - Stop ..... Flashing amber(s) mean: speed restriction ahead (usually on junction) .... "White lines above" - how many "turns" on next junction(s) ahead (left or right) For left: / - one turn - - two \ - three .... And analogue for right These is more signs/signals but these are most important
@@stanley3647 @stanley3647 Thanks, very useful! I know the basic signals, but the "specials" are triangle junctions in the UK. We don't have many of those here... Also the Czech signalling system is very different, basically the main signals are split into 2 sections, the top shows what to expect at the next signal and the bottom shows what to do at this signal. We also have automatic blocks, they are between stations and the default aspect is Clear, inserted signals, repeater signals etc. There are many signals and combinations, but it has logic :D Thanks
@@Maty06686 Absolute block signalling/control is used in UK. Mean: only one train per section (block) of railway allowed. Sometimes blocks are short, sometimes long... In some arest drivers using tokens (electronic or manual keys)... It is a mix old and new world ;) But this is bit complicated in stations - sometimes on one platform 2 trains are booked. One train on section A, second on B, sometimes 2 short trains joins toghether (like in Machynlleth) and continue as one longer train. In this situation automatics not allow to show any other signal than red, so manually controller in signal box can display little 2 white lights under main semaphore. So, driver know in this situation: train ahead - proceed with caution. Worth to mention: It is mandatory in UK to every driver know route - this is becuse old stock has unsuifficient light, and with reduced visibility is almost like ride in darkness ;) So only "track markers" and some characteristic points give information to the driver where train is. In new stock - this is much easier, but route knowlege is a must.
@stanley3647 Oh, interesting. In the Czech Republic, on corridor routes, there are autoblock sections in about 1 km (0.6 mi I think). Interesting thing, the driver can legally pass the danger signal, but he has to follow 3 rules: it has to be an autoblock signal, the sign under the signal has to be white and the train can't be seen in front. We also have shunting signals, red or blue means shunting not allowed, white means shunting allowed
Just like in Train Sim World 4! I was playing the video at 1.5 speed when I realised that’s about the speed Spain's high-speed trains typically run: 310 km/h (193 mph). If you play it at double speed, that would be almost exactly their maximum capability of 404 km/h (251 mph). I live in Spain and have never been on one of the AVEs-no excuse, really, especially with one-way tickets from Madrid to Valencia going for as little as €7.00. Best wishes.
Thanks for the great video lner i was wondering if you could answer this question please, is the station approach alarm unique to the class 91s? As others have said ive never heard it on a cab ride video before. Thanks for bringing us these videos anyway. I've enjoyed using train sim world to try out the azuma on the main line its great.
Really looking forward to this video and is there any chance you could do York to Edinburgh Waverley Via Newcastle? You just got yourself a NEW SUBSCRIBER!!
The pre-station warning is a bit wild and the single tone before a visual signal is easy to figure but what’s with the occasional 6 to 7 rapid, high-pitched beeps?
No chance of the driver forgetting to stop at a station with that racket going off! Top video, thank you for sharing
You'd be surprised by the things that can cause drivers to fail to call at a booked stop!
if i heard that I would take cover
How long has the approach to stations alarms been a thing? Never heard it before on cab view videos?
But still late 😅

"White lines above" - how many "turns" on next junction(s) ahead (left or right)

And analogue for right

Worth to mention: It is mandatory in UK to every driver know route - this is becuse old stock has unsuifficient light, and with reduced visibility is almost like ride in darkness ;) So only "track markers" and some characteristic points give information to the driver where train is.
In new stock - this is much easier, but route knowlege is a must.
@stanley3647 Oh, interesting. In the Czech Republic, on corridor routes, there are autoblock sections in about 1 km (0.6 mi I think). Interesting thing, the driver can legally pass the danger signal, but he has to follow 3 rules: it has to be an autoblock signal, the sign under the signal has to be white and the train can't be seen in front.
We also have shunting signals, red or blue means shunting not allowed, white means shunting allowed
@@stanley3647 Mr. Pedantic here but just to clarify, on the railway it is yellow, not amber as on the roads.
Love these cab rides!
Nice Vid LNER
Just like in Train Sim World 4! I was playing the video at 1.5 speed when I realised that’s about the speed Spain's high-speed trains typically run: 310 km/h (193 mph). If you play it at double speed, that would be almost exactly their maximum capability of 404 km/h (251 mph).
I live in Spain and have never been on one of the AVEs-no excuse, really, especially with one-way tickets from Madrid to Valencia going for as little as €7.00.
Best wishes.
This was so relaxing
Thanks LNER 😊😊
i really enjoyed this
Going to King's Cross IC225 have the DVT leading and Class 91 at rear
The quality is good
That next station alarm has no business being so penetrative. Surely just the verbal cue would be sufficient
Excellent video, watched it twice now and i have to admit i'm glad i've retired, all that charging around at 125 gives one quite the headache.
Reminds me of the skills & experience needed by steam engine crews hurtling along in all weathers and at night, with semaphore signalling!
Thanks for the great video lner i was wondering if you could answer this question please, is the station approach alarm unique to the class 91s? As others have said ive never heard it on a cab ride video before. Thanks for bringing us these videos anyway. I've enjoyed using train sim world to try out the azuma on the main line its great.
Really looking forward to this video and is there any chance you could do York to Edinburgh Waverley Via Newcastle? You just got yourself a NEW SUBSCRIBER!!
Woah that's different from the series of short hops along the route. Been while anyway since last upload. Thanks
Certainly a whole lot quieter than the old class 81-87's !
Because its a DVT :)
@@ryadi1703 That would explain it! What does it sound like in the cab on the other end ?
@@gppsoftware Depends if the gearbox whine is loud or not 😂
Really interesting and informative, please cover the rest of your network.
I so enjoyed that. Thank you.
Großartige Führerstandsmitfahrt 😊😊😊. Liebe Grüße Jörg aus Ostthüringen
Danke fürs Zuschauen 😀
The pre-station warning is a bit wild and the single tone before a visual signal is easy to figure but what’s with the occasional 6 to 7 rapid, high-pitched beeps?
ik eb ervan genoten , fantastisch
