"A burst or any similar defect in any toilet can result in a loss of main reservoir air pressure"... Dear lord...

1:17 A Railway meme is born

"Dispatch, my train has stopped working." "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

8:21 “Place a hand over bodyside heaters and check that heat is coming from them” If you hand is In pain, Go to the centre of the coach

This train was designed by committee. “If the engine doesn’t start, turn on the windscreen wipers, walk down the end of the train and look out the window. Burn some incense then go back to the cab and press the fog light button”. Eh?, re-set the toilet heater to make the doors work?!!! Madness.

Bloody handy this video, i have one of these trains in my back yard and now i can finally work out how to fault find on it and get it going.

For those wondering, 180102 is the unit that will actually be going nowhere

9:49 "You expect the button to light _it doesn't"_

“And You Will Be Going Nowhere” 1:17

6:23 Look how happy he is that he was able to release the doors.

No wonder our trains are late or when they break down its a major farce to resolve! I really feel for drivers having to deal with all this. At least with steam you could limp easily for the rest of the journey! :-)

..."-And you'll be going nowhere!".

Complexity is the most problematic thing about this its so complicated that some drivers can even forget how to use it

7:45 Ensure you that you lock the toilet out of use. Having to take the entire carriage out of service due to a toilet being filled with shit and not being able to flush isn't good.

The class 180 is a complex state-of-the-art high speed train. Those drivers who already been trained to operate these new trains have found them to be efficient and competent. However, there have been problems, and some failures. Sometimes due to a lack of total familiarity, other times to unexpected technical issues. In this short briefing program, we’ll look at some of the common faults, and how to rectify them. And in some cases, how to prevent them happening. Problems can often begin if you don’t carry out the mobilization procedure correctly. So let’s start by going through that routine and looking at some of the pitfalls. As you all know, you start the mobilization procedure from the back cab. If the train is electrically dead, you use the green emergency egress handle to enter this cab. After you pull the handle, and before you slide the door back, reset the handle with your t-key. If you forget to do this, your interlock circuit won’t be made, *and you’ll be going nowhere.* Once in the cab, get into the habit of making an anti-clockwise check starting behind the right hand seat. Press the auxiliary set button. Now over to the right hand side wall and check all the key isolation switches are in the vertical position. Also, the emergency brake button. Check the safety systems panel. The top 3 indicators should be lit. Now move across to the driver position on the left side. Check that the combined power/brake controller is in the full service position. And that the adjacent emergency brake button is in the normal set position. Now put your key in, and select the neutral position on the F&R switch. Reset the AWS, and press the engine start button for 5 seconds. Don’t forget that you must leave at least 30 seconds between setting the auxiliaries and starting the engines. Glance over to the safety systems panel. All 4 indicators should now be lit. However, this may take up to 90 seconds.

Faults and Failures, yes it's someone's fault that the 180's were ordered now being know that they are a failure! Supposedly the ex-HT units were offered to GWR as part of the latest Direct Award, took them a while to stop laughing before saying no!

Damn dat music

You know, if I decided to travel by rail and discover that my train is this class of engine, I would now say "Scrap it! I'm takin' the cab".

1:17 "you'll be going nowhere!"

1:18 yes its a masterpiece

1:28 look at the rust around the door!

And I thought prepping a kettle (steam loco to the uninitiated) was complicated!

1:17 you’ll be going nowhere

0:20 "...efficient and competent. However, they are squeaky."

Some of the main problems with these units are: 1 Digital Ash Tray Sensor Malfunctions. 2 Digital toilet (Digibog) will not swap to manual override when passing through tunnels at 250 mph and once they have overcome the problems with horn tuning, it should be B flat rather than C sharp, they should turn out to be reliable units.

Thank you! Very cool! I was just trying to figure out how to drive my Adelante from the local dealer!

For many year First Hull Trains ran a small fleet of 180's, during this time I have had many Hull To London Kings Cross trips were passengers have had to travel to Doncaster via Northern Rail and change to another service provider to reach London due to 180's failing for one reason or another. As a passenger I am glad to see the back of the 1980's, I believe Grand First Central now have them.......good luck.

I feel like this guy has become a meme

1:17 “You’ll be going nowhere”

1:17 YOU'LL BE GOING NOWHERE LOL

conclusion....too many faults

How to rectify any fault with Adelante: replace them with Class 800s :D

im used to watching YTPs of this to the point where this is weird

Absolutely fantastic engineering to put the toilet heater on the same MCB as the compressor for something equally unimportant like the brakes

Love the style of information videos from the 90’s/early 2000’s.

Never had this trouble with peddle and push carriages on the Leeds to Hudders line. Less walking backwards and forwards too lol

The earth leakage fault is kind of like an STI

This people is why you never contract Alstom to build any Diesel locomotives or DMUs because they’re literally crap at it! Only contract Alstom if you want them to build Electric locomotives or EMUs because they’re better with those!

“If the TMS says that the train’s going to Leeds, turn it off and on again. We don’t go there. We aren’t called First North Eastern.”

11:48 "It poses no fire risk. Whatever..."

I remember watching this videos as a kid. The memories

"hello IT have you tried turning it off and on again?"

A prime example of looks aren't everything.

The Class 180 is the Chrysler PT Cruiser of trains.

4:55 I do hope that isn't the default passcode

rail net channel is the best place to look

No fault can be made worse by hitting it repeatedly with a large hammer.

Just an over complicated design by Alstom as the ATW 175s that are like the 180s also had lots of problems when they were new although they seem pretty reliable now im not sure if the 180s are any better now but its a shame they were problematic as I feel that they are one of the best DMUs out there as they are roomy and very comfy

A check list would be helpful.

Welcome aboard this first great western railway service to london padding we will be calling at (*engine turns off and everything is out of power*)

2:27 Oh that brought back memories of Train Sim 🙂

Choo choo! I'm a train and I approve this video! 🚂

I seem to remember the coaches are numbered F to B, F being the front and B the back

David Camerson's gone up in the world.

Why not?? Not all customers are just non-technical consumers :)

such a helpful video, thanks

I believe he did miss the Frigg check after switching the overload cock switch to purple . School boy error I suppose. Very common on these units.

It appears that there is a lot to know to make you competent and if you aren't up to the task it's going to cause a lot of delays.

0:10 oh REALLY, state of the art? the title says "Faults And Failures" so, it isn't any state of any art 7:10 so if i flush the toilet, i make the train break!

It depends on the Class.

Now First Hull Trains has some of these units. Their reliability record is terrible.

"FirstF Group:Transforming Travel"....To Shit.

As long as there's a smell of washing up liquid, I'm good. It's the impending sense of the rolling pin that disturbs me...

Coronavirus: YoU bE GoINg NoWhErE

"You'll be going nowhere"

Proberly is, but like i said, all rolling stock is plagued with some kind of fault or failure

Cool video

Too many digital this and digital that and a right headache when it goes wrong, 3901 cupboard, if that the case I would spend my life in that cupboard instead of actually driving the train.

Sometimes I’m worried this is on youtube. Like, their guidebook is so messy that putting the training on youtube is easier. « If you have an FNR problem, log on youtube.com and ... »

Train Manager? They are guards.

His name is Paul Tyreman. I am not sure of his position at first but he used to work for NSE

1:14 The infamous part we all know and love

it feels weird watching this after watching the ytp

he's just an actor apparently, he's in a few other videos on KZfaq for Connex and NSE.

1:17 YOUUL BEE GOING NOWARE!

Class 180 Faults and Failures, how long have you got :) Nice Vid

1:17 the moment weve come here for

I'm Feeling Sorry For The Class 180s They Were Just Amazing Trains That Sadly Never Stood a Chance 😢

Dear sir excellent your effort. Highly recommend this for biginners and current members

9:53 A bit of attitude there.

“You’ll be going nowhere”

What a performance, no wonder they're fucked. The starship enterprise has less buttons

I thought a driver's job was to actually drive the train. Instead it seems a driver's actual is to stab at a complicated sequence of buttons.

Just stick a class 37 on the front. That'll solve all the problems.

8:36 Inside is a green isolation coq. Shut this off. But be careful, it gets very hot. The cab vehicles have only one green coq; the other is a thermostatic type, similar to the ones that you might see at home on a radiator. Do not isolate this one, or any other coloured cox in this area.

WHy is it called a "3901 cupboard" rather than say "car maintenance panel" or something? It's almost like the manufacturer wants it to be complicated.

Why do the drivers not use checklists like pilots?

2:29 and 4:41 Reset the AWS - Paul Tyreman.

Oh all the memes I could make out of this video

1:17 the ‘You’ll be going nowhere’ meme.

fav part 10:03

There is so much to do before driveing these trains can`t you fit an auto diagnosis computer that checks the trains automaticly for faults .

Unpopular opinion, i like the 180. Would he interesting to archive one.... probably wont go anywhere (like most museum bound trains) But i do think they're VERY swanky. But like most fully electronic things they have a lot of gremlins Like the P38 Land Rover Range Rover, and Dyson Fans

As i always, say turn it off then back on, if that fails, a lump hammer usually works..............also makes a small failure into a very large expensive one...

Too true......

This is the original ‘you’ll be going nowhere.’

if all fails get a hammer and a large gin and tonic

Why is there a button that you can’t press 😂. It sounds like these trains were designed just to wind up the crews 😂

YOU’LL BE GOING NOWHERE.

Nah not really, faults and failures happen on most rolling stock
