First off ,id STRONGLY RECOMMEND headphones!!😊😊

electrostar motors are really calming. it's loud but that slow increase in pitch is really nice

Finally rode on these again to their max speed , they make excellent sounds!! Very characterful. Second gen electrostars are among my favourite trains. I love the plastic feel they give off.

Good video dude enjoyed it. I love the sound's of the electrostars keep it up!.

The GWR Class 387/1s are very nice and lot smoother. I have been on them few times to Reading, Didcot Parkway and Bristol Parkway. They have such excellent speed as they are capable of reaching speeds up to 110mph (177km/h).

They are pretty audible towards top speed. Then again I already knew electrostars were loud because when I used to time 375s they would be noisy at speed too. Not as noisy as 465 Met-Cams though!

Would love to see a 377/7 doing such speeds with modifications. The 379s will be entering service with Great Northern soon, some already being dragged from Worksop to Hornsey. I wonder if Great Northern will add modifications to them to get their speed extended to 110 to deal with the tight gaps between services at Welwyn. The 379s will make riding 1st class with Great Northern worth it again, as their first class seats, (compared to the GX units), is amazing. With the addition of the 387/3s to Great Northern, I will probably go hunting for them also, as my goal is to ride every Electrostar variant, my list is almost complete, as I have been on all variants of the 375, 377, the 357, the 378, the 376, the 379, and the GX 387s, still, I have to tick off the HX ones as well as the GWR & Great Northern ones, all to be done very soon!

I am getting a sore backside just looking at them seats. 😀
