I love how they a bragging about how it will be reliable yet 20 years later, they are still suffering from problems!

Both the 175 & 180s (same train pretty much as they were part of the same order with First) were plagued with reliability issues when new the 175s whilst reliable now are suffering from corrosion issues the 180s are still suffering with issues now. I find the 175s much more comfier and quieter than a 185 which is one of the Coradia 1000s strong points, if Alstom had managed to sort the problems out before service I think more would have been built as they do have a really nice layout

Due to poor punctuation this is hard to understand but are you saying the TPE 185s are Alston? Because they are not, they are Siemens Desiro.

I know always thought the curvy front on these was hideous and I still think it is in fact I think it looks better under the grand central livery. Its funny how he can say its the safest train in the world when there is a pendolino in the background which already is brilliant. The class 180 stands no chance against a class 43 hst the hsts were much better than the crappy class 180s which are dangerous grockles.

@dieseldragon6756 9 ай бұрын

I'm not going to go anywhere near the reputation the Adelante gained in service, but what I can't get was what on earth fGW were thinking ordering 5-car DMUs for services that were ordinarily operated using HSTs with *eight entire cars* to them? 😲 And they wondered why people complained about having to stand... 😼

Um, these were all built in 2002 - it's an old video you see so the trains aren't actually new now! First Great Western got rid of them in 2007/2008 because they were so unreliable! They got some back in 2012 but now they're going again! Fourteen were ordered.
