4:03 I love how unbelievably crap the "appropriate label" is.

I was so excited when I ticked off the Sprinter and Super Sprinter in my I-spy railways book, I was so bored with the HST's we get around here. How naive I was as a child.

Dropping outrageous beats on training vids

Guy getting off at 7:18 flexing hand that got stuck in the door 😋

The tractor in the background!

ah yes, the 80's era music in the intro....very relaxing.

The guard looks well dodgy.

Oh look someone working trackside without safety boots, cat 3 hi vis or a helmet. Amazing he survived 😂

Man that livery was ahead of it's time and still looks very good today

The 155 door is a guillotine. The 153... I got time for it.

Is it or is the solution to any problem on these trains just 'try it again and see what happens'?

One of these turned up one Saturday night at M/cr Picc and I was given it for the New Mills service.....we were turned back at Bredbury because of a problem further up the line. Then an engine stopped on the way back.....When I got back I had it taken to Longsight DED. After this I drove quite a few 153s but never another 155.

Wow! Very similar with Class 315 when it was new in 1980s. 315s has drivers (front) and guards (rear). Sadly of 315s being scrapped but hopfully one unit should saved. I'm not sure about modern London Underground trains but they got CCTV screens in drive cabs.

the guard looks such a dork

5:17 😂

i just love british 80s train

the introduction music is so exciting.

"hello panel this the driver of 155 307 i need fitters to the next station please" I know its only for instructions but if you as the driver rang up the signalling centre and said that the signaller wouldn't know who you were and only knew of your position because of track circuits, as the correct procedure would of been hello panel this is the driver of 2G83 for example, at least it gives the signaller a heads up to who you are.. 155 307 means nothing to a signaller... he or she doesn't know what's been allocated to that set all they know services by is headcodes.. EDITED: Actually it would of been "hello signaller this the driver of 2G83 standing at signal (example) Bravo Tango 5 5".. him not following the procedure would of ended up being picked up everytime he has to go for a review, basically in train driving terms every year or two you go for evaluation to check your following the rules, you know what your doing, you know the routes etc, and that may of meant he failed that part of the test and it would of been picked up by a manager and gone through retraining to requalify him a train driver. It's like a car licence but its validlity is shortened...

Well I saw a "super sprinter" (156405) on the Derby - Crewe line last week at Tutbury and Hatton station, still in Welsh livery. So these "old" trains are still serving passengers in May 2023.

TLDW; If you can't interlock, just keep opening and closing the doors, hopefully everything sort of works

A few years ago (~2019) I heard someone at Leeds station ask the Northern staff if the 155 I was sat on was the London train. 😂 "No love, big red train, platform 6, over the bridge, you've got about 10 minutes" 👍

Was that guard a village person? how very 80's he is!

Great old film of these units at Newport Cardiff and canton depot they are still in use here in South Wales nearly 35 years later 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

12:04 you could have just used the gangway to cross into the other unit

Is that Postman Pat? Jesus...he must have been rich with 2 jobs on the go! How did he find the time?! lol

Oh the music

this is why i like working on a heritage railway with MK1 doors it's alot essayer

looks like Cardiff.

Interesting that the guard's door doesn't count for the Interlock signal here.

is it me but do all sprinters except class 150s the units have bowed

Just a thought: During the section where it talks about the interlock bulb failing in the button, if the guard were to test the signal button wouldn't that introduce a risk that the driver could mistake that as a signal to leave? Except if it was pressed once.

And they want to do away with guards......

Whats the intro music?

5:20 JUST NO

Why isn’t there a button to open all the doors at once

has to be be the worst of the Sprinter types IMHO

Spotted a driver mistake! When driving, the headlight was illuminated on the drivers side. This must only be done at night, not during the day. Should be illuminated on the other side during the day.
