Yep, pretty unusual event!

I feel honoured reading this. In my home town you can get the 170 (in west midlands railway) and the 221 in virgin trains. we also get 158's in arriva trains wales (soon to be keolisamey wales)

Yes, there is so much variety on the UK rail network! Well worth the visit :)

Crepello100 Thank you for your comment, glad you like the style :)

Yeah this way you get a much better sense of speed not zooming in as sometimes when zooming in it can make it look slower than it actually is

I agree

@@wharris302 i hate that

I agree as well

Thank you for watching! That clip was taken at Tackley station in Oxfordshire, a lovely little village station. The HSTs will be around for at least a few more years yet thankfully!

ACETrainsUK oh okay thank you and also wondering if you would happen to know why some of the HSTs with East Midlands trains have that high pitch almost screeching sound as they pass by but others like on First Great Western or East Coast trains don't have that sound

The East Midlands HSTs are fitted with VP185 engines, which make a screaming sound at speed, whilst the FGW and East Coast HSTs are fitted with MTU engines, which are quieter.

ACETrainsUK oh okay thank you

Thank you, Trains at Speed 3 is out now on my channel if you want to take a look! :)

Thank you! I tend to try and avoid doing such shots most of the time as I think you get a much better sense of speed this way :)

Exactly!

+Álvaro Arrans Thank you :) Glad you like the HST too

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!

Merci! :)

Thank you! :)

+nicholas boosey Thank you! :)

+Alex Fishburn Yep, spot on! Very well-kept stations from what I saw on my visits there :)

+Helvett222 Thank you! Glad you liked the video :)

Probably a result of having so many different train companies in a small country, thank you for your comment :)

+Yvonne Choi Thank you! :)

Thank you! Yep, a good spot to see a variety of South West Trains :)

Thank you, glad you like it :)

Thank you :)

Thanks!

Thank you very much :)

ACETrainsUK Your welcome, I've subbed too. Looking forward to seeing future videos 😁

Thanks :)

Thank you!

+The Enthusiastic Trainspotter (DRS68004 Oscar) Thank you! :)

Thank you! That was in service as it was operating a diverted Virgin Trains service during engineering works.

There's plenty of variety on this small island so you wouldn't have to travel far to see all these different types of trains once you're over here :)

ACETrainsUK there's good variety in Australia too, I'd argue that perhaps we even have more variety, but it's spread out over MASSIVE distances, in the U.K. Just go to all the London terminus stations in one day and you'll probably see the majority of the trains that the UK has, just missing some welsh, Scottish and freight and pacers

Exactly, as much as I'd like to visit Australia to see the trains over there, it is the issue that the different lines are a very long distance apart, therefore I would need to plan out an itinerary that covers the whole country lol

ACETrainsUK go to Cairns Brisbane Sydney Melbourne Adelaide and Perth and you'll see the majority of the trains staying in those cities, some trains for nsw and Queensland you'll need to venture further out, for NSW it's a particular type of railcar but you don't have to leave the train network to see it, for Queensland you have to go 6-7 hour by rail to see it as it's super long electric coal trains, there's a few other freight to see but there's no real way (with public transport) to get to them, I'm not sure what they have in Tasmania but Tasmania is often ignored by most Australians, I know they have some network but I'd probably only go for the heritage steam trains, you can get to all the cities mention by rail which would fill in the rest of the gaps for freight, I'd start in Perth, you'd only need a day there to really see the commuter network (they only have 2 types) then I'd get the train that goes as far as Kalgoorlie, as it's unique to that route, everywhere else uses a different train for long distance, also it's a good place for freight as you wait for the train to Adelaide, stop off at Adelaide, your choice if you want to go to Darwin, the train you'll get to Darwin will be the only train you'll see up there, there's a suburban network in Adelaide, wouldn't take long to see it all, then you have the choice to go throughout to NSW by waiting for the train that you got off, or go to Melbourne instead, Melbournes network is still not as large, but really you should go for the trams, then head up to Sydney, you can go to Canberra but the train that does the journey you'll see at Sydney, the only Train that you won't see you'll see if you head up to Hamilton station, then you get the train to Brisbane, the commuter network all funnels into the city so spend a day and you'll see all commuter and freight, there's a light rail network on the Gold Coast that you'll need a train to get to, there's a light rail in Sydney, but you don't need to travel far to get to it, Brisbane has a great train heritage program with at least 1 heritage tour per month, Brisbane is my local city and you can see in my channel everything Brisbane has to offer, then I'd either go straight for the train to emerald/Blackwater, or go to Rockhampton first and spend a few hours or days there first, as Denison street is very cool (it's where the north coast mainline runs down the middle of a street) i have yet to go there myself, but I definitely will, at emerald or Blackwater you can see the 2km long electric freight trains, I think Blackwater may be better but I have to check, then when the train comes back then you stop off at Rockhampton again and wait for the train to cairns, there's another train Townsville that you can look at but it's the same locomotive that you would've seen already by now with the same carriages as the train to Blackwater but just smaller, similar to the train to Toowoomba, then at cairns the rest of the trains that you haven't seen yet will come to cairns, but it would be a lot better to go on them as the train journey from cairns to Kuranda is just amazing and one I Have to do myself, there will be only 1 train left and that's the gulf lander, it's hard to get to as it's not connected to any other rail network but it's near cairns, then there's all the heritage locomotives all over the place that are hard to get to as it requires them to be running

@@ACETrainsUK pretty much… i had to go 500km to see a steam train because it wasnt near me, for you. You might have to go maybe 50 km to find one 🤔

Yep, plenty of variety back then!

+batman51 Yep there certainly was a lot of time involved, roughly 2 years to be exact! :) Glad to say that the second instalment of "Trains at Speed" is almost complete now :)

+Michael Healey Thanks! It was in service as Virgin were diverted via the Chiltern line when the WCML was shut and as it was only an hourly service, they needed a 15 car train to carry all the passengers.

+ACETrainsUK That is the first I've seen a 15 Car Super Voyager The maximum usually is 10 overall fantastic compilation

Sharks Rule east coast went bust in 2015 now it's virgin operating the ECML

Virgin went bust in 2018 now LNER is operating on the ECML

There are a few more clips of HS1 trains on my second "Passenger Trains at Speed UK" video, which can be found on my channel home page :)

+ACETrainsUK May I have permission to use this? (I make videos that are other peoples but in X2 Speed can I have permission to use the video) (I always give credit during the video)

Thanks for watching! Britain's strategy has historically preferred the development of lightweight, high-speed diesel trains instead of investing in widespread electrification, hence the fast diesel trains we have over here.

Thomas Lauffenberger Thank you! I'll consider some more of those shots for the next compilation :)

That was Haddenham & Thame Parkway on the Chiltern line. Thank you for your comment :)

ACETrainsUK Does Virgin normally serves that station?

Crystal Mover Nope, they were on diversion away from the WCML at the time due to engineering works.

Yes, I agree, nothing beats the HST!

Thank you! There is more variety on my second installment "Passenger Trains at Speed UK 2" on my channel, which features Northern and VTEC. A new video for 2017 should be out early next year :)

Yep, not something you see every day!

The non-electric trains are all diesel-powered. Gas turbine technology never really took off beyond prototype models on the UK rail network, but hydrogen and battery-powered trains are actively being trialled in the UK now for a non-diesel alternative. Thanks for watching.

+London Midland Fan / shelby3024 Yep, one of the 110mph Desiros! :)

Thanks :) The location was Sandy.

3:42 That is Harringay, pretty much the only place on the ECML where trains tilt. If not, maybe Prestonpans as well.

+shelby3024 YT actual clip starts at 3:44 oops

ACETrainsUK what programming do you use to upload/edit your videos?

lwilson1990 I use a basic Windows Live movie maker but am considering buying more professional software soon :)

Thank you for the comment :) The reason I have decided to put all of the FCCs, Southerns and Gatwick Express services under GT was because they will all be classed as GT in the near future so just decided to do that to make the categorising easier.

Yep, incredible how much has changed in a short space of time!

Around 50% are diesel and 50% are electric in England.

There's a mix of electric and diesels in this video

It's perfectly safe as long as everyone stands behind the yellow line.

Thank you! That station is Sandy, between Stevenage and Peterborough on the ECML.

Thanks, I thought it might be! Can I be annoying and ask where the one with 321s at speed is? (AGA)

TomCrippsTrains Not annoying at all! That was Manor Park on the GEML between Stratford and Ilford

Thanks again :)

+quattrohead Those VP185s are certainly sounding more like Valentas these days! :) Thanks for commenting

+Dan Martin There's a Freight trains at speed compilation on my channel :)

Thank you!

ACETrainsUK why don't trainspotters talk in there videos. :-( am I one of the only people who has a voice box!

trains R boss 433 I'm not a huge fan of talking in videos, mainly as I think the sounds of the trains would be spoiled that way. I understand that some people like to hear talking and I'm fine with that, I just prefer not to do so in my videos.

That's what everyone says :-[

+Arbiter40 look at tornado he talks in his vids ;)

I don't actually have any footage of ScotRail trains yet, hoping to go north of the border soon though. Thank you for your comment :)

Alfie Perriman Subbed back, thank you for subbing :)

Your welcome in just annoyed at the moment because I can't upload

That's a shame, I look forwards to seeing videos when you do manage to upload :)

thanks dude

Yep, we certainly like our variety! The ones in this video are mostly travelling at 120-200kmh. Thank you for watching.

+Alfie Perriman Thanks :)

Your welcome

Yep the small ones are for deep-level tubes and the bigger ones are "sub-surface" stock :)

Unfortunately, c2c is not included in this Trains at Speed video, it is, however, included in the "Passenger Trains at Speed UK 2" video on my channel, where nearly all of the train companies were included. Thank you for watching!

This was released 7 years ago, the 720s hadn't even been ordered then, let alone built.

nonexistant

Yep, they certainly fly through Tamworth!

ACETrainsUK imagine an XC HST passing Tamworth at max speed

I think they do pass through Tamworth once a day, I'll try and get some footage of it one day :)

I did not realise that Anglia was the Polish for England. In England, "Anglia" refers to a section of Eastern England, stretching from Great Yarmouth to Peterborough. Thank you for commenting! :)

ACETrainsUK Thanks for letting me know!

Unique Curse Balcombe

The Eurostar carries passengers between London and Paris/Brussels

Okay
