If you know where to look, Ashford Intl is good for finding old Eurostar signs and logos

Another thing to note is declassified first class, which is a nice addition as this is local to me so I near always do 1st :)

Whilst the units are capable of 100mph the p/way doesn't support these speeds.

Yea, with max speed in fact being 70mph.

The ttains are short and the linespeeds slow.

I do this trip all the time from east Croydon to eridge for the spa Lovely train but it needs a referb because having no plugs in 2022 is kind of an issue if u ask me

@danielstripreports Жыл бұрын

Agreed is a shame, perhaps a refit or a replacement is in need of these units, hope u enjoyed the video

Some of the Southern Class 171s are to be cascaded to East Midlands Railway.

Along with the tatty 170 from transport Wales hope that they get a refurbished as they are in poor shape

The class 170 units used here in South Wales by transport Wales are really tatty tables missing the toilet controls notices badly faded and really scruffy just clapped out cast offs from anglia not really suited to the steeply graded ebbw vale line
