It was, the weather was both nice and punishing. Some of the clips almost look like it was filmed on a different day! I like the sounds of the STADLERs at speed, very Eurostar esk.

Yes they are! They are very nice trains, certainly one of the best in the UK for several years.

@@StarlifeStudios Yes! That's true however I have never travelled by train in the UK, because I live in Belgium. But I have used the Eurostar train to London for a weekend in 2014. Then, I have travelled by Class 373, while Class 374 did not exist then.

Ahh I see. I have never traveled on a Eurostar so you have traveled on something I havent! Stadler FLIRTs are much more common in mainland Europe than the UK but its nice to see their take on the UK market.

@@StarlifeStudios That is true. But for the UK, it must be a small and single-deck train, because of the capacity there, isn't it?

Yes that's right, we are limited because of older bridges and trackside structures. Even HS2 trains will be limited by it despite it being a 'New' railway. Great to speak to you again Harshan, I haven't seen you for a while. :)

Your so kind TransportElectrics! I really do try to put as much love as I can into this KZfaq channel and despite the challenges this year, we are nearing 3K! #Starto3K

I agree

I agree too.

I don't

@@still_guns why

@@arnoldspottingvideos5269 I think the 745s are some of the best new intercity trains to operate in the UK for years. They are completely different experience to many other operators at a time when Hitachi IEPs seem to be taking over.

Thank you trainspotter11!

Hi David, I completely agree, the Stadlers sound awesome at speed. I've got an entire section dedicated the Great Eastern in my trains at Speed Video. Thank you for your comment 😀

I love the class 755 they good trian

@@StarlifeStudios no problem

Thank you so much Imperialist :)

I'm glad your here Alfredo! I've got some content from your favourite Mainline coming soon :D

@@StarlifeStudios now that sounds good. Looking forward to it!

Thanks Love Five 😃 Merry Christmas to you!

@@StarlifeStudios And to yourself

I believe the IPS-PBO services stop around every 2 hours, but, I'm not 100% sure about that. I could see both the 321 and 745 approaching before I started recording, fortunately, I was facing the right way for it to form into a good crossover! Thanks Arnold :)

@@StarlifeStudios ur welcome buddy

Hi Reginald, I hope you will enjoy it! I highly recommend visiting the buffet on the train as well :)

@@StarlifeStudios Thanks, a blue HST train recently did a railtour from London St Pancras. Videos of it should be available.

Hi James! I’m planning to go to Southend Vic and Southminster once the 720s start to replace the 321s, there will be more variety in the video then. Great suggestion, thank you.

And the Class 720s have also entered service on the Braintree branch line.

Thanks Temidayo :D

Thanks Nathan!

This is the first time I've been to Needham Market. I was actually planning on visiting Stowmarket, although I wanted somewhere the 745/755s didn't stop. Its a lovely little village with a pub and not far from Ipswich. All round warm vibes :)

@@StarlifeStudios I wonder if Greater Anglia and Network Rail could possibly extend the platforms at Needham Market to allow 5-Car, 10-Car and 12-Car trains to stop at Needham Market if necessary. But don’t think it would happen. With Ipswich and Stowmarket stations that have longer platforms.

Thanks itzhomplayz!

Hi Lotrd Everything, Shapes on the end of units are not that uncommon, the new class 195s also have circles on one end. In this case, triangles help staff identify where the disabled area is in the train formation.

Haha! I thought someone would point that out. Thanks Oscar.

No, the conductor clearly threw it out the window. Caught on camera!

I wondered where you were EJC! Your comment got held for review for some reason.. Weather had been trying to rain for most of the day but they do need to sort out the 745s. I only traveled standard whilst in Anglia so it didnt affect me :). Also, the buffet is so nice to see on InterCity stock

@@StarlifeStudios held for review? I wonder why? 🤔 most odd. Yes its refreshing to see a new train with a buffet 😊👍🏽 Here on the GWML we have to endure the IEP with its hard seats and no buffet 😢😖 The HST on the GWML was a far superior customer experience than what we have now. Even the timings are a con when they claimed to save 15 mins off a journey between London and Cardiff. I have a 1987 timetable here when the HST was doing the same journey just as quick as the IEP today.

Yes, I have some words (like my real name etc) on a filter but it flagged your post as 'dangerous'... no matter, I've added you to my 'always approve' list. I miss the HSTs on Great Western, I regret not traveling on them more before they went..

@@StarlifeStudios dangerous? 😂😂 Daft system..I wonder why it did that? Its never happened before? 🤔 Everybody is being watched/censored now more than ever, especially if there are any adverse comments made about this virus or vaccination 😷👍🏽 Yes bring back the HST’s all is forgiven 😂😂👍🏽🎉🎉

@@StarlifeStudios I think its sorted now..it had flagged up a security issue with my gmail which I use for you tube 😎👍🏽🎉

I know :( I prefer a 156 myself but I can see why so many people like the new trains, very fancy!

Craigy, I will put it on the list. I'm working on a few of the other ones you suggested too (like Brighton and Plymouth) although this tier system is making things very difficult!

do Brighton instead
