Various East Coast services at Retford (High Level), heading around the South and North of the United Kingdom. Trains include: LNER (London North Eastern Railway Class 91s (IC225), HSTs (IC125) and 800/801 Azumas (In Passenger Service and Driver Training), Hull Trains 180 and HST, Grand Central 180s. DB Schenker Class 66. Filmed on 20th May 2019, Between 12:15 and 14:30.
The purpose of this visit was to catch the various Rolling Stock on the East Coast at the moment. At this time, 1D11 was also the first and only passenger service operated by an Azuma. Within a year, all LNER services will be Azumas (IETs) and the HSTs/225s will be withdrawn. Hull Trains is also expected to replace all their stock with IETs..

Thanks for your kind comments Graham, I like the IEPs but I can’t help but feel that a HST is more superior.

@1:01 this is what the Australian XPT train based from

It certainly is, a common sight soon to be removed from British and Australian railways! The XPTs have the same engines as those by East Midlands Trains. My Loughborough video shows that the best.

I tend to have some strange luck on the east coast. On my Grantham video I saw loads of Grand Central Services and here not that many.

I was pleased to see 91119 here. I knew which service it was on before I arrived but I actually thought the intercity livery was on 91118 for some reason. So when I arrived disappointed that I’d missed 91118 by about 2 minutes and saw 91119 come through next I was pumped for some high speed action!

Why is a grand central train stopping

@StarlifeStudios 4 жыл бұрын

RachelMCooks It had to stop at a red signal on the mainline to let the stopping LNER go in front. I believe this is quite common on the East Coast Mainline South just because there are so many trains.

Lubdhak Das Hull trains has leased a set or two from GWR to cover for unavailable 180 Units. They are still running today!

@@StarlifeStudios that's quite nice! So most of them are moved to Scotrail and some are leased from gwr. Nice proof that the gwr hsts didn't die yet.

@StarlifeStudios 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Lubdhak, the ScotRail ones are particularly interesting for me. I’m hoping to travel to Scotland to get some footage of them soon.

@StarlifeStudios 4 жыл бұрын

Leased means that they’re given it from their own in exchange for a cost. So in this case, Porterbrook/Angel Trains own the HST, they allow Great Western Railway to use it at a price per mile, Great Western Railway have then given it (sub-leased) to Hull Trains who ultimately pay GWR a price per mile. I hope that makes sense, it can be a little confusing.

@@StarlifeStudios Well it could have been better without them because the azumas can do 140 instead of 125, although the HST once did 148, it can't operate at that speed, and the intercity 225 can certainly operate at 140 so we could have had faster trains but instead we have no HSTs and the same speed limits
