ECML High Speed Action! 24/1/09

[meadowlane37]

nice selection of trains here.

[simonspics1]

How many minutes was it between the train intervals? Wow! Awesome system! I wish The U.S. would have high speed cross country trains

[HSTTrain]

Just in regards to your description, I believe that some of the Class 221 Super Voyagers are actually Class 220 Voyagers? The difference being the 221s come in a 5 car formation where where as the 220 only 4.

[HSTJames1]

I like this video the HST horn is fab :-)

[EssexGayBoi]

The First/barbie doll livery makes anything look gd, incl the now oldish 321's lol

[bordercollies10]

Nice footage! Those HSTs are nice, seen a NXEC one at Pitlochry! That station looks good for trainspotting at! 5 stars!

[AndreiTupolev]

Those Class 91s + mk4 sets do sound pretty good, don't they, the way you can hear them coming.

And the HSTs, nos. 10 & 14 particularly.

And the way the last 91 howls off into the distance.

[scottishrailways]

yeah i like the sound of them mate:)

[andyman2461]

why did the 322 at 01:35 not stop there?

[scottishrailways]

have no clue mate

[itfcsam]

fantastic!

[scottishrailways]

cheers:)

[DjHardaFasta]

i love the way the 91s sound like a flock of birds lol

[scottishrailways]

hehe

[dhoytw]

They seem a bit slow

[scottishrailways]

right lol

[dhoytw]

No really, it does. What's the normal cruise speed of it?

[elfabyanos]

Looks about 100-110mph to me. Any other guesses?

[dhoytw]

I guess that seems about right, I just watched it again, it is pretty quick. The Acela line in the US does about 150.

[mas57]

The 150 mph section is only a small stretch of the NE Corridor. I don't know about the speed limit through this station on the video, but much of the ECML (this line) is built for 125mph running.

[scottishrailways]

its 125 mph max speed at that station:)

[dhoytw]

Yep, it is only through the NE Corridor. I live in NJ and I have seen some of the areas where they top out at 150.

[scottishrailways]

yeah we dont get it that fast here that would rule:P

maybe one day in 30 years or something

[scottishrailways]

lol sam! i expect all the numbers to be listed by tommorrow *jokinggg*:P

[scottishrailways]
