[Me4313]

silverdalesapphires pendlinos are better than 87's as they go at 125mph instead of 100mph

Ha!

[87006]

scuse me the pendos are shit granted they can go faster and by the way 87's could go at 110mph but regulaly hit over 115. they were more reliable comfortable didnt smell and are now and always have been the true grace and style of the WCML think before you comment next time.

[87002theBEAST]

Agreed sir!!

[SilsdenCougar]

[86501freightliner]

@Me4313 no they ain't.....Pendolinos smell horrid, don't work in the sn0w, and also look horrid....and they''re uncomfortable...

[loonies125]

brilliant vid!!!

[silverdalesapphires]

And I thought I was insane about 87's. Virgin will regret the day they dumped these wonderful machines for that Italian crap!

[andiofwbafc]

Thanks for that mate, fantastic video.

I've done that trip between Wolves/Coventry on a West midlands Daysaver to many times to mention :-)

What I'd give to be able to do it just once more with an 87 propelling :-(

At least your video reminds me of the sights & sounds.

Thanks again mate.

Your welcome, I know what you mean yeah, at one time these trains were ten a penny, but now all we can do is watch them play. Cheers!!

[jimusgrimus]

Did you know the foundry at wolverhampton has been demolished

[video47]

I know some things have gone from there, when did that one go?

[jimusgrimus]

Started to pull it down last year.......it looked like a real hell hole to work in. The old low level station has been 'redeveloped'......but the ghosts of the Westerns will never be exorcised!

[video47]

Yes I know the place you mean, is the old railway carriage thing still there or has that now gone, sorry just can't remember from when I was last there a couple of months ago

[jimusgrimus]

Thats been gone for years now. The old bonded warehouse.......GWR I beleive, has been flattened and on its site there is a new post office place. My worry is with all this redeveloping going on.....will they ruin one of the best pubs in the land...THE GREAT WESTERN? Lets hope not eh?

[video47]

Oh dear, can't have that!

[jimusgrimus]

gotta go......off to work

[johnor1]

looks like mk2's

[video47]

They were actually MK3's. This was filmed in November 2004 whn Virgin still had a few loco hauled services and more MK3 sets. The windows look slightly longer and have a more shiny plastic inside.

[Hyperen]

What kind of coaches are those?

[fatboy344]

I like this very much five star's!!!!!

[video47]

Thanks for that!
