I love the Voyagers. I was on 220005 on a Penzance - Aberdeen working the other week visiting my friend and we got battered. I was on the window side as well!! We kept going. And a London Paddington - Penzance FGW HST had to terminate because a wave hit it and it broke down.

That is a rare one, I am surprised they let the voyager go along the sea wall, usual practice is to terminate at Exeter in stormy conditions.

im surprised that voyager didn't break down

[blade5859]

Yes they don't like to get wet, usually they stop at Exeter until the end of high tide in stormy weather.

@Noniepop well its not the video itself, its the very bad misleading title - common practice now on YouTube to get more hits :(

[southerntrains3]

Yeah! I mean its pretty dangerous considering a big enough wave could hit the train and derail it! :P

Surely you meant "Voyager almost hit by fairly large wave at Dawlish"

[davidsan01]

Didnt even hit it!

Voyagers - headache inducing thrumming throughout the whole journey, almost mathematically impossible misalignment of seats to windows and still, long after the problem was supposed to be fixed, vague toilet smells, particularly after heavy braking.
