when seeing these trains i should be thinking wow. we are finally catching up with the rest of the world when it comes to high speed train servies. yet still we are stuck in the dark ages with these limited to speeds equal to the Class 390 Pendolino that entered service at the start of the millenium. they look amazing though thats just hope they can become High Speed :)

  • Hopefully once the GWML is fitted with the new ERTMS signalling system around 2019 the line speed in parts can be raised to 140mph which should help to bring us somewhat closer to high speed running but I think we still have a long way to go.

    Hopefully HS2 will be built and these nimbys will be told to just shut it

  • Great Video, many thanks for sharing.

  • @GCRobinson04 By that argument 225s have a top speed of 162mph. The 390s can't do 140mph anymore as the suspension was retuned for 125mph i.e. made softer to reduce wear and improve ride.

  • Jealous!! ha great video!

  • @GCRobinson04 Indeed but they still have a design top speed of 140 mph
