I love class 720 is my favorite train
Interesting, how rare is it for Thameslink services to ever reach as far as EMP?
Thameslink haven't ever run services to East Midlands Parkway, or beyond Bedford for that matter. I believe the announcements are in the system for connecting to East Midlands Railway services. But you never know, Thameslink may be considering running into the Midlands...
Answer is 805s and I think the "Inspector Sands" alarm I think is a weekly fire alarm test otherwise you be out of the station if it was a drill. I do like the Avanti livery on the 805s they look really good best so far on HITACHI family in the UK. Good catch of the 730 be interesting when the LNR 730s are at this station in the near future.

日本人です! この度は日本に訪れていたただきありがとうございます! I’m Japanese! Thank you for visiting Japan!

I think the alarm is for after the evacuation annoucement plays
Did you flag the 555 down clearly? If so, that’s unacceptable, I mean really someone could be visually impaired and can’t see bus coming, so if unsure a driver should stop just in case. There are TfL stops south of Chessington until edge of Dorking on 465, as well as to two stops before Redhill on 405
Ah interesting, I see both these places are in Surrey too! As for the incident with the 555, I flagged the bus down clearly as with any other bus in London. The thing that makes this worse is, If you watch the video closely in the section where the bus drives past, the driver looks round to see me for a good couple of seconds but still drives straight past. On a more worrying experience I had travelling on the 555 between Hatton Cross and Heathrow, there was a couple onboard headed for the airport with large suitcases who didn't speak great English. They were clearly flustered and in a rush to make their flight. A minute or so after arriving into Hatton Cross, the driver left the cab to have an unscheduled smoke break for almost five minutes. The couple understandably took offence to this and confronted the driver when he returned. From this conversation I learnt that the previous 555 service had not run without any explanation from the company or the driver, and were now over an hour later than they originally intended. The driver, who was absolutely fuming at this point, proceeded to dangerously drive the bus as quickly as he could to Heathrow, well over the speed limit. I never knew whether the couple made their flight or not but I have a feeling they may never use the 555 again - I likely never will. I've contacted Diamond Bus twice now to complain about these incidents. Beyond an automated SMTP acknowledgement from their mail server, I'm still yet to hear any response from the company.

Can u do a Transport Roulette in southwest London?
I'd definitely like to a Transport Roulette round there at some point- I realise that south west London is the only corner we haven't yet visited. It's really difficult to predict where a game of Transport Roulette will take you but I'll definitely consider it!

I just bought 2 x same day round trip tickets London-Brussels for €44 adult €32 child one way + €5 discount, totalling €147 for November 2024 😊
That's a fantastic deal! Eurostar fares really do vary like air fares, you seem to need to book them well in advance.
Thr 458/4 looks smart
It is with sadness that Jetstream Tours announced that it would be ceasing operations of its Tilbury to Gravesend ferry in March 2024, after Thurrock and Kent County Council decided that the ferry was no longer financially viable to subsidise due to rising costs. It's a huge shame to see the only ferry link between the two counties cease. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the ferry, as did many members of the community, who may very well have lost a reasonable commute to their job or shopping centre. The removal of this ferry service means that anyone travelling from Essex to Kent will have to rely solely on the frequently congested (and tolled) Dartford Crossing, adding over an hour to journey times between the two towns.
5:00 The Narita Express did the thing Music Horn moment guess you were happy to hear that
What Caused a 387 to return to the TCS?
Interesting question - the 387s with Gatwick Express are normally maintained at either Selhurst or Brighton depots, however neither of these depots have a wheel lathe. Gatwick Express (and occasionally Southern) send their 377s and 387s up to Hornsey depot, which does have a wheel lathe, to keep the train wheels in good condition.
@@ItsAllAboutTheJourney Interesting, since I rarely go to London, I will have to see for myself next time I am not travelling with someone.

Im gonna take a wild guess and say you're attempting the Tube Challenge next...
Maybe...
Must have been tiring
Was definitely quite tiring! With short connections there wasn't really any opportunity to sit down for very long except on the less busy trains.
GWR?
GWR unfortunately do not stop in London anymore after departing Paddington. GWR services no longer stop at Ealing Broadway or Hayes and Harlington and now run direct to Slough. This is a new change which was brought around when the Elizabeth line timetable on the GWML was increased in late 2022, and is the reason why it was featured in our previous 2021 All Lines Challenge but not this edition. Thanks for raising this!
@@ItsAllAboutTheJourney greenford branch tho

All Line Challenge
But also why didn’t you do all of the overground lines? You only did the mildmay line.
All of the London Overground lines are operated by the same entity within TfL and share a common fleet of rolling stock. Doing all the Overground lines is a challenge in itself - maybe next time... (Also, we filmed this video in April 2024 when the new Overground line names had only just been revealed - I tentatively referred to the Hackney Wick to Stratford section as the Mildmay line expecting the new line names to be introduced before the video was released.)
Ah ok
Great video Bud 👍
Thank you :)
Class 222 Meldan is kinda good , the first class kinda amazing for me ❤❤
I love the Meridian too - the First Class on the Meridian is probably one of my favourites on any intercity train in the UK. It'll be a shame to see them gone even if EMR are running them into the ground a bit.
At 1:04 you said its now possible to go central london from shenfield without changing trains. Unless you aint realise its been possible since tfl rail was here as it ran from shenfield to liverpool street which is in central london
I meant to refer to locations such as Tottenham Court Road and Bond Street which are more centrally located in zone 1 - apologies for the lack of clarity.
The chime is for the class 377
Few years back we had “talking buses” which often mispronounced/misspelled destinations. Now we don’t!

Will these ever run on the Shepperton line?
SWR have only stated so far that these units will be used on Weybridge services and Twickenham loop services. It's possible that they may turn up on these routes in the future but I don't believe any will run on the Shepperton branch at the moment.
These units were actually refurbished with the intention of using them on Waterloo - Portsmouth Hbr fast services,hence the 100mph max.speed.Don't yet know if that's still the intention.
SWR announced just a few months back that these services will not be used on Portsmouth services, and will remain on London suburban services for the moment to supplement the 701s as they are introduced.

Great video, and very nice units !
Great video mate and yes Elinor has replaced Celia on 455s she may well be likely on the new Class 458/4s. There is also a Ham Woods in Plymouth LOL.
Nice video! I can't wait to board one of these myself! The doors on these units open and close really fast, so they're much better for time-keeping on stopping services via Chertsey than 450s but it's got a cosy long-distance interior!
Thank you! I agree, the 458/4s seem to be the best of both worlds.
The second oldest stock in the UK would be the 1973 Piccadilly Stock wouldn't it? Great video anyways mate.
