hah, the 153+170 combo at the end being driven from the 153 😂 i know they've been running those 170+153s like that for years but didn't occur to me that they could be driven from the 153 end but makes sense lol...
The voyager is a 4 car DMU and the Super Voyager is a 5 car DMU that is capable of taking corners at a higher speed because it can tilt like the Pendolino
The Bombardier Voyager family (Classes 220, 221 and 222) are actually DEMUs; the Diesel engines act as generators for electric motors that provide the traction. There are DMUs (with conventional hydraulic transmissions instead of electric motors) that use the same engines (Cummins QSK19) directly, however. The Alstom Class 180 Adelante and the Siemens Class 185 Desiro. The former is notable for being the only 125mph diesel-hydraulic DMU.
That arriva wasn't just for Aberystwyth it splits into two trains at Machynlleth so two carriages continue to Aberystwyth and two to the beautiful Cambrian coast line (which I recommend you check out) to a pwilli
+Louis Finlayson It depends on the station that you go to. For stations close to London I always ask for permission first, but most other stations I just start filming. Usually I'm in full view of the station staff so they can see what I'm doing
Technically, all the Class 220 Voyagers and 221 Super Voyagers are owned by HSBC. Both fleets were operated by Virgin West Coast and Virgin Crosscountry, but the 2007 franchise changes saw Arriva Crosscountry getting all of the 220's and around half of the 221 fleet, while the other half of the 221's stayed with Virgin West Coast.
Have a pretty dim view of this station. It is too dingy, platforms are too small and I got lost one time when I actually got out of the station in the pouring rain. That was my impression of Birmingham.
Thats the unfortunate truth about Birmingham New Street, becuase it's so busy its very easy to get lost in the station. I know what you mean about the platforms being to small. When i got off my train i had to fight through a crowd of people
I've heard the pollution levels at New Street are hazardous because of all the DMU's belching out fumes in what is essentially an underground station, way too many diesels running under the wires.
I wouldn't have ever thought they were hazardous in all honesty. A lot of the diesel trains join the electrified section of the line just outside the station.
You don't need permission. I have been there twice now and never asked to film. The staff could see me at all times anyway so they knew what I was doing.
gave a like! 220 = cross country
221 = virgin super voyager
350 = london midland
390 = virgin pendolino
Jakeba Hulse Thanks very much
U got the class 08
Do love the sound of those 220/221's
yh
They do sound gorgeous
hah, the 153+170 combo at the end being driven from the 153 😂 i know they've been running those 170+153s like that for years but didn't occur to me that they could be driven from the 153 end but makes sense lol...
love the sound 350s make...
It's different
Why different
Same
@GamingGacha I know right
very nice enjoyed it :) thank you
Your very welcome :)
I'm new to learning about trains in the UK and was curious what's the difference between the voyager and super voyager
The voyager is a 4 car DMU and the Super Voyager is a 5 car DMU that is capable of taking corners at a higher speed because it can tilt like the Pendolino

thanks very much :)

right ok thanks very much for letting me know :) I must admit I don't really know an awful lot about the services operated by Arriva Trains Wales

Thanks very much
Do you like Birmingham New Street
4:03 I think that train might be going to Walsall
I cant remember it was so long ago now
Tornado922 I think so ?
This needs more views, and more love as it must cost this guy time and money to make these vids
I like the look of cross country voyagers.
The livery really does suit them
Damn right
I would love to go to Birmingham New Street for the voyagers.
You'll get plenty of them
I come to this station a lot but I've never been on this side because I live near Worcester
I hope you enjoyed it
yep i did thanks for filming it
When you are on a platform filming trains, do you tell a member of staff or something you are there or do you not need to?
+Louis Finlayson It depends on the station that you go to. For stations close to London I always ask for permission first, but most other stations I just start filming. Usually I'm in full view of the station staff so they can see what I'm doing
+Tornado922 Ok, thanks
nice
Virgin have got some Voyagers back?
Virgin earn near enough all of the super voyagers. Have done since they were built
Own sorry
Ah right I thought they didn't use them anymore and leased them all to Cross Country trains
No cross country own all of the standard voyagers and a few of the super voyagers
Technically, all the Class 220 Voyagers and 221 Super Voyagers are owned by HSBC. Both fleets were operated by Virgin West Coast and Virgin Crosscountry, but the 2007 franchise changes saw Arriva Crosscountry getting all of the 220's and around half of the 221 fleet, while the other half of the 221's stayed with Virgin West Coast.
You are the best
Thank you kindly for saying so
I miss arriva 😭
Me to
Love it where is longbridge
I haven't filmed there as of yet
No he said WHERE is Longbridge
Keiran Clarke um I think he can read..

It is worse when you have luggage.
+Tornado922 you would of been fine in the fight, you had your tablet. 'GET OUT OF THE WAY, JARRED WEBB COMING THROUGH'
Wrong
zarak002 you are awesome
Can you do Shrewsbury
I'm sure next year I will go there
so many 221/220’s!
i guess i could have just said So many voyagers haha
Would've been easier hahaha, well if you love your voyagers this is the place to be lol
Yeah you get quality sound from them
How many Scottish services depart Birmingham New Street
roughly 2/3 every hour depending on the time of the day
Is cross country the only U.K. Passenger rail network that doesn't go to London?
Yes, with the acception of Arriva Trains Wales and the companies running in the north of England
Wrong some greater Anglia trains don't go to London and some East Midlands Trains.
scotrail aswell
No northern trains don't go to london either
@@keiranclarke2955 they mean by all services, no cross country services go to London at all, some greater anglia services do
:-D I like trains
*gets hit by a train by asdf movie*
Which platform were you on?
4/5 I think
This another station I want to record at :)
I do highly recommend this station
Tornado922 do you have to ask for permission to film? Wouldn't want to go all the way there hen can't film
Good 👍
Did you have to ask for permission to film here?
Yes I went to the Network Rail office and they gave me an ID card to wear whilst I was filming. Most major stations now operate this policy
Today I’m going to London Easton by a virgin trains
ok
Any train for lime street station
Furthur up there are services to Liverpool Lime Street from Birmingham New Street operated by what used to be London Midland
which is now London northwestern railway
Wait what this was recorded in 2015?!?
yes?
Must have thought it was more recent :p
350s going to walsall and not London Euston???????
It's a route they operate every day

Love you tornado922
Well that's very nice of you to say so
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
The Cross Country Newcastle train went the wrong way
They come into Birmingham New Street and will exit in the same direction depending on the route that they have to take
I've heard the pollution levels at New Street are hazardous because of all the DMU's belching out fumes in what is essentially an underground station, way too many diesels running under the wires.
I wouldn't have ever thought they were hazardous in all honesty. A lot of the diesel trains join the electrified section of the line just outside the station.
tsangpogorge Wrong
I have done videos at birmingham new street train station
Tyler Norman It's a great station to film at
I will try that
At Birmingham new street you have to get permission to film trains.
You don't need permission. I have been there twice now and never asked to film. The staff could see me at all times anyway so they knew what I was doing.
***** iwent on 2 turbos 170513 and 170507
michaela harris oh right cool. I find them to be really comfortable
***** the 507 gave me a horn when it was leavin
michaela harris awesome :)
Why don't try London Marylebone
At some point I will think about filming there
News flash he has been to Marylebone
It was 3 I was on the same platform
Kyle G wrong it was 4/5
i live in longbridge
zulu 69 it sounds nice i hope tornado and i get to film there
Try Newcastle
I'm going there next week. Starting at Newcastle and working my way down the ECML. I have a vid up explaining that
News flash he made a career of filming at Newcastle
