    The Class 810 Aurora AT300s are expected to enter service next year that are replacing the Class 180 Adelante and Class 222 Meridian units. Plus Thameslink Class 700 trains will soon stop at Brent Cross West that is probably to be completed before the end of this year. Harpenden is just south of Luton Airport.

      @@StarlifeStudios thats a poor show/offering from EMR 😟💩I was Speaking to a XC driver 2 weeks ago in Exeter and rumours are (just talk at the moment) in the XC camp that the 222’s will be going to XC when the EMR 810’s are up and running mid to late 2023 🤔 We’ll have to wait and see if that evolves because as it stands 222’s are not software compatible with the current XC voyager 220/221 fleet, but there again they could be run as a separate class for XC as everything is unit based now. If they do come across to XC along with the 18 Avanti 221’s then that will probably spell the end for the XC HST’s and 170 Turbostars 😯😟 watch this space 👀👍🏽

      It doesn’t, I could actually produce and publish a video in less than 2 hours but I choose to save my videoes.

    Quick question, why do the Thameslink trains have a higher headcode priority than the fast EMR trains?
    Also congratulations on 7k 🎉🎉
    Nice to see the 360 and 180 aswell :)

    • @StarlifeStudios
      @StarlifeStudios  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Tom, Thameslink use 9 headcodes to distinguish themselves from other operators and to make it easier for signallers to route them the correct way. On National Rail, 9s actually don’t command any extra priority than 1s or 2s. Thanks for being apart of the journey 😃
