RIP the Glory Days, screw Avanti West Coast. Song - Little Dark Age (Prodigy Remix) If those bloody UMG idiots strike this video I swear to god I will strafe them with an A-10..
The problem is separation of infrastructure & operator. The German railways were once they envy of Europe, now that the EU Commission has broken up DB they're a national embarrassment.
The truth is, we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. This video made me nostalgic, even though I'm from Spain, because we've also lost a lot in our railways.
Has to be either virgin or ideally a return of the LMS/BR Intercity type TOC, we’ve sold the bottom out of this country the last 50 years and now we the public are paying the price of letting them do it.
What I wouldn't give for br to come back. it was flawed but nowhere near as f*cked as the nonsense system of price gouging middlemen and careless franchises of today.
The same have been obvious for govia since 2009 and they got themslink. Removing virgin was the worst disaster in British rail history since giving Arriva northern in 2016
@@welsh_Witch Every other operator First runs is awful, and GWR is far from good. All of their stopper trains are in abysmal condition, with absurd levels of dirtiness both inside and out, seats and interior panels literally falling apart, and they cost just as much as an intercity service along the same route of track.

didnt some class 37s get sent out to spain?
@@thepacerman we had some British built diesel locos back in the 1950s, that's the closest thing I can think of
@@osasunaitor Dont you mean the ALCO 321?
The day the WCML lost its virginity was a truly sad day 😔
i see what you did there...
Sussy comment
Privatisation failed the next logical move is just to return to the pre group system or the big 4 railways
GWR and LNER both still exist so maybe we could try
The west coast mainline, once one of the most valued parts of the network, now just taken as a joke
Don't belive in New eletronic train belive in old's eletro-diesel trains

The Unrefurbished 390’s and 221’s are still Virgin in our Hearts.
We need to renationlize the British railways as soon as possible

Go back to firsr, second and saver returns and an end to all these stupid restrictions and penalties when you can and can't catch trains.

Worr its Finn
@@kazdrone yeahhhhh the one and only :)
What a disgrace it!! 😡💔
1:37 its cuz the trains suck

Not really, LNER does a better job than Avanti in it's current state.
@@kazdrone talking about rolling stock here, pendolinos are far better than IETs
@@choppership465 91s still exist..
@@kazdrone yh but they’re not as frequent
Never should have kicked out Virgin, First ruins everything it touches - that much has been obvious for years.
The same have been obvious for govia since 2009 and they got themslink.

i mean the GWR has been pretty good

Virgin was perfect, nothing needed changing
