Spectacular report and video! New sub! Keep up your amazing work! :D
Thank you Andrew!
Great trip report
Been having these 170’s on my local line for nearly 6 years now
Looking forward for the new trains to enter service along with the 730’s
Can’t wait for the class 196 to come in service
Same, big improvement
@@danielstripreportswill you be reviewing the 196s when they enter service?
Great video.
Cheers Madeline
We depart Hereford on time?
You meant Birmingham new street on Time 😂
Nice video btw
Edit Very scenic lovely scenery
Ah yes my bad. Fantastic views tbf
Nice
My local station (1 of 2 as another is Malvern Link) 08:59
Usually class 172’s on this route now, really uncomfortable
I'm afraid I have to agree with a poster on an earlier video that the quality is dropping. Another poster here has already commented on error in the commentary on departure from BNS, I also picked up on some double soundtrack prior to this. Additionally the statement about all XC trains bar one Edinburgh-Glasgow service stopping at BNS is very inaccurate, numerous early morning/late night trains only run along the outer reaches of the XC network e.g. Penzance-Plymouth, Bristol-Paignton and Aberdeen-Edinburgh. For info the 170s are likely to be cascaded to EMR to replace their 156/158s.
I remain convinced this was a GCSE Media Studies course work project, are you planning to continue for your A levels?
I mean u don't have to watch if you don't want to, your free to unsubscribe. The GCSE comment is rather insulting to be honest, as I've put hundreds of pounds if not thousands into this channel, and I of course intend on carrying on with this channel post GCSEs. Again, it's your choice to watch my videos, the sound overlay was a mistake, I had to edit 2 videos in one day, as it was the day before my holiday where I'm away from my editing software. This videos views are doing very well, so obviously your comments are not shared by others.
I do hope you have a good day.
Kind regards - Daniel
Your content is interesting, which is why I'll continue to watch, however there have been inaccuracies in the past and at least two other posters have picked up on quality issues. I take it you have heard of 'constructive criticism' and 'development advice'? It's what I do in a different world. Just because you spend a lot of money on something it doesn't always result in a quality product.
I have indeed heard of constructive criticism. Tell me, why do you believe I'm stopping this project because my GCSEs have ended? This has nothing to do with my GCSEs, I do it to share my travel experiences with the internet and make a little money on the side, although I lose a lot of money with this. Give us an answer.
@@danielstripreports I'm not suggesting you're stopping it, my belief is it was used as part of GCSE Media Studies coursework - hence my comment a long time ago about your target audience (hence more hits and potential income). I would suggest if you're looking at the railway audience you need to be much more accurate and increase the factual content. If you're looking at the 16-21 age group then perhaps a little more information about 'what to do, where to go' might help.
I don't need to be told how to run my channel, naturally mistakes will be made in videos, I'm still learning, at the end of the day I run my channel the way I want my target audience is anyone, don't care if you're old or young, a wide range of people watch my videos.

Thanks!
@@danielstripreports please support me friend
I used to live on this line but I prefer the 172s over the 170s because the 172s have charging points
Hang on... isn't that train in EMR livery?
Yes, I believe they're on loan to west midlands
Scotrail used to have a lot of 170s especially at Glasgow Queen Street Station where they pretty much ruled until the upper level was electrified in 2017. They were found operating from Glasgow to Edinburgh as well as Glasgow/Edinburgh to Aberdeen/Inverness. They have since been replaced by class 385s on the Glasgow to Edinburgh route and refurbished intercity 125s have replaced them on the Aberdeen/Inverness route although 170s still occasionally operate those routes
Ah I knew ScotRail had 170s, they had buffet counters originally I think. The 125s are a big improvement.
@@danielstripreports I don’t think the Scotrail 170s ever had a buffet counter but I know some 170s in England did. It’s real amazing how the intercity 125s despite their age still do a very good job and offer a descent level of comfort more so than more recent trains
@@gftyhify I've just spent some time using an 8 day Spirit of Scotland pass and most of the long distance trips were either 158s or 170s as the HST sets are suffering from reliability issues, according to one employee I spoke to.
@@kevinellis8869 i was at Queen Street today and I saw a train bound for Aberdeen on the board. I wasn’t around to see what kind of train it was but it said on the departure board 5 cars but no mention of inter7cities do that must have been a class 158 coupled to a 170
@@gftyhify Yes, that's what I saw once. I was expecting at least 3 or 4 HST trips during my visit but none occurred.
The Scotrail 170s have better leg room in my opinion, but pathetically small tray tables
What happened at 2:44? Weird audio overlay? Other then that great video Daniel! And I got the notification this time!
Yeah little editing mistake, I was very busy when editing this video so didn't realise the mistake. Thanks glad u enjoyed
East Midlands Railway Class 170 on loan with West Midlands Railway. Also I’ve been to Birmingham New Street and it’s a massive station.
It's giant tbf, nice station tho
@@danielstripreports Yeah it is
The trains are always 172 trains now and are horribly uncomfortable
Class 172?
@@Class777 pretty much all the time 172s on the Hereford to Birmingham new streets
Rarely a 170
@@jordantrainsuk8608 Oh, right. I might consider going on the Pendolino Piccadilly route instead then.
It's now rarely a 172 since I saw more than just a pair of 196's on the Birmingham-Hereford route now.
The 172's still operate on this line but only for 3 coaches.
