- 🚄 Now for a bumper edition of Motive Power Profiles! 🚄
🚆 Born originally out of the Thameslink Programme, the Class 700 first graced London's metals in 2016. The Class 707 followed shortly afterwards, before the Class 717s completed the set. 170 units later, we cover each class in detail in this video!
😉 For those wondering, yes, we cover the ironing board seats! 😉

👉Are you a fan of the Class 700+ fleet? Or are you not so keen? Comment below! 👇
Tremendous video, Nick❗️ It was incredibly factual and well presented. Great to see some of my footage in there too😁👍
Thanks again Boom! Some great contributions from you in this one 👊
@TrainsOnTheBrain at 8:44 you see 2 Desiro trainsets 1 is the Desiro City Class 707 for the SouthWesternRailway/SouthEastern Franchise and a Desiro ML class 4744/4746 branded as Cityjet for the S-Bahn Wien franchise from the ÖBB
Huge upgrade for whom - certainly not from a passenger point of view !
Ironing board seat, no coat / jacket hooks, very little leg/knee room and when someone sits next to you they are on your lap.
This is a train designed by someone who has never used nor uses the train.
I have a feeling this video might divide some opinion! I do cover the seating - think many people will agree with you on that one.
It's a commuter train!
I don’t know wether you are aware but the Thameslink services to Maidstone East are not happening due to both the pandemic & lack of capacity within the Thameslink core area. Also the 707 fleet we’re going to run on the Tunbridge Wells services until it was discovered that they have no toilets.
Meanwhile at Waterloo: another 707 on the reading service
the 707's and 700's would be good for hs1 as they have long carridges as the class 395 for their 6 or 12 carridges
Very nice video
Glad you like it, thanks for watching! 👍
Another great & detailed video, Nick - sorry I couldn't be there for the premiere! Happy to be able to help in terms of footage here and there. A video on other Siemens rolling stock across the UK as a whole would be really interesting, too.
Thanks again Seb! Definitely up for a video on the wider fleet - going to start shooting as early as tomorrow on my morning commute of all things!
This video was well explained and informative here, was wondering if you can cover the Aventra classes once the C2C and SWR go into service?
Sounds like a great idea!
thank you,, very interesting.
Thanks very much Keith, hope you’re keeping well!
With the Desiros, one class which is rather notable is the class 360's of East Midlands Railway. These were cascaded from Greater Anglia when they got there class 720's from Bombardier
Indeed. I wanted to mention loads of different classes in that little section - was trying to keep the length down but I think a video on the wider range is definitely on the cards!
Govia GTR which is basically owned by Go ahead which use to own South Eastern and many bus companies like Go North east and another company called Go South Coast which many other companies like Bluestar, Unilink, More bus, Southern Vectis and many more
Thanks Bluestar. They've got their fingers in many pies!
@@trainsonthebrain yes they have
Wow loving these Train Profile videos.
Thanks again El Nido! I was really pleased with how this one turned out even though it didn’t pick up as many views originally. Quite fond of all the units even though they get a mixed reception!
i was on a 700002 from brighton to bedford i think on the 6/6/2022 :)
Had a couple of friendly toots from that one before! 😃
Can't wait for this!
Hope you enjoy it! 👍
Superb video Nick, very interesting and informative 👍
👊
Seen the cab of a sim of it but not the passenger compartment
Fun review... The cab shape reminds me of the GE 70 class freight locomotive.
Thanks Calvin, glad you enjoyed it. A good resemblance I agree!
Siemens could of also manufactured the Class 7xx Desiro City EMUs for Southern to replace the Class 455 and Class 313. And with Southeastern who are getting the Class 707s from South Western Railway as their Class 701 Arterio Aventra EMUs are due to enter service some time next year. And some of the Class 707s have been refurbished with the new "City Beam" name and Southeastern livery.
Sorry for being late! Anyways nice video agin! 😁
Thanks Adam, hope all’s well 👍
@@trainsonthebrain You too.
Brilliant, really informative video! Did you know that Thameslink is currently consulting on a peak time service from Welwyn Garden City to Sevenoaks?
The Thameslink tale takes another turn! Thanks CSM 👊
👍👍
Nice one nick
Cheers Scott.
@@trainsonthebrain anytime
0:30 there is a 465 with a 707
Loved the video! I do kinda wish SWR kept them as I really love the red livery but a great video overall!! 😛😄
Still a few on the SWR now, still a chance to grab them before they move to their new homes 😃
Great Video - Can you do an Electrostar video at one point, might be easier to get footage from London than up North.
Think demand for this one is increasing! Thanks again CPT 👍
Could you also do a video on the elecrtostar fleet?
A few requests for an Electrostar one now! Be rude not to at this point. Thanks for watching!
Great video Nick!! Very informative!! Personally I hate these things but some people love them!! Oh well!! very informative!!
You’re not the only one Jacob, but of love/hate relationship with these units for most people! Thanks for your support as always 😃
Great video! Anyone know why they make that sound? I always think they sound like a UFO when accelerating 🛸
Thanks Joey! They really do sound a bit like something from outer space - think it’s a common feature across the Siemens built units. Maybe there’s something they haven’t been telling us about some of their technology…
Could you maybe do another video of the other desiros in the uk
Thanks Sean! Defo on my to do list 👍
Thames link is like crossrail North to South with out tfl go out london?
Pretty much 😁
Fine video. These trains are so dreadfully uncomfortable. The Fainsa Comrail seats are totally unfit for purpose. When Transport for Wales discovered that the new fleet of class 197 DMU's had been ordered by the former franchise holder with these dreadful Fainsa Comrail seats, they have spent £1.9m to allow the specification to be changed to Fainsa Sophia seats. TfW are putting the customer first.
Thanks for watching Ted. Seems amazing that having already spent about £6billion on the Thameslink Programme that they couldn’t find any extra pennies to get the seating right. Also the lack of wifi on board such a new train seems really strange to me. Wonder if eventually there will be a big refit of some kind.
Could you do the Hitachi A trains next?
That's a super idea ZLD. I only have a limited amount of footage of them presently but am definitely looking to get some more in the can - need to spend more time on the LNER and GWR networks for starters. This gives me a good excuse!
@@trainsonthebrain including 385 and metro trams? (AT200, AT100)
This is just a idea, how about you make a video of your top 10 favourite steam train?
Hi Connor! Funny you should mention this as I've got some Top 10-related videos in the pipeline featuring steam traction. In the middle of collecting assets for them 👍 If did a similar feature a while ago on the Top Ten BR Standards and it's one of my favourites that I've put out so far!
You have permission to use my clips from my channel 😃
Hi Lord Everything - What's the best email address to get you on? Mine is in my channel description, let's take this chat there 👊
@@trainsonthebrain OK
@@trainsonthebrain tbh I deleted most of my clips off of my phone now, so I probably can't anyway
I just call them "Desiro Shitties" as I hate them so much because of ironing boards and replacing good trains
Poor things! How dare you 🥲
Desiros are better
All Desiros are good Desiros 😊
