10 Car Avanti West Coast Class 805 (no livery, featuring horn) | 16/05/2023

10 Car Avanti West Coast Class 805 (805001 and 805003 coupled into a 10-car formation). This was recorded at a station on the WCML as it travelled a test run from Glasgow Central. Managed to catch it heading back South.

Ooo, I like the 805

[@thatguyshawzy]

theres 0 difference between any of the trains from 800-805, the only difference in one of these is the class 810

[@TrainGuy_2008]

Can't wait to see these in service, when are they due, or is that not known yet? I'll be getting quite a lot of them.. living in Llandudno Junction! 😁
Great video and amazing two tone!

[@JakesTrainsUK]

Im still yet to see one of these but im very glad to know that they have the older IET horn

[@PK345Transport]

Nice video ive subscribed and got you on 100

[@RidTnB]

that train so fast class 805 getting soon

[@OffTheRailsUK]

So are the pendolinos

[@Spacebug111]

110mph 💀

[@ignaofficial1353]

No tilt meaning it will be no better than the loco hauled stock from the 1990's. Somebody at Avanti, DFT or Hitachi has Zero Brain Cells

[@rankedcitizen]

@@ignaofficial1353i mean it will be better as it accelerates faster than pendolinos when electrically powered and faster than voyagers even when under diesel power? So far the lack of tilt only adds an additional 7 minutes of scheduled journey time but this will be fixed as avanti are working with network rail to revert some of the 110 sections back to 125 for non tilt trains

[@Transpennine]

Can’t wait for these to be in service!
Are they just Replacing Voyagers or are they going to Glasgow and Edinburgh aswell?

[@TrainspottingGB]

To my knowledge they are being built to replace the voyagers. I know that there is one that goes to Glasgow Central each evening so will be exciting to see it!

[@Transpennine]

@@TrainspottingGB it will be very much so! I think I’ll go to Filnt or something to see some of these when they come out (go into service)

[@transport_dude]

@@TrainspottingGB wait are they gonna replace 390 or no? also are they coming to London euston too? if 390 stays ill be so happy for both

[@TrainspottingGB]

@@transport_dude They are replacing the class 220/221s. The 390s are staying. I think they have also been getting tested at Euston for the last couple of days.

[@transport_dude]

@@TrainspottingGB omg phew bcause 390 is my fave train and 350 my second fave and i do like voyagers an sadly have only one video of it as i dont see it very often

[@skullgeezer7174]

I’m so excited to see the Class 805 in service soon!

[@OffTheRailsUK]

We said that with the IETs on LNER and look how much we fucking hate it now

[@DENPTrains]

​@@OffTheRailsUK Nobody said that

[@thetrainhub390]

When does it come into service?

[@Transpennine]

@@OffTheRailsUK these are going to be different, I’d imagine these would have comfy seats and be more high quality than the Gwr ‘IET’ sets

[@Transpennine]

Also we don’t hate them? We may dislike a few features but every train has its faults (some bigger than others)

[@shihanthetrainspotter]

wait a minute does that mean the 805s will also be 10 car too to be hoenst they should becuase its not very good during rush hour times for when its 5 car becuase the train will also be crowded too and many people would have to stand up during rush hour times and if that train is very packed the 807s are much better because will be 7 coaches long and its longer than the 222 at a length of 182 meters long

[@TrainspottingGB]

I know that at (I think it’s 7) each night a 10 car Avanti voyager is up this way. I believe that those will be replacing that hence the crew needing training on the 805 5 and 10 car arrangements.

[@andrewreynolds4949]

A 5-car class 805 is about equal to a 6-car class 221, it's longer and has ~50 more seats

[@SCFR_Guest5]

How do you tell the difference between the class 801, the class 802 , the class 803 , the class 804 and the class 805?

[@TrainspottingGB]

Class 800 and 801s are run as LNER azumas. You cannot tell the difference by looking at them without the numbers but the class 800 can go into Bi-mode with diesel (running to places like Lincoln, Aberdeen or Harrogate which lack overhead wired) and electric whereas 801s only run on electric. 802s are always 5 cars long and are operated by GWR, TPE and Hull Trains. 803s are next up and there are run by Lumo.
805s are going to be operated by Avanti and are 5 cars long but can be joined to together to have a 10 car arrangement. 807s are avantis other class 80x they are getting that are going to be 7 cars long.
Finally 810 are the new hitachi trains for EMR but these vary a lot compared to the other hitachi 80x models hence the model being 810 instead of an 80x.

[@cbawitlife]

the 804 doesn't exist... yet.
because ditachi love milking the IETs, i don't think anyone would be surprised if they made the 804, or the 806, or even 808, perhaps 809 too? maybe even 811?

[@JakesTrainsUK]

So a 3rd 5 car IET... (I genuinely don't get why)

[@CheshireTrainspotter]

Out of all things to replace the voyagers they choose these disgusting things 💀💀💀

[@Mgameing123]

Lets just wait for how the seats are on the trains.
