Damnit...I'm possibly one of the biggest Alstom fanboys in the world, and this still made me P myself in hysterics! 🤣👍 Though in (fanboyesque) fairness: If FGW had bothered to maintain them properly... 🚄💯😉
Both the 175 & 180s (same train pretty much as they were part of the same order with First) were plagued with reliability issues when new the 175s whilst reliable now are suffering from corrosion issues the 180s are still suffering with issues now. I find the 175s much more comfier and quieter than a 185 which is one of the Coradia 1000s strong points, if Alstom had managed to sort the problems out before service I think more would have been built as they do have a really nice layout
I know always thought the curvy front on these was hideous and I still think it is in fact I think it looks better under the grand central livery. Its funny how he can say its the safest train in the world when there is a pendolino in the background which already is brilliant. The class 180 stands no chance against a class 43 hst the hsts were much better than the crappy class 180s which are dangerous grockles.
I'm not going to go anywhere near the reputation the Adelante gained in service, but what I can't get was what on earth fGW were thinking ordering 5-car DMUs for services that were ordinarily operated using HSTs with *eight entire cars* to them? 😲 And they wondered why people complained about having to stand... 😼
DigitalSciGuy All 14 to have ever existed do exist. Now they have the 800 which can do 140 and has an electric mode so they don’t have to use as much fuel. Two operators have them and one wants to get rid of them.
Um, these were all built in 2002 - it's an old video you see so the trains aren't actually new now! First Great Western got rid of them in 2007/2008 because they were so unreliable! They got some back in 2012 but now they're going again! Fourteen were ordered.
I wonder what sound levels will be like inside the carriages? I look forward to travelling in one to see how much engine noise can be heard inside. One thing i liked about loco hauled trains was the low noise level in the passengers areas.
The Class 800 cannot use its 140MPH top speed thanks to the ECML Limit of 125MPH. (I talk about the ECML because the only Class 180s operate on the East Coast.
A person might expect a fire extinguisher or two or a first aid kit as well as safety systems to stop the train. along with a bitter coffee and a pre packed sandwich curling at the corners FFS what's new!

At the time, perhaps... 😏 Now being frantically passed-off by Hell Trains as quickly as they can shear them off before Grand Central realise just what they've let themselves in for... 😉
I love how they a bragging about how it will be reliable yet 20 years later, they are still suffering from problems!
“Reliability is what the Adelantes have been designed for”
Alstom: lol
😂

alstom be like: "haha, we didnt make these for reliability! we made them for paul tyreman!"
Very nice trains these. Brakes are the noisiest in the world but still cool :P
180s now operated by Grand Central and EMR
missed opportunity to use Sash - Adelante as the soundtrack
Seems like the track they use for some of the scenes sound simlar
@@kylethemadman1 they did use it - 7:32

Due to poor punctuation this is hard to understand but are you saying the TPE 185s are Alston? Because they are not, they are Siemens Desiro.
"Class 175 have corrosion issues"
*175 runs on the coast
TFW: why are our trains rusting to death?!?!?!?
@@ILikeTransport only just seen this but I knew that the 185s are a Siemens’s product not Alstom
@@N00N01 salty air dosent help that one bit
And they were so good they didn't order any more of them ...
Did they ever fix the engine problems on these?
no

How have these units held up over time?
Badly

Which one wants to get rid of them? Im assuming Hull Trains because why not? (I mean GC are refurbishing them)
They haven’t…
@@NaenaeGamingSeems GC wants rid now too
How many other units are on order?
Nice though they are I bet they cost a pretty penny.

14 units were made and currently Grand Central has 10 and Hull trains has 4.
@@QuarioQuario54321 now all 4 of Hull trains' adelante have transferred to East Midlands Railway
@@nationalrail8639 The 14 Class 180 sets was built between 2000 and 2001.
Seen it elsewhere on youtube
These look similar to our Class 22000s here in Ireland
i guess i see it
but 22000 > adelante

..they've been around for years and are good apart, perhaps, from a reliability issue?..
800 is better anyway. It tan go 140 and has electric power.
The Class 800 cannot use its 140MPH top speed thanks to the ECML Limit of 125MPH. (I talk about the ECML because the only Class 180s operate on the East Coast.
@@NaenaeGaming The ECML has not been upgraded for 140 yet anyway so the track is not suitable and also 800s operate GWR too, not just ECML.
@I like Transport “The only *Class 180s* operate on the East Coast”
Why would a train need shaver sockets?
You'll be going nowhere so you might need a shave
can't believe he pronounced espresso ex-presso 🤯🤯
I thought their was going to be someone in the toilet at 10.37. 😂
I watched a YTP of this
So how reliable are the toilets in these rakes? I’ve heard they overflow even with a toddler’s shit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Standard
I heard a tone abt 13:20

To be fair its a lot better than the current offering, its really gone down hill recently.
Reliability? We’ll see about that…
