A good review video 🙂👍🏽 A couple of points, the County for Crewe is Cheshire not Chestershire and the Pendolino did not replace the APT, as the APT models built were prototypes and they never entered proper main line service as production units and the APT prototypes were withdrawn in 1985/86 and Pendolino’s did not arrive here until around 2004/2005 🙂👍🏽
Ah I knew something was up when I said that I thought it was chestershire well that’s for the correction and the apt I thought it entered proper service
@@elijah_trains no worries 😎👍🏽 Sadly, the APT project was scrapped by Margaret Thatcher’s Government in 1984/85 who refused to put anymore money into the project, which had already been running since the early 1970’s. The saddest part was it just needed a bit more time and investment to iron out a few technical issues and it would have been ready for a production fleet of APT’s. The APT concept was a completely brand new design for British Rail, unlike anything they had built or designed before it, so it took a lot of time and money after the APT-E (Experimental version in the 1970’s) to create a small fleet of prototypes - the APT-P - one of which you rightly mentioned now sits at Crewe heritage centre as a static exhibit/display 🙂👍🏽
@@elijah_trains yes I’d have loved to see the production APT in full service 🙂👍🏽 I did see it when it was being tested at London Euston and Stafford in 1984 and the prototype APT’s did do some passenger carrying runs between London Euston and Glasgow (I think the APT still holds the fastest journey time Northbound between London Euston and Glasgow?) sadly, they never entered full service and the tilting technology was sold off to Italy who developed it further and ended up selling us back the technology for the end product…the Pendolino
Nah i only reviews like this because my audio wasn’t working for most of the trip so i had to blast music and I’ve seen worse reviews and go check my other reviews as this is my worse performance I’ve ever done
Wym it’s the “worse train review I ever seen” I’ve seen worser where people doesn’t actually explain anything or explore the station in context he also said in The video the audio is very bad but he actually explain. Everything about the class 800 and what’s good about it and whats not. Also go check his other reviews if your going to say “your talent is somewhere else” he actually explains the train into bit more context
Its a unique train along with the 807
Yeah it truly is the best class 800

@@ejc7129 ohh that makes sense now imagine if they were still in service

@@ejc7129 ah yeah that makes sense now
I'm sorry to have to say this must be the worst train review I've ever seen, I really think your talents must lie elsewhere.

What was bad about it?
