@@ChineseJohnCena I don’t know what one year ago me thought, but probably because they’re old and until recently, ran on routes that they shouldn’t have
Crazy how the front looks different to the back and one side has bigger cab space
Wow! I can’t believe these very small commuter trains are actually skipping stations!
Empty request stops with a max speed of 75mph
@@declangaming24 no they would happily go through non request stops on the lowestoft to Norwich line before replacement
Miss these. Travelled on them on the Eastern line Doncaster - Peterborough. Small but amazing trains these were.
I clocked obe of these at 83mph between Whitland and Carmarthen, unreal.
I can't resist singing "All by myself"
1:13 this part kind of confuse my brain because it looks like it head PS2 graphics.
Those trains are so cute I go on one nearly every day! To school on the heart of Wales from llandrindod to dolau oh and GREAT VIDEO
diolch! Gwnes i aros yn Llandrindod mis diwethaf
i love these cute trains
I miss the 1 car trains!
there's still a few about, the Coryton - Cardiff Bay, Heart of Wales and Crewe - Shrewsbury all still get 1 car formations
The class 153 is 76 feet long, slightly bigger than a 69 foot long class 40 diesel locomotive.
i like the engine sound and the prime mover same as MCW 302 (Cummins NT855-R5) from Nippon Sharyo
Great video
Thanks!
Great Video 👍
WHY IS THERE A 170 OR SMTH ATTACHED TO 153S???
That wrecked paint of a class 156 and a 153 coupled together

I find them very awkward when they pass stations at top speed as a single car
Yea, it looks strange
yea it does but it looks cool aswell
Thank god these are gone from my local lines, these were absolutely awful to ride on...
Great video. Where were you at 6:30?
Somerlayton Swing Bridge
thetransporthub thanks
I love these little trains, sad they are going soon though
there are now planned end dates for the Heart of Wales or West Highland ones
@@thetransporthub do you know if there will be one in a museum?
My special needs son hopes that they'll move on to a different operation like a heritage railway or museum.
Where is the exhaust?
The single pipe exhaust stack runs up through the bodywork at the No.2 end (small cab end) behind the luggage rack/cycle stowage area, moved when they were converted from 155s
Have been cooped up on one of those things from Derby to Skegness before. Not fun.
Why does this train only have a carriage
1:19 class 155
Nope. Look. 2 153s joined together
I have a question at 1:14 is that a flat crossing
yep that's Newark flat crossing
Don’t they have a nick name isn’t it the super sprinter or something
153s have the nickname dogbox
thetransporthub the hell what type of nickname
Because the small end cab is so tiny
thetransporthub oh wait your still awake it’s 4:42 am for me (eastern USA)
0945 here in the UK
Wow. Great video, but I don’t really like the 153’s
Why not?
Just asking
