found an amazing video of a 47 up the ecml in 1985 on youtube, if this is a copyrighted video, pls delete admin, i have been looking for this video for years i would to buy it on dvd if thats possible

Im sure i read somewhere that the express sprinters were somehow related to the MK4 coach, but i can't find anything, (Google is not my friend) is this another case of mistaken memory?

i hope so, it ruins these units, the first class looks lovely!

I know its probably not going to happen, but in the tradition of "what if" threads on here with regard to rolling stock, I wonder would any open access operator ever find use for the 91's and MK4 sets once they become available

wow best class 91 vids ive seen, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChV5h7_XtvPb9Xsb3GwiGjA thanks to avocet1989

Practicing for when northern (or TPE) get hold of them, (i know it isn't going to happen, just thought i would join in, somebody on this forum had to say it)

recorded for posterity, if anybody else wants to know how to save these vids pm me and i will walk you through it

I dont mind the 333's ive used them a lot over the years, certainly miles better than the 308's they replaced, and also loads better than the dmu's im forced to use on the calder valley line, i also like the 321's and 322's that have been appearing around the aire/wharfe valley's

Being a Shipley lad i am also curious, Just waiting for the Telegraph and argus (or other sources) to elaborate.

Just read this hope the worker involved is not seriously injured http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/14174277.Rail_worker_attacked_at_station_in_Bradford/?ref=mr&lp=3

The leading class 20, (didnt get the number, wish i would have had more time but alas my train appeared) i saw at Bradford Interchange last week was filthy, although the 20 at the rear was clean as a whistle

A couple of shots of the RHTT in Bradford Interchange this evening, (21:45ish 27th Oct 2015) apologies on the quality https://www.flickr.com/photos/135051946@N08/

Sowerby Bridge is another, the Northern automated sytem pronounces it as Sour-bi bridge where its actually Sore-bi bridge

I travel between Halifax and Shipley at least three times a week and it would be so much easier if i didnt have to walk from Bradford interchange to Forster Square and vice versa, its sometimes easier to get a bus from the Interchange to Shipley, but that costs more

this video shows the uk record now stands at 208mph for a Eurostar on HS1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yazdjabPxKY EDIT: This was in 2003 so it could have been beaten
