Excellent and enjoyable. Good captions. Thanks.

These electrics can certainly eat up the miles with their speed

That's Platform 3 at Norwich. Platform 5 has the Middle Siding between it and Platform 4. The arriving DBSO is arriving into Platform 2.

I agree. I have ridden twenty one Class 86s and twenty one Class 90s on official duties, on the Great Eastern Mainline.

This is a Class 86. And you have infringed copyright from a commercial video. Legal proceedings could follow not to mention reporting to KZread.

Cor that was certainly motoring! Do you know what the max speed this units where capable of? Great watch and thanks for uploading.🤓

Class 86s have a maximum permitted speed of 100 mph however, the three members of the Class 86/1s (86 101 to 86 103) were uprated from 4,040hp to 5,000hp and fitted with Bracknell Willis High Speed pantographs. This gave them 110 mph capability. The Great Eastern Main Line (from Norwich) has a maximum line speed of 100 mph regardless.

@edwardbarnes2702. My pleasure the first section of 100 mph can be seen by the 'cut out' style sign, displaying 100 on the left hand side of the track at 5:39 in the video. This applies to the slow through Ipswich Tunnel, and the 60 mph across Manningtree River Bridge. It is then 100 mph to just north of Chelmsford (called New Hall, where the A12 road comes closely alongside) then 90 mph to Shenfield. Until the overhead line was upgraded, Class 86s were limited to 80 mph between Shenfield and Bethnal Green due to power draw / voltage drop. Then 40 mph down Bethnal Green Bank, and 15 mph at the throat of Liverpool Street. Stop at the bufferstops. Job done. I have cabridden 21 x Class 86s and 21 x Class 90s on this route. Plus a Class 66 from North Walsham to Harwich. Plus 170s. But my total cabrides include Canada, Portugal, Spain, France, Austria, Hungary and Italy. Plus over 350 in Blighty from Thurso to the West Country. 37s Edinburgh to Fort William. 67s Edinburgh to Inverness and to Aberdeen. 57s Crewe to Holyhead, and loads more. And getting paid to do it. Dreadful job. You would not like it.

Maybe RonsGardenRailway should consider taking lessons in English. As the spelling and punctuation is atrocious! Nevertheless. Thanks for the video. Great memories.
