How a 125 m/h (200 km/h), 9-car Super Voyager destroys the tranquility of Northallerton - Fly-by -

Except áll those 125 m/h trains that fly through Northallerton, what I love so much about the station is the tranquility in between: The birds chirping, and above all the classic music played constantly between station announcements.
These two aspects of the station however make for a extreme contrast with one another, as the music plays on and the birds keep chirping right through the upcoming storm that is any of the 125 m/h or 200 km/h services that make way through the station.
For today; one of the more spectacular ones, as the 9-car Cross Country (Super) Voyager DEMU sets come crashing down at us. The Voyager is actually one of the last full diesel powered sets to be seen flying through under the wires at Northallerton on the ECML. The set is however here to stay for a while, unlike the older HST sets still operated by XC... Enjoy those while you can, as they'll be retired in October this year!
For now, I hope you enjoy! 🍀

    As another American, be glad you actually have trains that can take you to a smaller village. That does not exist here. And if you want a train to a big city? Best of luck dealing with the catastrophe known as "Amtrak". Like the OP said, it is cars or nothing here... And the train is electric! The highway would have you breathing some nice diesel exhaust along with the constant noise.

    As another American, you guys have a decent higher-speed rail. We don’t. We have the Acela (if you live in the Northeast) or Brightline (Florida or Nevada). HSR is not coming to America any time soon, and the California HSR program is working at a snail’s pace. Sure, that train was diesel, but at least you guys have the capacity to be electric. America doesn’t have the luxury, only if you live along corridor services.

    ⁠The Hitachi train sets used in England for overland high speed rail use diesel electric, batteries, and overhead electrical. This allows them to serve areas there isn’t overhead wiring. I rode a train from Oxford to the London last week; the Oxford branch isn’t electrified, but after the first stop on the main to London, you could clearly hear the pantographs go up, and the diesels stayed at idle while at high speed to Paddington station. As an American, the rail system in England is amazingly efficient, both overland and the tube system which I know very well now. We are very behind in our infrastructure in America. Although we did pass a coal fired electrical plant at one point.

    What I don't understand is this: Why, if you like the chirping of the birds so much (like I do!) do you stand on a platform of a high speed rail line? It seems to me that If you want to board a train, or enjoy the sound and feeling of a high speed train passing by (like many people do..) you choose to stand on a train platform, while if you want to enjoy the chirping of the birds you go for a walk in a park or a nature reserve?

    Honestly I love both, and the absurd contrast that is born as soon as the two intertwine. Obviously I love high speed (diesel) rail, as I came all the way from The Netherlands to Sheffield, and making a day out of it to visit Northallerton station a good 2 hours, single journey, away from Sheffield!

    American here. I think cross country train travel is a waste of government money since nobody rides it and the large town are pretty far apart in the Midwest, but in the big cities and the coasts light rail and fast, reliable train services is exactly what we need. Like a fast train from Seattle to Portland or fast rail in the Bay Area.

    That is effectively 9 individual units, each doing 125, joined together. Not particularly clever. Every coach has a throbbing motor under it which is why I personally hate travelling by Voyager. An HST achieved the same with two power units. Trouble was the archaic drop window opening often meant the sound proofing and air conditioning was ruined as they were rarely closed up again. Trying to get fuel consumption figures for locomotives and powered units is as difficult as the old adage “what does a London cab driver earn?”

    You do know that trains use little to no fuel in the UK when using diesel. Plus its not that easy to replace old rolling stock, cuz of money, route coverage, reliability, and some other things. Yes diesel does damage the planet, but cars produce more emissions per mile, whilst a train might not need to use its engines for a while as they can coast for miles. Also, what do you do on the unelecrified lines, we can't stick catenary all over it, the locals would kill network rail. That is why you can't replace stock which are designed to reach 125 just by diesel power.

    As stated by the second comment; the tilting capacities do not influence the maximum speed of the sets as far as I know, other than at corners allowing higher speeds for tilting trains, as found on the WCML! Pretty sure if you run the math on this passage you'll get a number eerily close to 200km/h / 125m/ph. ☺️
