The intercity 225 sets still feel quite modern in 2022

Nice review thanks. Just a correction. 225 km/h is 140 mph which is what those trains were designed for. However, line speed is limited to 125 mph or 200 km/h.

Ahhh thanks for letting me know that 🙂

Great video I'd personally still take an Azuma over an intercity 225 for other reasons, I prefer their first class seats over the ic225 ones, plus I find their ride quality to be a bit smoother than the ic225s and my ears don't pop (im kinda sensitive to that) when i go through a tunnel because of the pressurised cabins. But its just personal preference at the end of the day. I love the ic225s as well, I would take either of an ic125 anyday of the week. Keep up the good work, you'll be hitting 1000 soon!

Brilliant video I totally agree with you 225 are best trains and I miss hst lner use run up north up to Scotland

Great video Daniel. I think 225 sets are really good trains and they still keep them very safe 👍

To be honest they are better than the Azuma sets I recall also the class 89 being used with the mark 4 coaches and dvts to be honest the class 89 was on a par with the class 91 for performance and acceleration

Great video,

Is there any reason EMRs 158/159s look like SWR old livery

They were both ran by the same company (stagecoach) before they switched hands to EMR don't know if they'll repaint then though.

Is LNER still going to keep them or will they be sent for scrap. The Intercity 225 still lives on.

Apparently with the 2023 May timetable change they'll be sent for scraps, but I'm unsure on that, they are repainting a few Mk4 coaches though, which could mean they want to keep them for a few more years!

They're starting to repaint the 225 sets with a intercity/ azuma livery. With the time and money being spent on doing them I highly doubt they're getting rid of them.
