I think it's time I shed a little light on this channel since I've just hit 1,000 subscribers. I created this channels' first video; "Little Dark Age - British Transport" during an extremely dark period of my life- it was my intention to have one last kick at the hornets' nest publicly before I shuffled from this mortal coil. With help from the positive reaction this community has had to my creations, i went on to create my next video; "pov: you work for RAILTRACK". Since then, though I've not been able to completely shed myself of the various things getting me down, I've managed to hang on in- and as such you've seen multiple creations since then. The era of my finding HD sources for the inclusion in my various clips here has ended, but the era of British Rail shall never end- and hopefully my uploads will follow in that same ilk. Thank you all for joining me on this journey, and as TFL currently says; "Every Journey Matters".

The queen supporting the trains is great

I'll be honest, as a non-UK resident, I'm extremely sad that I might never see these beauties in service ever in my life. They are what made me fall in love with British trains and electric trains in general.

@@BritishitRailPostinghey it's given me some amusement on this random evening, and I have enjoyed your videos (well, besides RAILTRACK maybe) and they make me weirdly emotional (in a good way). I love that you've gotten around to the 225, ever since LNER repainted them I've been chasing them down trying to (badly) photograph them all, and have by now done the entire KGX → Leeds route, albeit not in a single run (yet?)

My RAILTRACK video is still one of my favourites! However, that meme-y format is one that I and this channel have long moved on from- I just didn't find it a gratifying format to edit in. Just a week ago I had the privilege of riding on a 225 for the very first time, and a week before that had the privilege of having my breath taken away from me by one speeding past at just over 100mph. The Class 313s might still have my heart since they're the BR-era stock I grew up around, but the 225s certainly stand as the most awe inspiring bit of rolling stock I've ever, ever seen.@@ohpurpled

Its given me a sense of nostalgia and hope As an American that We can get our shit together and fix our damn rail network and electrify it and improve upon the services we have with Amtrak and Nationalize the four freight rail companies holding this American dream hostage, which we used to have as a reality before WWII. Which was taken away from us..

Not even joking, saw this when I woke up at half six ish this morning. Immediately felt a rush of adrenaline upon seeing those beautiful 225 sets I rushed to London and im writing this on my way back from York in one of LNER’s last remaining sets. As rail staff, I often find myself going on trips out less and less so thank you for inspiring me to take a trip on a train I may not be able to travel on soon 🙂 much love

@@BritishitRailPosting indeed, it will certainly mark the end of an era when the electras are finally phased out. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened :)

Everytime this guy posts I genuinely get excited. The last time I was getting excited for YT uploads was when I was 12 and watching Dennis Daily.

Great video alot of people have similar nostalgia in NZ for the old NZR (NZ Government Railways) era, like people do for British rail

The quality of these videos are amazing

Great compilation on the 225! Keep'em coming.

This. Is. Amazing. Perfectly executed, music matches well, footage is great! It really is a good day when you post!! Dont stop, cant wait for the next one!

Yet another beautiful video!

What’s more depressing is that the class 91 was designed for both passenger and freight use and BR were expecting to produce more I believe they even had a tilting variant for the west coast mainline as well on the cards

This sheds a tear, absolutely phenomenal video!

Absolutely amazing! Bringing back memories of better times! Keep up the good work and congrats on reaching 1k subs!

Beautiful video, as always.

An idea, since the 455s will be going soon, perhaps a video on them? They've served since BR days, and are finally coming to end soon, need to go on the BR blue one if it enters service.

I would LOVE to do a video on the various DMUs and EMUs that were based on the Mk.3 coach platform- unfortunately the video sources for these are *extremely* scant. As we speak I'm in the process of downloading source material for a video like this, but like I said, they're so scant that I simply can't grab sources that enable me to go and focus on a class as specific and "niche" as this.

GREAT BRITISH RAIL WILL RETURN. VOTE LABOUR!

When i see a mk 4 i can only think of Birmingham

I'll be riding a 225 quite soon. Gorgeous train.

You'll enjoy it! The age and lack of maintenance on them means they're certainly more squeaky than current stock, but they're infinitely more comfortable, and when they pass you on a platform going full chat.. there's simply nothing that compares.

It's jaw dropping just how superior they are to ride compared to Azumas. Every time I see one coming in the distance I make sure to get close to the edge of the platform. Nothing moves through the air and takes your breath away like a 225 does.@@hotelmario510

They should really fit at least one of these with the new signaling equipment to do a swansong service at full speed.

Sadly it'll never get that far- it's been quite miraculous watching 225 go from a rather unloved bit of kit to now heading up the BR throwbacks on the rails.
