I'm new to learning about trains in the UK and was curious what's the difference between the voyager and super voyager
@Tornado922

The voyager is a 4 car DMU and the Super Voyager is a 5 car DMU that is capable of taking corners at a higher speed because it can tilt like the Pendolino

The Bombardier Voyager family (Classes 220, 221 and 222) are actually DEMUs; the Diesel engines act as generators for electric motors that provide the traction. There are DMUs (with conventional hydraulic transmissions instead of electric motors) that use the same engines (Cummins QSK19) directly, however. The Alstom Class 180 Adelante and the Siemens Class 185 Desiro. The former is notable for being the only 125mph diesel-hydraulic DMU.
Excellent video a large variety of trains here. What is your next station?

When you are on a platform filming trains, do you tell a member of staff or something you are there or do you not need to?

+Louis Finlayson It depends on the station that you go to. For stations close to London I always ask for permission first, but most other stations I just start filming. Usually I'm in full view of the station staff so they can see what I'm doing

Have a pretty dim view of this station. It is too dingy, platforms are too small and I got lost one time when I actually got out of the station in the pouring rain. That was my impression of Birmingham.

Thats the unfortunate truth about Birmingham New Street, becuase it's so busy its very easy to get lost in the station. I know what you mean about the platforms being to small. When i got off my train i had to fight through a crowd of people

Technically, all the Class 220 Voyagers and 221 Super Voyagers are owned by HSBC. Both fleets were operated by Virgin West Coast and Virgin Crosscountry, but the 2007 franchise changes saw Arriva Crosscountry getting all of the 220's and around half of the 221 fleet, while the other half of the 221's stayed with Virgin West Coast.

I've heard the pollution levels at New Street are hazardous because of all the DMU's belching out fumes in what is essentially an underground station, way too many diesels running under the wires.

I wouldn't have ever thought they were hazardous in all honesty. A lot of the diesel trains join the electrified section of the line just outside the station.
