TRIP REPORT | Hull Trains Class 180 | Brough to London | First Class

Hull Trains has had a troubled few years operating the notoriously unreliable Class 180. In 2018 the rail operator made headlines for having no working trains at all, on various dates throughout the year.
To remedy this Hull Trains has leased in two ex-GWR HST's and has brand new Hitachi trains arriving Q419/Q120.
In the meantime however, I test out their service in this trip report from Brough, East Yorkshire to London Kings Cross. Find out how it went!
Equipment used:
Go Pro Hero 7 Black: amzn.to/2HokxMN
Go Pro Shorty Mini Extension Pole with Tripod: amzn.to/2TN5q6s

    The 222s would have been a nice train to keep, but looking forward to HT restarting with the 802s - I'm guessing you're still awaiting your trip too.

    if you didn't know already Grand Central Trains still have the class 180s and once I tried to book a train from London to York and it was cancelled because it broke down getting to London, so I had to get an LNER train instead, and there is no news if Grand Central Trains are replacing their 180s any time soon, Also great video :)

    Thanks for watching and agree! I can’t imagine how the new operator of those trains will get on with them..

    Slight correction, I think all the 180s have been moved to East Midlands Railway not Grand Central. The 802s look great though.

    The 4 Hull Trains Class 180s we’re moved to EMR, with GC’s Fleet of 10 Class 180s staying as they are currently.

    The 802s will sort things. Kings Cross to Grantham in 60 mins is great.

    I agree. All I hear nowadays whenever I go to brough,hull or Doncaster all I hear is "HULL TRAINS APOLOGISES FOR THIS DELAY AND ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED" Also I think the shortage of trains recently has been a problem with the fire and the HST and stuff

    I couldn’t agree more..I can only put this move down to a lack of available alternative rolling stock..I have every sympathy with whoever gets these units as they have been nothing but trouble since we got them

    @@sydwoods9686 Thankfully, EMR are sorting a lot of these problems out. A look and the Wikipedia page for EMR shows when the new trains are coming into service and the 153s are nearly all gone and the 180s won't be around for very long.
