It's All About The Journey

A trainspotter and London enthusiast. I love to explore.
I strongly believe that anyone passionate about trains and railways should be able to watch railway-related content without difficulty. That's why my videos are dyslexia-friendly, composed in clear British English, and suitable for all audiences.

    SWR have only stated so far that these units will be used on Weybridge services and Twickenham loop services. It's possible that they may turn up on these routes in the future but I don't believe any will run on the Shepperton branch at the moment.

    These units were actually refurbished with the intention of using them on Waterloo - Portsmouth Hbr fast services,hence the 100mph max.speed.Don't yet know if that's still the intention.

    SWR announced just a few months back that these services will not be used on Portsmouth services, and will remain on London suburban services for the moment to supplement the 701s as they are introduced.

    Nice video! I can't wait to board one of these myself! The doors on these units open and close really fast, so they're much better for time-keeping on stopping services via Chertsey than 450s but it's got a cosy long-distance interior!

    £800 isn't too bad for a one way fare - booked almost a year in advance. You can get one way fares for as little as £400 one way with some Chinese airlines.

    The GWR 802 was running driver familiarisation runs between the GWML and London Euston. Euston may become a diversionary route for GWR when the Old Oak Common area is closed due to HS2 works.

    807s are in testing at the moment, but I'm not sure if there are any that are painted into the Avanti colours just yet. I think it'll be a while, but maybe they'll be in service by the end of the year.

    Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm surprised you've heard so many negative reviews about JAL. On my 20+ JAL flights within the past few years, I've found very little to complain about (and I'm quite hard to please!) Sure, their First and Business class products don't stand out above the rest (particularly on B777/787, but the A350-1000 soon to be introduced on the London route looks to change this) and perhaps the Economy fares are a little pricey, but nobody travels with JAL because they're cheapest option. You're in for a treat on your flight!

    I'm not a travel agent, nor do I claim to know much about visa requirements.

I'd recommend looking on the Belgian or Jordanian authorities' website for more reliable information though - hope this helps!
