    Yo never stop doing what you obvs love doing bro. Mans envious of how enthusiastic you are about something. I didn't understand how you could be excited about trains but I did appreciate the blue train and how smart and clean it looks. Never seen a train spotter before. But your channel is really cool and I felt that pain when the blue 707 didn't turn up at the beginning

    The train itself looks hideous at the front but in southeastern livery it looks FANTASTIC. The colours and shapes blend together perfectly

    I’ve had this hunt ever since I first saw them in February on test. They operate on 5Q headcodes services, so every Friday Morning on Real-time Trains, the next weeks services are out, I often look to see when they are running.

    Even though I’m not a fan of 707s, the new livery looks absolutely great. I don’t rlly mind that some 465s go even though they are decent trains and I’ve been on 465s. I would like to try the 707s when SE puts them in service.

    Glad I’m not the only one who gets ridiculously excited about trains in new liveries 😄 Saw one about a week ago on my way down to Hastings and agree that it looks splendid. Shame we won’t have them on services down here (Hastings/Bexhill). Enjoyed your video Nathan & will subscribe.

    • @networknathan

  • @TPhype-Discovery
    @TPhype-Discovery Před 3 lety +1

    You're most likely to see these trains anywhere between New Cross and Grove Park station, as I saw one at New Cross. You can also see them on the line from Hither Green to Gravesend. They look quite good in my opinion.

    • @CPTrains
      @CPTrains Před 3 lety +1

      They don’t run too often down the Sidcup Line, in average once a week, as opposed to about 15 services between New Cross and Grove Park per week.

    I’ve had the same frustrations trying to get a GWR 769 on test… I’ve still had no luck getting it… as whenever I go out for it - it’s listed on RTT but doesn’t run 🙄 I’m keen to see the Southeastern 707 (I’ve got them on my channel operating for SWR but I’ll probably wait until they have a couple more in blue as I live a bit too far away to chance it - but next time I’m in London I’ll be looking out for it!). Great video - I’ve subscribed 🙂

    • @networknathan
      @networknathan  Před 3 lety +2

      not from knowledge no. I wouldn’t see the point of doing that as they would be limited to running as 1x 6 carriage unit instead of 2x 5 carriage units as a lot of the platforms for southeastern, where the 707 would run, can’t accommodate 12 carriages (most max out at 10 carriage capacity)

    Southeastern said these 707s would be replacing the 465s on metro lines so why is the one at New Cross saying its going to Gillingham? Isn't that a mainline 375 route?

    • @networknathan
      @networknathan  Před 3 lety

      I thought that aswell. Even though they’re doing testing it’s says Gillingham which, as you said, is not a planned route for these 707s.
      I’m assuming they uploaded their whole southeastern announcement software onto the trains when testing and set it to Gillingham just to try it out 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I think that the Class 707s are mainly going to operate on the Dartford Loop Line, Hayes Line and to Orpington and Sevenoaks but yes the new Southeastern blue livery on the Class 707s are very nice. And perhaps Southeastern should cascade the Class 376s to Southern to replace the Class 455.

    • @Andrewjg_89
      @Andrewjg_89 Před 3 lety

      @London Transport Enthusiast Indeed. Southeastern should keep the Class 465s and Class 466s but to cascade the Class 376s to Southern. So that Southern can get rid of the Class 455s and Class 313s.
