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
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.
Lovin you, your enthusiasm, and your videos. Always very interesting and upbeat presentation style, keep up the good work!!! Looking forward to next installment 😉😉😉👍👍💯
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.
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.
I’ve seen a few at Gillingham Depot! You should have a little look. Plus, I wonder if they add a pride/Trainbow livery!! That’ll look nice! Great video and love the enthusiasm :)
Nice.. Seen a few being kept at my local Train Depot in Gillingham, however they have all been in the South West Trains livery so far. Still keeping me eye out though.
I believe Gillingham is where the units will be receiving the livery (that’s where the first two 009 + 010 had their livery done), so you might see some soon.
I assume you live in the lewisham Borough? Basing this on the fact that your first station was ladywell..I could be wrong haha..if you'd do however, then I'm not too far lol, I'm In the southwark Borough.
Smashing video mate! Tip for you the 707s appear on Realtime Trains as 5Q's so always look out for 5Q's, keep up the great work in the meantime tho! 👍👍
I know this video is about trains but that speaker positioning is pretty bad, the higher frequencies will sound good to the invisible person sitting on the invisible wall-mounted chair mounted at the top of the opposite wall?
Looks fantastic, but I can't help think they're better off with SWR having commonalities with the Class 444/450. Southeastern and Southern should have got 701s.
Hi, I have watched your videos for a while now and I have enjoyed them, just wanted to let u know that I saw two blue southeastern 707's parked up at slade Green
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 🙂
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)
Themslink to people is basically just improvements to all of its stations, I disagree as Blackfriars’s still had some heritage left and the Brighton side of London Bridge was far more beautiful then the new station, I am not saying br architecture is beautiful but the old parts left in were
All Class 700/707s should be binned. They are horrible to ride on. The Electrostar units are much better. However, I will say the blue livery looks Wicked!
it’s a website that shows all services on the railways on a specified day and time. it’s quite good give it a try some TOCs on there show the exact stock of train running aswell which is sickkkkk
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?
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.
@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.
Nathan, you are so cool! Such a nice change from some of the rail types on YT

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

yeah, was just confused how to use it at first. very sick website icl

Great vid man. Love the enthousiasm haha, greetings from Belgium!
New to your channel, great stuff mate. Keep up the good work, brings a refreshing change to the world of trains. Subscribed. 👍
Welcome aboard! just more and more trains to come aha
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.
no honestly, would have loved to see them max out at 80mph on the fast lines down to Hastings.
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.
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.
Good to see a young person talking about trains. Nice content keep it up
POV: Southeastern inherit a fleet of trains from South Western Railway that are in the South West Trains livery
I’ve seen a few at Gillingham Depot! You should have a little look. Plus, I wonder if they add a pride/Trainbow livery!! That’ll look nice! Great video and love the enthusiasm :)
Maybe! and thank you :)
The class 707s look really nice in the new Southeastern livery.
Tell them again!!

I remember seeing these trains in the depot at ashford intl and wondering why there were red trains like this there, but i guess now i know why 🤷🏼♂️
the Driver's Cab Front Looks Like A Class 332/333 From A Distance
No fr it does
We need some new Network Nathan content 🙌🏻

I saw one at Blackheath! In SouthEastern livery too :)

This man is WAY too underrated. Help this man get to 1 mil subs
Should see if you can team up with Geoff Marshall
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!
Hold how am I late? It looks amazing!!! It honestly suits this better than SWT in my opinion.
Looks fantastic, but I can't help think they're better off with SWR having commonalities with the Class 444/450. Southeastern and Southern should have got 701s.
Naaaa. Not southern m9. South eastern no but DEFO not southern
Great video.☺️
Hi, I have watched your videos for a while now and I have enjoyed them, just wanted to let u know that I saw two blue southeastern 707's parked up at slade Green
That's a Willy Wonka train if ever I saw one. Nice presenter vibe btw :)
I was running late to work an saw it. Was thinking what did they do to the trains then realised it was a 707
I thought It was thameslink graffiti or something😂
The blue is very nice 👍🏾
Do you think the line to Hayes would ever get class 707s ?
Yes, Hayes and Sevenoaks are in southeastern's list
Yes, they have already been down the Hayes branch on training, (the two blue ones on the 11th August).
I love your stuff Nathan , Im not sure what the south eastern livery looks like, plz post
You’ll most definitely be able to notice it 🤣 it’s just dark blue with the southeastern logo
Liked and subbed. Good job. Loving the passion! Great trains to drive.
Awesome, thank you!

they should be in regular service soon so will more likely to see them. thank u ;)
@@networknathan fingers crossed! I’m planning a Southeastern fleet video… can’t release it until I get a blue 707 haha!
I can't tell you how annoying it is that we won't see these beauties on my local line at Penge East. They too long!
not all lines are made equally sadly. we should protest ahahahaha
Is it true that (some time in the future) the 707's shall be extended to six carriages each?
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)
They do look good, I spotted them all on SWR maybe I'll have to spot all the Blues now....
You’ve definitely got to
The blue livery deffo looks nice! I’m quite jel, I drive the TL 700s and don’t look as good with just being an off white 🤨
I totally agree!
In my opinion it would have made more sense for these to go to Great Northern, GN's 387s to go to Southern and Southern to send 377s to SE.
The only problem is the extra yellow off the belly if you what I'm trying to say either now yellow or just the yellow on the middle
i know exactly what you mean. they should make it the same as the swr yellow or the thameslink one
Great video, I’m not a massive fan of the 707 but I’m trying to get out and see one to make my final opinion on them
Love your videos bro! Keep it up
Themslink to people is basically just improvements to all of its stations, I disagree as Blackfriars’s still had some heritage left and the Brighton side of London Bridge was far more beautiful then the new station, I am not saying br architecture is beautiful but the old parts left in were
Grove Park is where I caught the pair of 707s (707009 & 707010) SE livery the video is on my channel IF u want to see it

some TOCs on there show the exact stock of train running aswell which is sickkkkk
@@networknathan oh my gosh...what..exact stock?? Count me in lmao
@@bb-3653 There is this thing called ‘Know Your Train’ on RTT, so some operators show the unit numbers of all the trains running.
@@CPTrains thats also very cool!! Thanks!!
@@CPTrains which operators show the unit numbers ? I would love to know if it was a 455 for example running fast to Guilford or something.
The headcode is usual 5Q**, theres a lot of them at Lewisham and Hither Green
Best one to go to is slade green train station
Around about 8:46 I think
The dark blue is very nice to look at but the lighter blue on the doors is not to my liking.

Outstanding video mate
glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice video! Are 707s gonna run on the Hayes (Kent) line then?
yes eventually!
I may... I may have to travel South of the river... God the livery looks beautiful. Nice one Nathan!
It really does. Can’t wait for them to be in service
Hello, do you have any social media site or contact?
yeah. instagram @networknathan :)
Nice one mate.
Have they fitted toilets in there
sadly no :(
Love your video. BTW, you are so cute
What is real times trains
realtimetrains.co.uk
New Sub Btw
Tell me that Siemens doesn't make good trains
Do you want to be a Train Driver in the future
No but I’d love to learn how to drive a train at one point
