It was said that these locos (also known as Intercity 225 when with the carriages) were `state of the art DC' when they came out in the late 80s and they still may be now that AC motors are the norm. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of traction motor noise in the obviously well insulated cab until at 02.22 the driver `put his foot down' and the loco really sounded like it was working. It's good to see these British designed & built locos still running and working so well. Thanks for posting.

Terrific! The landscape between Kings X and Finsbury Park has totally changed since 1997.

Wow!

[@airfoxtrot2006]

Great video mate liked and subbed :-)

Thanks and no Problem.

Very true you hear the grumble from the start like the 86's 87's because the motors are suspended on the bogies like a cd mechanism theres no vibration transfer into the cab. I missed my train once and still didn't hear nothing but fans when the loco left kings cross!

[@Banjostrings07Productions]

Yes they're a Great Loco

[@Banjostrings07Productions]

take it you like your electrics LOL, Thanks :-)

[@Martindyna]

Yes, judging from the few vids on YT, the Class 89 was the same - rather boring sound wise compared to earlier locos although a little more vocal than class 91.The Eurostar power car noise I also find unappealing (these have AC motors though). For traction motor sound I recommend the DVD `Dover & Out' by Locomaster Profiles which features a Travelling Post Office top & tailed by Class 73 Electro Diesels. Even in Diesel mode the traction motors can be heard.

Superb footage, a very fast run!! :-) I would so love to have a ride up front in one of these.
Which loco was this and what was the service?

[@Banjostrings07Productions]

[@Banjostrings07Productions]

Cant remember which 91 it was, it was on a Leeds service though. Thanks

Is the light coming out of tunnel as hard on the eyes as it appears to be on the camera?

[@DomVanquish]

The best parts are whenever the train goes through a tunnel...

[@jappychap2003]
