Huddersfield station is awesome. It reminds me of the old joke about Bristol. The city with a railway station that looks like a cathedral, and a cathedral that looks like a railway station!
I travel to Huddersfield from Leeds daily for university, and I can say the station building never ceases to take my breath away. A magnificent and beautiful piece of architecture!
Totally agree with you, I use to go here sometimes when at college in the '80s, it is sad though that they appear to have to have done only the bare minimum in investment since then, but that could apply to everything outside of the south-east, good luck with your education.
"Very poor window alignment" - a good turn of phrase for total indifference by rolling stock designers. Other than that, Trans-Pennine tend to be my favourite franchise and I will often take them out of choice over Avanti. As a fellow-Yorkshireman I was heartened to hear you refer to Leeds City station by its traditional name! Another good film Dylan, I think the commentary is better than sub-titles.
While many people seem to dislike the class 802s because of the comfort, I believe they are great stock. They have been allowed to give an intercity service across the pennies boosting capacity and enabling further use of the transpennine route. Excellent review!
you might like them 90 percent of us do not, if you like to be squesed in thats ok, its a pity you missed out on the 6pul units and 4cor units, they were comfortable and did not have do gooder anoucements
@@petersmith4455 Pretty harsh take on these. The old stock on this route wasn't bad comfort-wise but came nowhere close to meeting demand. These are better suited to the route when compared to the older stock and will be significantly better for the environment as they can run on both diesel and overhead wires.
They're good trains but their build quality can be questioned as well as their interior. The seats are my main criticism. Surely there are seat designs out there that save weight but are still comfortable? Maybe use the same seats as the GWR/Scotrail HSTs?
Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman described Huddersfield Station as “the most splendid in England”. There may well be several other stations that would challenge that claim but the fact is that for a traditional industrial northern town like Huddersfield, the station is indeed a splendid one.
Make a New Years resolution to get off the train at Newcastle to see the station and have a walk through the center of the city. You'll have a very pleasant time and maybe it will inspire you to do a video on your visit. Absolutely love your videos! Keep up the good work!
As in other reviews, TransPennine seem to offer a good product with these Class 802 units, although I think Lumo have done slightly better on the interior (perhaps they took their cue from TP and improved on the padding, lighting and several other small points. I must go back and have another look at Lumo to confirm my thoughts. At any rate, these units make up for the lack of capacity on a single Class 185. I was fortunate to have a couple of rides on these units and thought that a 5 car set would have been a better offering. i'm just wondering what my own local regional train operator, V/Line, might do when it comes time to replace 4 and 5 car loco-hauled sets that have a catering facility for medium/long distance journeys. The lovely V/Locity units at 3 cars long just don't cut it for journeys such as Melbourne to Echuca, Maryborough or Bairnsdale. Anyway, thanks again for a great review of the TP Class 802 units and hope you and your family and friends have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and can avoid this latest Covid curse, Omicron. Cheers from Michael.
Sorry I missed this on Monday. The holiday threw me off & I forgot. Yes, your home-based train station is a beautiful structure. It's nice to visualize where you depart from. Your current train is sleek & modern. Peeking in at first class doesn't seem to have seats any thicker than what you had. Everything does seem to be quite clean & well kept. For the price & distance it was a goodly price. Hoping they get the food service back on board. Merry Xmas & a happy, healthy New Year. Happy traveling.
I hate it when people complain about these trains, I really don’t get it why these are so hated. Lighting is fine, leg room is good and seats are comfy, what’s not to like? These trains are perfect intercity Units.
Great to see the Huddersfield Station again. We have followed Felix for some time and when we were visiting Manchester (from New Zealand) in 2017 we were pleased to see her in person when we visited Huddersfield. I have heard you mention Her Royal Floofyness before in your Reports.
Definitely agree at 11:03 the livery of their trains really does look so much better than the old livery. I always have that whenever I see their trains in person.
Hi Dylan great channel I used to work on the railway for gwr at Paddington and Oxford 13 years and loved it think your channel is really good there are a lot of routes I like my favourite one is Nottingham to Skegness just because it reminds my of my childhood growing up in Leicester and always used to go to skeggy on bank holidays and in the summer I wouldn’t say it’s spectacular but there some nice quaint little places that it goes through give a go one day maybe keep up the good work
I was fortune to do that journey from Leeds to Edinburgh on a TPE Nova 1 just prior to the first lockdown for £2 each way!! I got the tickets in the TPE ticket sale. Also, at Morpeth they switch back to diesel for the remainder of the journey as there is insufficient power to meet the demand for trains running on electricity.
Always a memorable trip running up the east coast mainline. I don't think I've ever done the west coast. Only got as far on there from London to Preston. Cheers. Dylan!
Another brilliant video, thank you. I have to say though, that the translation app is hilarious. My favourite on this video is at 16:29. I live about 4 miles from you)))
Felix & Bolt !!! 😍😍👍👍👍😆Those trains all looked very nice !!! And this train ! Those blue chairs are looking good 👍 The padding looked a bit too thin ,though !! But,you said very comfortable despite some bad reputation ! Do they reclin ? It looked o.k.for a 3hr trip !! Very clean ,too !! Does it have a cafe ? I just wondered . It seems like every train stations in England has Costa coffee !!? Lol. Very convenient !! What a huge platform in York !!! I'd love to go to Whitby someday !! I am planning to visit Devon ! Your videos are always very nice & interesting !! Your vlogs make me feel like travelling all over the world by train !!! That must be a fantastic thing to do !!! 😍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄🎁🚈💕💞
Nice scenic trip. The fresh spring green looks inviting from this late December view. I assume those are Scottish Broom bushes blooming alongside the train. Durham Cathedral was a monumental sight alone in the distance. If the place is amenable for it, I think it might be good if you give a tour of the National Railway Museum.
I appreciate that different coaches may give different ride. My Azuma to Edinburgh a few months ago vibrated a lot above 115mph. I'm booked on lumo in Feb, so I'll see if there's any difference. My local 80n in the West Country can also be a mixed bag. Wrt seats, the 2nd class GWR seats catch me on the back of my thighs where the seat rises towards the front edge, but as you say, the shape is generally ok. I worry the units will age quickly, given the current variation in ride quality between different coaches.
Another great video.Totally agree with you about the scenery north of Berwick , I always liked to have a meal on the mainline service from and to KX when travelling to Edinburgh along this section of the line. What could be better ?🍽🥃
Great review Dylan. I have been on these units a fair few times and in my opinion the seats are an absolute disgrace. These trains could be incredible but the seats and the abysmal ride quality really do let these trains down. On the plus side the acceleration really is amazing.
I have to agree that Huddersfield along with Liverpool Lime street have 2 of the best Facades in the North of England and that is coming from a Lancastrian.
@15:14 Wowzer .. you really need to visitt the city and the station at Newcastle .. and BTW we have a great football team too (at last !) Regards from Whitley Bay (10 miles east of NCL)
Definitely missing out not featuring Newcastle Central station in one of your videos, together with the opportunity to visit the city too. Could take a short trip from there to Wylam where George Stephenson was from also.
Dylan - I hope you got the right thing today. I meant to send a tip but accidently sent a request and there was no way to immediately cancel it. I saw it was finally cancelled and meanwhile sent the tip I had intended. Sorry about the mix up. Thanks for another year of great videos.
It's a gorgeous livery. I remember walking into Scarborough one day when I was about 10 and there was a class 185 with the new livery. Confused me at first lol
You should do the York to Harrogate to Leeds line - awful jointed track, semaphore signals and parts of it are single lined. Ah well at least we get Class 170s and some of the scenery is stunning !!
Nice review of what I would call "just another class 80x" - although TPE are calling it the Nova 1, from what I saw it looks just the same as another Class 80x...
Which I had a pound every time, I have been up and down the Concourse at Huddersfield Station. Go watch the Terriers when they are at home, never ever seen, Felix and Bolt though through years of trying. We generally go to Edinburgh every March, never caught the train at Dewsbury, usually get on at Leeds.
In 866, Northumbria was in the midst of internecine struggles when the Vikings raided and captured York In 1068, two years after the Norman conquest of England, the people of York rebelled. Initially they succeeded, but upon the arrival of William the Conqueror the rebellion was put down. Just wanted to correct your statement regarding the Viking capture of York.
I haven't travelled on one of these but the seats on the "Javelin" trains (similar class) out of St Pancras seem fine to me. These trains are also bi-mode, 3rd rail and overhead electric, they do travel at 140 mph on the HS1 sections but sometimes have to wait as Eurostar does not like it's 180 mph trains to have to slow down with a slower train in front!. Will be interesting to see how the planned changes to the railways improves journey time for services like this.
I heard the javelins are prototypes of these trains, therefore having better seats (on javelins). The seats are similar to the class 700s, but I can’t say if its good or jot because I say every seat is good :)
Дилан! Очень здорово 😊 смотреть твои видео, а благодаря автоматизированному голосовому переводу Яндекс браузера ещё и понимать, что ты говоришь. Ты замечательно и подробно всё рассказываешь о своих ощущениях о качестве поездок на железных дорогах Великобритании. Предлагаю тебе идею. Завести лазерную рулетку.

Не будет одного субъективного мнения, а будет ещё и чёткое показание прибора. Удачи тебе
Great upload, people must think Huddersfield is really nice when they arrive and see the station when in reality its a cesspit with the most miserable people ive ever come across (i was born and raised in Huddersfield so I'm allowed to say🤣) glad i moved to Rotherham. The Huddersfield to Sheffield train is nice for the scenery once you get through Lockwood and the local kids aren't lobbing bricks through the windows 🤣
Travelling to see the national rail museum with my brother and based off some deductions I made Im guessing its one of these trains I will be taking (personally wish it was the 185s but ah well)
Interesting video! The Huddersfield station is very impressive but I’m surprised that it seems small inside. I was expecting a huge hall to match the classic facade but it seems you immediately go directly to the platforms. I wonder if it was always like that. I would think that a Victorian station would have had an impressive passenger ticketing and waiting area. I agree that the blue colour of the trains is great (the only other colour that I think is impressive on trains is red, such as the Italian ones).
Huddersfield is due a pretty substantial rebuild in the near future as part of the upgrade of this route to high speed running and electrification. As far as Im aware though the passeneger facilities are very similar to when the station opened and wont change a huge amount after the upgrade in terms of size (aside from a potential northern entrance linked to a redevelopment of the goods yards on that side of the station).
My family and I where told to bored at the 1st class carriage and sit in the wheelchair section (on nova 1 it’s the only place for wheelchairs) it was late and meant we didn’t have to take our baby out of her pram
My criticism of the standard class seats on any 80x train is their shape. Padding doesn't matter too much, but I like to be able to relax into a seat on a long journey like this. I felt I could comfortably do so on any HST or even a class 166 Turbo. But the 80x seats I find are too upright so I can't relax into them.
hi there, i agree the seating in these skip type trains are dreadful, why cant they have the mk 1 open coach style seats ? these 800 trains are designed to pack em in, without comfort, welcome to 2021
What are the chances this pops up in my recommended when I took this exact journey with my partner a few weeks ago to see family. The train itself was over 20 minutes late which isn’t uncommon and as this is the last train to get to leeds from Huddersfield before 9 it was rammed with commuters for the first 20 minutes, although after this it was quite a peaceful journey. It’s a shame its the only direct service but neither transpennine or cross country seem like they’ll be putting another service on any time soon.
If it’s like the Class 800. Maybe Transpennine Express Class 802 Nova 1 could of been Class 804. Huddersfield station is amazing and is like York, Bristol Temple Meads, Newcastle and one large stations with canopies. And the subway has been improved with new lifts added to make the station step free accessible.
I travelled on one of these train recently between Edinburgh and Newcastle. Overall they are very smart looking trains with nice interior, but I found the seats to be a little too uncomfy even for a journey of just under two hours. Then again that might just be because I’d had a hard day at work and I’d only just gotten off an overcrowded class 385 from Glasgow to Edinburgh and of course that’s on one of the infamous ironing board style seats. So by the time I’d gotten to Newcastle I was begging for something really comfy
Personally I really like the 802s, I think the blue interiors of TPE and Hull Trains are brighter than the dull GWR sets but much less over the top and harsh than the red of LNER. Could definitely do with softer lighting though! Being blinded on a night is never great. The 802s also don't suffer from the same issues as the LNER Azumas where different lengths of trains can lead to unit types being swapped out, short sets being run and reservations being completely useless. They also don't have the issue of a quiet coach in the middle and standard class wheelchair spaces right at the far end of the platforms in London that plague the LNER sets and reduce accessibility.
Litterally this, tweak the lighting, better bike storage and proper set diagraming and these are good units wwith performance that puts their predecessors to shame.
Dylan, can you help me understand the difference between the terms 'saloon' and 'carriage'? Also, you have convinced me to explore your hometown on my next UK visit.
Not just Huddesfield, Newcastle, Glasgow Central, Liverpool Lime St, Leeds, St Pancras, ...... Britain is home to the most beautiful train stations collection in the world.
Doesn't Huddersfield have a station cat? Answered with two cats who are super adorable. have you ever wanted to liberate them on holiday? Was the drone noise annoying which sounds like it under the seat?
Wish Transpennine would reinstate the Edinburgh to Liverpool services. But instead there Increasing the Edinburgh to Newcastle part only with 1 of these type rumoured to be getting added to the Scotland - Manchester route inbetween the 397,s
Huddersfield station is awesome. It reminds me of the old joke about Bristol. The city with a railway station that looks like a cathedral, and a cathedral that looks like a railway station!
Love it too. And the pub is great!
And the cows nearby like their udders feeled *groan*
@@johnwillis187 Can you still walk through the pub onto the platforms?
I travel to Huddersfield from Leeds daily for university, and I can say the station building never ceases to take my breath away. A magnificent and beautiful piece of architecture!
Totally agree with you, I use to go here sometimes when at college in the '80s, it is sad though that they appear to have to have done only the bare minimum in investment since then, but that could apply to everything outside of the south-east, good luck with your education.

You’re so lucky to have the best train service, ever. Here in the States, it’s miserable. Love your videos!
I agree. I'm green with envy.

I love the look of these trains...the livery looks smart and inside looks cool too...Good report.
Thanks!

there is plenty of TOCs he could try to get up there, perhaps a XC offering, or a one off on the tyne & wear metro,
Great vid😊 love your channel it always brightens my mood when I watch you
Newcastle station is impressive and the city is lovely! You are missing out and need to visit! Great video as always Dylan. 👍🏻

Brilliant video. I absolutely love York. Such a beautiful place. Loved the National Railway Museum.
I enjoy layout videos.
I enjoy all your videos very much.
That seemed like a good, smooth ride. And quite picturesque. That'll go on my to-do list iff I ever make it to the UK.
Respect from the Colonies.🇦🇺

Those coastal views are magnificent.
Your videos are great! I like it👍 The fact that class 800 runs on electrified train lines and also on non-electrified lines is interesting.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Dylan, just popped on to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
Thanks, Dylan! That was a fun trip!
I was fortune to do that journey from Leeds to Edinburgh on a TPE Nova 1 just prior to the first lockdown for £2 each way!! I got the tickets in the TPE ticket sale. Also, at Morpeth they switch back to diesel for the remainder of the journey as there is insufficient power to meet the demand for trains running on electricity.
I love York. If you get a chance to visit the railway museum, allow yourself a few hours. It's worth it.
Nice content as always
Always a memorable trip running up the east coast mainline. I don't think I've ever done the west coast. Only got as far on there from London to Preston. Cheers. Dylan!
Don't expect any coast
Another brilliant video, thank you. I have to say though, that the translation app is hilarious. My favourite on this video is at 16:29. I live about 4 miles from you)))

Nice scenic trip. The fresh spring green looks inviting from this late December view. I assume those are Scottish Broom bushes blooming alongside the train. Durham Cathedral was a monumental sight alone in the distance. If the place is amenable for it, I think it might be good if you give a tour of the National Railway Museum.
Thks for the trip !!
I appreciate that different coaches may give different ride. My Azuma to Edinburgh a few months ago vibrated a lot above 115mph. I'm booked on lumo in Feb, so I'll see if there's any difference. My local 80n in the West Country can also be a mixed bag.

Great video !!
what a amazing video the interia is awsome the seats look more comphy than the lner azumas livery great i might take a trip on one
Great trip on a nice livery train.
Another great video.Totally agree with you about the scenery north of Berwick , I always liked to have a meal on the mainline service from and to KX when travelling to Edinburgh along this section of the line. What could be better ?🍽🥃
awesome scene of Huddersfield station - soon to change with the rebuilding for the wires
Great review Dylan. I have been on these units a fair few times and in my opinion the seats are an absolute disgrace. These trains could be incredible but the seats and the abysmal ride quality really do let these trains down. On the plus side the acceleration really is amazing.
What a rebel you are, going up the stairs that say "No Entry"! :-)
I agree that coastal stretch north of Berwick-u-Tweed is incredibly beautiful.🙂
Another great video but a bit surprised you showed a power station and didn't show a view of Holy Island. But who am I to question why lol 😆
I have to agree that Huddersfield along with Liverpool Lime street have 2 of the best Facades in the North of England and that is coming from a Lancastrian.
@15:14 Wowzer .. you really need to visitt the city and the station at Newcastle .. and BTW we have a great football team too (at last !)

You got bloody lucky with no fountains 😉
Aye, too right 😂
Great video,
so, Dylan's a Yorkshireman!!! who would have thought that! Eyup!
Nice video . Thanks

Awesome 👍👍👍 bro

11:50 You can see the A1 60163 Tornado parked outside the National Railway Museum in York.
It's a gorgeous livery. I remember walking into Scarborough one day when I was about 10 and there was a class 185 with the new livery. Confused me at first lol
The same happened to me at leeds
I'm a tram and I approve this video! :)
I originally came from Huddersfield it’s an impressive station 🚉
You should do the York to Harrogate to Leeds line - awful jointed track, semaphore signals and parts of it are single lined.
Ah well at least we get Class 170s and some of the scenery is stunning !!
Nice review of what I would call "just another class 80x" - although TPE are calling it the Nova 1, from what I saw it looks just the same as another Class 80x...
Brilliant video tpexress 802 nova 1 is my favourite train I need try other company got iep 800 feet and 2 tpexress trains
"In good working order", while you're waving your hand around frantically trying to trigger the sensor
Lol, Im the conductor on this train between York and Newcastle!
Which I had a pound every time, I have been up and down the Concourse at Huddersfield Station. Go watch the Terriers when they are at home, never ever seen, Felix and Bolt though through years of trying.
We generally go to Edinburgh every March, never caught the train at Dewsbury, usually get on at Leeds.
I think it’s rather fitting that I got adverts for TPE on this video!
YES I live really close to huddersfield. In birstall in fact
6:38, the table looks like a monster where the two eyes are the cupholders.
I generally find it outrageous that in modern trains due to the airline style seating the seats are just randomly in alignment with the windows.
Oh, I subscribed.
Looks pretty much the same as the 397 which I travelled on in June between Manchester and Haymarket.
I do want a TPE trip again on a Nova,
Nearly at 100k subs!!
Merry Christmas buddy from Alan Shelley
Merry Christmas to you too.
Thanks, Dylan! What beautiful Scottish landscapes, it is beautiful Scotland. But have you moved? I thought you lived in Scotland.

Hi Dylan. I love your videos! What was the worst train trip you recorded?
I’ve been on first class on the train Edinburgh to Newcastle it’s really not bad
Boa viajem Dylans lindo trem 🚆 azul
Travelling to see the national rail museum with my brother and based off some deductions I made Im guessing its one of these trains I will be taking (personally wish it was the 185s but ah well)
I'd say the seats are firm but rather ergonomically friendly
Interesting video!
The Huddersfield station is very impressive but I’m surprised that it seems small inside. I was expecting a huge hall to match the classic facade but it seems you immediately go directly to the platforms. I wonder if it was always like that. I would think that a Victorian station would have had an impressive passenger ticketing and waiting area.

I really am jealous about your trains and stations compared to our shit here in US. But that blue train looks like a subway consists not a train.
Once agian, congratulations, Dylan. Very inerestin.
Everything past the station frontage in Huddersfield seems grim. I shuddered at the state of that underpass.
My family and I where told to bored at the 1st class carriage and sit in the wheelchair section (on nova 1 it’s the only place for wheelchairs) it was late and meant we didn’t have to take our baby out of her pram
My criticism of the standard class seats on any 80x train is their shape. Padding doesn't matter too much, but I like to be able to relax into a seat on a long journey like this. I felt I could comfortably do so on any HST or even a class 166 Turbo. But the 80x seats I find are too upright so I can't relax into them.
hi there, i agree the seating in these skip type trains are dreadful, why cant they have the mk 1 open coach style seats ? these 800 trains are designed to pack em in, without comfort, welcome to 2021
@@petersmith4455 Yeah true, they're providing uncomfortable seats while charging us ever higher fares to travel. Why???
I hate how no one considered comfort when it came to designing the seats on the class 80X family of trains.
What are the chances this pops up in my recommended when I took this exact journey with my partner a few weeks ago to see family. The train itself was over 20 minutes late which isn’t uncommon and as this is the last train to get to leeds from Huddersfield before 9 it was rammed with commuters for the first 20 minutes, although after this it was quite a peaceful journey. It’s a shame its the only direct service but neither transpennine or cross country seem like they’ll be putting another service on any time soon.
If it’s like the Class 800. Maybe Transpennine Express Class 802 Nova 1 could of been Class 804. Huddersfield station is amazing and is like York, Bristol Temple Meads, Newcastle and one large stations with canopies. And the subway has been improved with new lifts added to make the station step free accessible.
I travelled on one of these train recently between Edinburgh and Newcastle. Overall they are very smart looking trains with nice interior, but I found the seats to be a little too uncomfy even for a journey of just under two hours. Then again that might just be because I’d had a hard day at work and I’d only just gotten off an overcrowded class 385 from Glasgow to Edinburgh and of course that’s on one of the infamous ironing board style seats. So by the time I’d gotten to Newcastle I was begging for something really comfy
Personally I really like the 802s, I think the blue interiors of TPE and Hull Trains are brighter than the dull GWR sets but much less over the top and harsh than the red of LNER. Could definitely do with softer lighting though! Being blinded on a night is never great.
The 802s also don't suffer from the same issues as the LNER Azumas where different lengths of trains can lead to unit types being swapped out, short sets being run and reservations being completely useless.
They also don't have the issue of a quiet coach in the middle and standard class wheelchair spaces right at the far end of the platforms in London that plague the LNER sets and reduce accessibility.
Litterally this, tweak the lighting, better bike storage and proper set diagraming and these are good units wwith performance that puts their predecessors to shame.
Dylan, can you help me understand the difference between the terms 'saloon' and 'carriage'? Also, you have convinced me to explore your hometown on my next UK visit.
Wow
Maybe do the class 185 Cleethorpes - Man Picc
Not just Huddesfield, Newcastle, Glasgow Central, Liverpool Lime St, Leeds, St Pancras, ...... Britain is home to the most beautiful train stations collection in the world.
Hey ups from a fellow local, I had no idea you could catch a direct train up to Edinburgh, learn something everyday!
It’s a very limited service to Edinburgh though and I think it’s coming to a stop soon
@@s125ish Well with Lumo now calling at Morpeth & Edinburgh no point triplicating the service,
Doesn't Huddersfield have a station cat? Answered with two cats who are super adorable. have you ever wanted to liberate them on holiday? Was the drone noise annoying which sounds like it under the seat?
👍👍👍👍👍
it's very blue
Wish Transpennine would reinstate the Edinburgh to Liverpool services. But instead there Increasing the Edinburgh to Newcastle part only with 1 of these type rumoured to be getting added to the Scotland - Manchester route inbetween the 397,s
Good vid. But for Scots, the Royal Border Bridge is the border, whatever the de facto situation is…
