These trains are so funny when they speed up, its cause of how short they are

The 172s are I believe the only diesel-powered trains I ever rode on as far as metro services in London go; I remember riding on them for the first and only time and being taken aback by the fact they well, sounded like cars/lorries instead of trains, complete with whistling turbochargers.

i liked the172 dmu when on g.o.b.l.i.n. duty, comfortable trains, just inadequate for the job, and the 710 fleet is in charge, but great to be reminded of them, the 172s, an old friend, just like the 150 sprinter that went before them the sprinter never made much of an impact in london, but g.o.b.l.i.n. saw them get a look in

I feel that the 172's were a victim of their own success on the GOBLIN. Their introduction to replace the 150's (which were already looking tired at that point), coupled with being part of the Overground lead to the surge in passengers using the line and as such the trains. However, being comprised of just 2 coaches per unit, they weren't able to sustain the growth in passengers. Being based in Greater Manchester, I have yet to experience it since the full electrification has been energised but I'm pleased that it finally received the electrification it has needed for decades

Great video. I love 172s in Chiltern Railways and West Midlands Railway (in the new livery). Next is best of TFW/ATW class 175/0s and 1s

A 172 is when a turbostar wants to be an electrostar so dresses up as one
