Alternative title: A Class 800 activates speedhacks
Something I filmed last year but didn't get to use in my railway review vids so I'm uploading here to see just how quick these things can accelarate once they get moving. This was filmed just after Reading New Junction heading towards Twyford.
A few points of note to possibly repel any smart alecs:
- I'm riding on a 387 on the relief lines whilst the 800 was on the fast lines.
- The relief linespeed once we start accelarating is around 90mph, 125 for the fast lines.
- We were accelarating, not slowing down. Twyford was still ~6km away.
- The 800 was on electric power.
- There was no incline of relevance. Unless you want to argue that a grade of 1 in 1320 or 0.07575...% is subsantial (it isn't.)
- I still think the IETs are dreadful.
