GWR Class 802 'IET' - The Worst High-Speed Train? - Standard Class Review (London to Exeter)
Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report, this time I review the GWR Class 802 in Standard Class. For this week's video, I am travelling on a new-ish bi-mode Hitachi Class 802 units from London Paddington to Exeter St Davids. These trainsets, along with the very similar DfT-spec Class 800s wholly replaced GWR's long-distance fleet, including the Class 180 Adelante, and of course the fan-favourite Class 43 HST. Unfortunately, this new train is plagued with many faults and problems, which is why I would describe it as the worst high-speed train I have ever been on. It's definitely my least favourite train to ride. Watch the video to see why I really dislike this new train, and let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Hope you enjoy this video, if you did give it a like, and don't forget to subscribe for more weekly content. #gwr #iet #tripreport --- Journey Details: Origin: London Paddington Destination: Exeter St Davids Company: GWR (Great Western Railway) Train: UK Class 802 'Intercity Express Train' (IET) Accommodation: Standard Class Seat (2nd) Distance: 174 miles / 280 kilometres Price: £33.40 Time: 2h08m + 19L --- Find me elsewhere: https://superalbs.weebly.com/ / superalbs
