FGW Class 180 Faults And Failures

You’ll be going nowhere

Your definetly not going anywhere

I thought a driver's job was to actually drive the train. Instead it seems a driver's actual is to stab at a complicated sequence of buttons.

This is the original ‘you’ll be going nowhere.’

You'll be going nowhere

Interesting!

FNR switch bro who told you that we call it a reverser

the class 180 computer system seems awful clunky

Where was this filmed?

Ok. So I’ve always respected train drivers but since when did you need a PHD to become one?

does anyone know what the intro music is?

O......and by the way.......don't forget..,having been an engineer..,by default..,maybe you could just drive the train at high-speed across the country..,while worrying if your x y or z switch have been left in the right position & looking for safety signals in fog rain and sleet......and wondering if " management " will cut up rough if you are late..?

Why have videos about on-the-go train repair started appearing in my recommendations?

You'll be going nowhere

Actual rocket science

Whats the reason for having an engine in every car? Who designed that? Sounds like its a nightmare to maintain and costly as well.

cant beleive this is 20 years old now

I'm Feeling Sorry For The Class 180s They Were Just Amazing Trains That Sadly Never Stood a Chance 😢

Welcome aboard this first great western railway service to london padding we will be calling at (*engine turns off and everything is out of power*)

"A burst or any similar defect in any toilet can result in a loss of main reservoir air pressure"...

Dear lord...

12345 tms passkey

As long as there's a smell of washing up liquid, I'm good.
It's the impending sense of the rolling pin that disturbs me...

Thank you! Very cool! I was just trying to figure out how to drive my Adelante from the local dealer!

Why is there a button that you can’t press 😂. It sounds like these trains were designed just to wind up the crews 😂

I would turn the engines off before going to the cab at the other end. It will save fuel, reduce noise and prevent unnecessary emissions, and turn them back on just before go time.

Unpopular opinion, i like the 180.

Would he interesting to archive one.... probably wont go anywhere (like most museum bound trains)

But i do think they're VERY swanky. But like most fully electronic things they have a lot of gremlins

Like the P38 Land Rover Range Rover, and Dyson Fans

Could they have made this any more complicated? No wonder these machines are always failing.

Guys. All these faults were all my fault. So the next time you’re riding a Class 180 and it develops a problem. Just remember it was me, it was always me

Absolutely fantastic engineering to put the toilet heater on the same MCB as the compressor for something equally unimportant like the brakes

The Class 180 is the Chrysler PT Cruiser of trains.

"You'll be going nowhere"

“If the TMS says that the train’s going to Leeds, turn it off and on again. We don’t go there. We aren’t called First North Eastern.”

It’s a very complex machine.

Oh my goodness, there are just too many C**ks why not just remove all C**ks and replace them with valves, it could be all C**ks are the problem, To many C**ks can spoil the soup as they say. I reaal do like trains but, I wonder were they just all drunk after work when chose to name it and call a valve A C**k when the first trains were created, I mean yes you do have to C**K it open but why name it C**K.
