Greater Anglia Class 745 and Class 755 are very nice. The Class 745 are very fast.

Thanks for the video, nice to see these trains in service! I could spot a class 745 unit in the border town of Constance/Germany, November 2018, being pulled by a german class 140 locomotive. Obviously straight from the factory and about to be delivered. I can send you a photo if you're interested. I remember some bi-mode trains and some for TransPennine Express as well during this period.

Excellent location shooting & FLIRT tracking :) Now, I'm happy that for the first time in 60 years we're got some new stock running around the Norfolk & Suffolk regions as the last time we saw anything new around here was 24th Dec 1960 and a certain D6700 .... However, those cheeky marketing people at Greater Anglia are taking the p a bit about promising "more seats", particularly on the regional routes like Lowestoft-Ipswich. Basically, there were class 156's mainly doing that route, with 140 seats across two cars. And now, with the three car 755's - we have 144 seats. Yep, 4 more seats. Yay.

Wonder how you would attach and detach coaches on these units. Some seem to have 3 passenger coaches and the rest have 4 along with the Diesel engine in the middle. They also seem to share a bogey between two coaches.

Would like to see these made for Train simulator 2021.

The 755s seem to have very short carriages (not including the power units).
-
I think the 755 is a diesel locomotive and the 745 is an electric locomotive and 745 has first class and 755 has standard old seats with it being only 3-4 coaches long the 745 can have 12 coaches with it

Top speed of the 755 in electric mode vs diesel mode ?
