EMR’s Class 180 On Tour - “The Jolly Fisherman” Summer Special Between Derby and Skegness!

*NOTE* There was a typo with the voiceover at the beginning, was meant to say 1839!

Since East Midlands Railway retired their HST sets in 2021, the Skegness Summer Special services they ran were put on an indefinite hiatus after the last ones ran in Summer 2020. 2 years later, EMR have introduced their recently-acquired Class 180 "Adelante" units on the route, which are a slight reduction in capacity compared to what they replaced, however are still fit for purpose... so join me as I ride one of these trains on the Summer Saturday only Derby to Skegness route!
