A History & Review of the class 507s - Soon to be gone! | Stragglers class 507

For those who know my channel well, you may know of my 'Stragglers' series - the series where I look at Britain's oldest trains, and review them.
Today I'm trialing a new format of video, to better reflect my growing audience: In today's video I'll look at an in-depth history of the class 507/class 508s before reviewing the units and discussing the future of them.
If you enjoy this style of video, do let me know! If there's anything I've missed, or you would like to add to the video, also let me know!

There are a few points I forgot to mention, for example the 313s being AC powered as well as DC, also the new Headbolt Lane station as an example of the 777s battery motor usage!

Thank you for 2k subs, it means a lot! Do consider Liking & Subscribing if you enjoy!
