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.
