Description
Hitachi Class 800004 at Swindon during driver and guard training before EIS in October 2017.

You will notice this IET is dispatched by the dispatcher and the guard, with the guards manager overlooking the process to see it goes smoothly. This is my first video with this featured, previous IET videos have been operated by GBRf for Hitachi testing the unit. This one is operated for GWR by GWR with a GWR driver, hence the reason it is being dispatched. Good to see an 800 in the sunshine too, not managed that yet in my 30 so attempts!
