However, all services begin at Liverpool Street in the heart of the City of London which is where we begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur train is a recently introduced Greater Anglia \u003cem\u003eAventra\u003c\/em\u003e class 720 EMU (electric multiple unit). From the outset we run over the former Great Eastern main line towards Norwich. Our first stop is the major interchange station at Stratford East London where we pick up most of our passengers. From there we run non-stop alongside the additional tracks of the \u003cem\u003eElizabeth Line\u003c\/em\u003e to Shenfield, our second stop. Now, down to double line, we run into rural Essex calling at the County Town Chelmsford and running through the newly opened Beaulieu Park station viewed from the cab and the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the city of Colchester, our train \u003cem\u003ediverges \u003c\/em\u003e from the main line and heads south eastwards over the Sunshine Coast line to Hythe and Wivenhoe before running fast to Thorpe le Soken, the junction with the Walton on the Naze branch. Turning further to the south, into the glorious sunshine, we head towards the classic Essex seaside town of Clacton, where we end by capturing a little bit of the atmosphere down by the pier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning at speeds of up to 100 mph in sunshine throughout, we see the drivers (who change at Colchester), stations, trackside-runbys and aerial views. The history of this early main line, dating from 1839, is in the accompanying narration expertly delivered by one of Video 125's favourite professionals: Jonathan Kydd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe route is shown virtually in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Video 125","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":56882628985218,"sku":"SCL","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5127\/files\/suncoa-3d.png?v=1788266100","url":"https:\/\/www.video125.com\/products\/sunshine-coast-1","provider":"Video 125","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
