A great compilation of clips, that HST reanimation crash was spectacular. These machines and their MK3 coaches are one of thee safest locos and coaches ever built. I love the HST, it passes my work several times a day on the east coast mainline in Scotland. I hope they last forever as the day they are gone I don't know what I will listen and look out for! I fear 2018 and the end of these iconic machines, they got me interested in railways and model trains. God love em! Thanks for your vid!

What was BR's loss back in the 70 was a gain for all of us to the present day. These will be phased out by the Hitachi Super Express on the Great Western & East Coast lines, then the Midland MainLine at a later stage.

Fantastic overview of an iconic world famous train. Towards the end we clearly see and hear how HST has been bought up to date by the re-engineering with MTU power & other mods. I have never been a fan of `clag' and one of the reasons I liked the old Thumpers (class 205 DEMU) first built in 1957 was the almost complete absence of smoke even under full load. The Valenta scream was awesome though. I didn't realise until recently that HST technology was purchased by Australia - see XPT on YT.

im not sure why FGW had alot of HSTs tbh but alot of HSTS were pushed off the northern london routes by the class 91 in the 90s and then pushed off the virgin and virgin cross country routes round 2003 and other companies took up the trains from those companies, when FGW changed the GWR and started getting rid of the HSTS for the class 800s? to my knowledge they went back to angel trains who then passed them on to scotrail along with the old national express ones and all that. also the HST was first tested on the FGW routes before being rolled out. Im currently looking into the history of the HSTs for a new video but information on company history ownership of the HSTs is not easy to find. However I can give you this information... 1 prototype powercar of 2 scrapped (1993) 197 power cars built of which: 18 scrapped (atleast 6 due to crashes) and most in 2021-2022 1 waiting disposal and scrap 5 being gutted for parts 3 awaiting repairs 1 damaged but no pending repair 5 exhibition status (decommissioned) 37 in storage (future pending) 2 ceased operations 126 in service (63 trains) GWR currently has around 35 (including the gutted) GWR gets its class 43s from angel trains who have 30 in storage right now for use (12 reciently got scrapped from them of both old lner and national express livery as well as FGW) cross country currently have around 15 (cant remember if thats sets or powercars) scotrail took up stock from angel trains which is the former redundant midland stock along with FGW stock (before GWR rebranding) 54 power cars in december GWR are retiring the HST sets completely meaning that angel trains will get an added 35 powercars (they said they are struggling with the future of the HSTs so if demand doesnt arrise then newport will likely see another batch of HSTs for scrap in 2024 cross country have plans to retire the HSTs scotrail has caused a ding dong because they dont want 60 year old HST stock

No that came later, first great western at the time of the video had the blue livery with the weird ribbon lines through it. I think sometime later they rebranded, turned the hst to a 4 car set (junking unused cars) and then slowly painting their trains green with gwr on them. At the time I made this video the first great western/great western railway region was talking about electrification and replacement of the class 43 trains, I didnt think at the time they were going to repaint them as they seemed to be in the process of replacing them with the hitatchi junk (cant beat the class 43) and such and companies years before said it wasnt fuel economical to run the class 43 with less cars so i never expected a shorter livery to happen aswell

@@otterlyamazing2605 too much work xD would have to source the clips again and such as i dont have the video without the music to rework it and I dont think there are many new liveries either, I will probably remake it once the class 43 is finally decommissioned for good as it will avoid a few years down the line another livery coming out xD

@DENPTrains7 жыл бұрын
Originally they were supposed to be replaced by the InterCity APT-P but it never took off as it had problems, they have been kept in service for quite some time now, but sadly they will be slowly phased out in 2018 when the Hitachi Class 800/1 hits the rails

The music was to cover the fact the train sounds were very sliced and diced in alot of places, in most of the documentary stuff the guy would talk over the sound so would have to be creative with replacing it with other sound clips and such
