Riding an INTERCITY 125 on one of the RAREST sections of track in the UK!

I remember back in the late 1980s doing HST along the Wensleydale railway to the army camp, when the army trains used the track. And in the 1990s - there used to be a train from Scrborough to Leicester I think it was - summer Saturdays only for only 1 year that used the curve avoided Hull station.

You joke about a steam Engine on the Metrolink but it has happened! It happened on engineering train for the Metrolink but a brilliant video and the HSTs are always awesome!

It also happened when they took Thomas down to Queens road for a depot open day in the 90’s.

Nice to see the Class 43 HST at Derby. They are such an iconic British built diesel passenger train that dominated pretty much of the UK including England, Wales and Scotland.

brilliant vlog The HST is def an iconic train & is def missed on the rail network & great to see that one out on Charters

It's more fun to travel on unexpected lines when a normal service train does it unexpected. I've done Sheffield to Mexborough via the freight line, also Castleford to Church Fenton. Another unusual line was engineering work on a Sunday between Glasgow Central and East Kilbride we went towards Polmadie and reversed to Muirhouse South Junction!

Fond memories of the 125, in its early days.

living in the southwest makes people talking about the HST as if it is dead and gone feel weird considering theyre still used in some capacity down here

My son was on that train too @minionjosh & he was Birthday Boy as he was 21!! 😅 It was the start of a long weekend of celebrations for him. By the way, he’s got that cup at 12.50 too😅

Hope your son had a great birthday and hope he enjoyed the tour as much as we did! -Ewan
