The Final Year of HST's on the Midland Mainline - Goodbye East Midlands 125's!

[@theimperialist2686]

What an end to an era, will miss making my journeys on these HSTs. Despite their problems, they were magnificent trains.

[@Desiro360]

Superb video. Nice one. A fitting tribute to the final months of HST's on the Midland Main Line.

[@alexcarter6680]

The last of the true HST’s running on a mainline out of London gone the end of an era

[@TheNutyking6170]

That's the end of my childhood, sad to see these HSTs go

[@QuarioQuario54321]

I think these were also the last to have their original doors. The rest have been modified to have sliding doors. On the bright side, that means nobody will ever get whacked by a pantograph pole causing their death.

Brilliant video!

[@TrainsBoatsPlanes]

Great video of excellent trains.

[@robertmwamba7971]

Please don’t make the HSTs go away... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@nathanentertainment8213]

There’s still plenty going around in Scotland, XC, Network Rail, GWR

[@jamesross8266]

They used to be so many hst beside my local bridge the Tay bridge now it’s just voyagers and azumas

[@Pmjs]

I read EMR won't introduce their Aurora 800s until 2023.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

That’s correct

[@nathanentertainment8213]

They haven’t even been built yet

[@Ed_Gilbert]

@@nathanentertainment8213 Yes, they are not built YET, but they are being built right now - I heard testing at the Newton Aycliffe test track will start this summer on the newest units.

Oh wow that clag at 1:03 was one of the best clags I've ever heard of a valenta bye the way farewell you brilliant trains always been my favourite loco and always will be at least Scot rail gwr and cross country ones are still lasting

[@alfredosgaming340]

It’s a VP185, the Valentas haven’t been in service for 11 years, sorry

[@ttvvideos2050]

VP185 mate

[@williamradford8817]

The iconic INTERCITY 125, class 43s with drawn from London St Pancras M.M.L services, take over by the 222 voyagers in 5/7 coach

[@TrainPlaneHub]

222’s are called meridians. They’re not taking over, in fact the class 360 EMU’s are taking over as well as the IET auroras which will enter service in the not too distant future.

[@tristanbeck6478]

Why do some HST’s have 6 lights at the front and some only have 4?

[@ttvvideos2050]

some got given different headlights, before they changed it to 4

[@williamradford8817]

Another company retires the good old 125/43 HSTs. like London Paddington GWML, 125s replaced by GWRs new 800s Diesel/Pantograph trains

[@SionsTrainVideos]

and 802s

[@terinasargeant138]
