Greetings everyone! :D
Turning to our final look at the history of HSTs by region, we cast our eyes over the last of BR's regions to introduce these sets during late 1982 and early 1983, the Midland Region or Midland Mainline, a route that, throughout the 1970s, had been threatened with partial closure on numerous occasions, but following the arrival of the High Speed Train saw a massive improvement in journey times and efficiency that turned what was once Britain's backwater mainline into a vital commuter corridor rivaling both its East and West coast neighbours.
