East Midlands VP185 HST’s - Final Year Of Service 2020

[@Paracelsus74]

Of all the different HST liveries I like this one most. It looks fresh, dynamic and fits well to the train's shape. They had a good designer.

[@gregorycallow3078]

I'm loving your videos! Only just discovered your channel. Thanks for all your hard work and time into recording these beautiful trains.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

I'll miss making my journeys on the EMR HSTs, booked at the right time it's quite a treat.

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

[@trainsonthebrain]

Is East Midlands Railway still keeping the remaining Class 43 MK3 HSTs. As EMR have ordered 33 Class 810 AT300s but will not be in service until at least 2022/2023. And the Class 360s cascaded from Greater Anglia will be in service from next year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_360 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_810

9:45 I like that horn

[@bjoe385]

22:55 is that a 37 I hear in the background?

[@officialrailfanomar]

Nooooo not the EMR HST’s too! ECML got rid of their HST’s now EMR is?!

[@matthewbutterfield7233]

They've swapped them for a set of former LNER power cars and coaches. Fortunately the HST lives on for the moment!

[@AquaFonic]

@@matthewbutterfield7233 NOT FOR LONG 9 sets were originally sent from LNER EMR found 6 were usable the other 3 were so badly damaged they were scrapped

[@matthewbutterfield7233]

@@AquaFonic I stand corrected! Do you happen to know how long they will be around for?

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

@the intercity 125 fan No its because that they are 40 years old and their body work is rotting and they are starting to get unreliable

[@deejay0428]

Progression....covid times or not....everything has a shelf life.

[@nathansrailwayphotography8125]

Great

[@lnertrainfan1785]

Agreed

[@class56trainsrock62]

That blue pullman HST still has the vp185 engines it might be rare though but keep whatching you might be lucky

[@sjmedia54]

How come they are retiring?

[@lnertrainfan1785]

I believe it’s because they aren’t good for disabled people and have bad disabled spaces/access

[@theimperialist2686]

@@lnertrainfan1785 Yep that's the main reason, I could be wrong but I heard the other reason was that some of the engines used weren't fit for operation.

[@sjmedia54]

@@theimperialist2686 ah so i take it some fresher trains will be replacing them

[@theimperialist2686]

@@sjmedia54 Seems to be that way.

[@lorrainepotasnick2973]

Or they are just really old

[@BibtheBoulder]

15/05/21:...and then they were gone....

[@jameshoyle5918]

These trains look very out of date, old and polluting

[@AquaFonic]

Yep they are totally and filthy that’s why they have gone

[@yellowhatproductions5863]

TWAT

[@nobby3265]

I mean they were built in the 70s or something but ok

[@jameshoyle5918]

The driller Killa!! They should have been scrapped years ago.
