Well they've had the best life that they could ever ask for. I mean almost 50 years is a remarkable lifespan, These trains have been the pinicle of british train engineering for over 40 years. In My Opinion the HST 125 has placed itself into my heart and it will never leave me. RIP HST 125 For Your Amazing Lifespan

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!

as far as i know they were to be replaced by newer electric loco's, some have been replaced with class 91's and others with the 220 and 221 voyagers. the class 43 fleet have had work to keep them on the rails for longer as their isn't enough money to replace them completely just yet, thank god.

Originally these were suppose to be replaced by the APT, but obviously due to the problems with the APT they never got going. 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.

Don’t worry everyone, they are not going to be on their original routes anymore but they will be going to other operators until their withdrawal dates just after 2030 Which is when they turn 54 years old. UPDATE: At this point, the 43’s have been taken of the ECML GWML however are still in fully operation with EMR and CrossCountry and once out of service with EMR they will be put in to storage.

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.

Checkout ‘XPT at Wauchope’ to see what I mean (the longer of the 2 videos although both are of interest in that it’s so rare to see an Express train stopped shortly after departure to assist a customer).

Nice idea. I lived in Swindon when the 43s came into service in the mid seventies, and I have loved them ever since. But it's a shame nobody has time to watch things at real speed. Was the video speeded up to match the length of the music?

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

@@Danse_Macabre_125 yeah ino, that was a pain in the arse to read up on because I didnt have a list of scrapped and such so had to convert all those units back to original numbers to work out all the ones now gone xD but then 43002-43198 litterally because of 43000 and 43001 which were renumbered to 41001 and 41002 xD

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

An excellent collection of video clips but why spoil it with the music?

Not cool to throw in footage of the Ladbroke Grove crash happening, people were killed in that clip. Hardly a great tribute to the victims being part of a music video and not a great highlight for the HST’s.
