As a Guard at Bath Rd, I was on the 07.30 HST to Birmingham, when doing 110 mph the Driver gave a full brake application, I saw nothing, but he spotted a red flag 3/4 of a mile away, and we ran through 3 dets, it was a broken rail.

Great video. ☺️

I Love Class 43 IRl and TS2018

The intercity 125 are very old trains but nice 👍🏻 to see and good on

I didnt know they had keys! That explains why they were always late in the 1980s, the driver left the keys at home

Amazing, start up the BEAST 💪🇬🇧👆

I wish they would bring out a large scale model kit of this hst! I love them!

Sweet,been in the cab 80s ,BEAST of a train

and today power car 43048 has gone into retirement, wish i did this, would have made my childhood

I'm just thinking about the sheer cost in money of starting and running a train that weighs xxx tonnes 😬. Literally money up in smoke

This was at an open day, they are few and far between but I reckon you would be in with a chance at some point.

As if a train needs a key lol

The Driver’s master key needs to be in before the engine can be started. So whilst not an ignition key, a key is needed, as you can see at three minutes in.

The master key is the the key that unlocks all of the controls that's why it's called a"master key"
