    I saw this set as it passed through Cheltenham on that day. I didn't realise that it was the last run. Another piece of my youth consigned to history.

    It sounded absolutely fantastic and really brought some drama to the occasion. With all those people on the station so late at night, it felt like quite a special event! RIP the HSTs

    Thankyou. I always try to mix it up a bit to give some context to the video, so it's not just about the trains but also the surroundings. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Thankyou. Yes, it was certainly a sad day and quite emotional. It's nice that CrossCountry had repainted the powercars, put a headboard on the train, and that so many people turned out to see it along the route. I've seen videos through Devon, the Midlands and Yorkshire and I'd imagine several thousand people must have watched that last train if you add up all the locations. An appropriate send-off.

    Quite a few have been exported to run on a new line in Mexico, so it's intetesting to see them getting a new lease of life abroad. I think some have gone to Nigeria too.

    You could take a similar synical view to every video on KZread. Let me think - shock as goal scored in football match, shock as six hit in cricket game, shock as poser crashes Lamborghini, shock as restaurant reviewer is wowed by restaurant that serves vaguely edible food. The list really is endless.
