Фильм және анимация
Hello guys and welcome back to another new video and back with a special video and here is tribute video for the Crosscountry HSTs I hope you all enjoy this video this video I have made over the last week.
End of a era for the Crosscountry HSTs 1982 to 2023 certainly going to miss them and I speak for everyone who loves them too certainly going to be strange with no HSTs around anymore, you will see in this video I went Plymouth today to go on the last ride on the Crosscountry HST back to Exeter from Plymouth which was 43007 and 43008 and I included two pictures at the end of this video!
Normally I ask for likes to like the video but in this case I would like for all of you to smash the thumbs for button for the Crosscountry HSTs let’s see how many likes we can get let’s destroy it!!!!

What can I say? End of an era indeed. I was travelling on them way back in '82 and didn't appreciate them at all. How short-sighted. 😞 Very good video indeed and let's appreciate ALL types of train while we have them.
Sad to see the HST's fast disappearing. Excellent video Alex, thanks for sharing.

No problem mate really sad indeed did you get the chance to travel on one😢?
Grew up with the XC HSTs in Birmingham during the early eighties. Sad year for me me as my Dad passed away, and he was the person who got me into trains.
The quality is very good!🎉

Happy retirement! Farewell old friend ❤
Brilliant report Alex...I am so sad to hear of the end of HSTs on GWR. So many great memories--mostly Westbury Paddington but occasionally Bristol. I am hoping to be back in UK for summer '24 and exciting rail journeys. Many, many thanks, Dave

Can’t thank you enough guys for the overwhelming support on this video I asked if we can get this video to 100 likes and we did I’m sure the crosscountry HSTs will be looking at this video being so happy and proud!
What a fantastic tribute for the crosscountry HSTS will miss them very much never been on a crosscountry HST only been on a GWR HST the railway will never be the same without the lovely sound off HSTS
Lovely Tribute to the iconic HST operated by Cross Country. I couldn’t see the last one as I am on Holiday but i think i might make a compilation video for the Cross Country HSTs the ones i have managed to record for Al’s Trainspotting HD i have seen quite a few. I really enjoyed this video and tribute.

This is your best video, Alex. I had the pleasure of riding HST when it was at Great Western and it was a total joy to be on. But, all good things have to come to an end and HST time is bowing out. Thank you HST

They certainly were mate I just did that today from Plymouth to Exeter on the last HST service
Such a tragic occasion to learn that there will be no more CrossCountry HST class 43 on our tracks. 43 007 and 43 008 should now be preserved for ever. I do hope that this will happen and that they will not scrap them. RIP Class 43 HST's.

Unfortunately due to its age costing to maintain these wonderful power houses of the railway
