    Nice video mate. Nice to see the HST but 37667 was the star for me. Looked and sounded brilliant. Great filming.

    One of your finest vids Sir, a bit of history there with the Blue HST set so far from it’s usual haunts, what an opening with the black 5! I managed to catch the RTC and Pullmans here on their way through to you. Thanks for upload, enjoyed the variety 👍👍👍

    Outstanding. One of the most diverse and beautifully shot rail videos I’ve seen. But a question - that 37 on ‘rail head preparation’ duty? What does that mean? Thanks.

    • @TheJamster2006

      Thanks very much! The 37 was sanding the rails ahead of the hst to ensure it didn't struggle on slippery rails caused by autumn leaves falling onto the track

    Phenomenally breath-taking video with a great mix of vintage, old and new! What does the test train actually do? I think I might have asked this before lol!

    • @TheJamster2006
      @TheJamster2006  3 года назад

      Cheers, the test train basically checks for track defects in all manner of ways. Any problems it picks up will be reported to be repaired

    Can you help me out here? Why is there an HST painted in Pullman colours and is it permanent? Is it just a case of preserving the spirit of the Midland Pullman or something else?

    • @TheJamster2006
      @TheJamster2006  2 года назад

      You've got the idea yourself. Offering tours with a Pullman service. I'd imagine it will be a permanent thing unless demand drops away

  • @prof.hectorholbrook4692
    @prof.hectorholbrook4692 3 года назад

    And that's all it is. A HST with blue paint, mainly refreshed TF trailers and microwaved food, all wrongly marketed as "Blue Pullman" for those who don't know any differently. I doubt the interior passenger accommodation actually tick all the Pullman Standards criteria boxes.

    Excellent video, the HST's look good in Scottish landscape. It appears one sees a fair amount of people on the train, are things back to normal or i am seeing railfans going for a ride because it's an HST?

      Thanks, it looked fairly full but i don't think the passengers looked like enthusiasts, i don't think thats the sort of train most enthusiasts could afford to travel on 🤣

      @@peters1127 its a weekend trip from London to Inverness, Inverness to Kyle and back then Inverness back to London. the price will include travel, accommodation, meals on board the train or at the hotel and coach travel from the station to the hotel. Not sure on exact figures but id guess it would be a 4 figure amount
