Just so everyone knows, when I say "Brand new" I don't mean the HSTs I mean the carriages, the carriages have also been in use for years but this set has been newly painted and refurbished for midland Pullman tours to the west highlands.
@@lewis72 I thought they would have probably been used before but I wasn’t sure, I just put that since they are a new edition to Midland Pullmans Fleet
Not sure why they call it the Midland Pullman as the original Blue Pullmans that were designated for the service from Manchester to London St Pancras that carried the Midland Pullman title stopped running when the WCML Electrification trains started running from Manchster to London Euston and these Blue Pullman trains were transfered to the Western Region to run services from London Paddington to South Wales and Birmingham Snow Hill and only had " Pullman " displayed on them
With the Governments intent to nationalise the railways does this mean that operators like the Pullman will be lost? Also it will be sad to see the loss of all the varied liveries as well, on the ECML we have Lumo with their different way of operating with low price standard class only trains, they were planning for expansion but that will all disappear as we return to the good old days of a British Rail style operator...........not.
@@RushfanUK I’m not sure what will happen, I don’t think that Railtours like the midland Pullman will disappear though. In Scotland ScotRail is owned by the government and we do still see new liveries but I don’t know if the same will apply for the rest of the uk or not. I’m also hoping that nationalisation won’t have too much of an effect on British rail
@@Zander_Trains it's the same coaching stock from when the Power cars were new in 1977/ 78 !! They were built for each other and were both new at the same time !!! The only thing new here is the PAINT and Decals !
@@Sam_Green____4114 it’s a new addition to the Railtour company’s fleet which is why I say it’s “New” I’m sure all the interior has been done up and as you say the paint has also been redone to match the locos
The Blue HST train is not new and I caught these two power cars running minus there matching coaches back in 2021. You really need to use a tripod for filming as it will steady your camera phone as you zoom in and out, if you use an iPhone 'Final Cut Pro Camera is great. You really need to use an external microphone with a deadcat windsock to get rid of the wind noise. Great video however
@Ashworth-Media thanks for the suggestions, I’m quite new to using a camera instead of a phone and am considering getting a microphone at some point. I have a tripod but I’m still figuring out the best way to film with it which might be why some shots are shaky, the first train came right as I was setting up so had to film without it. Thanks though, I think I will definitely get a mic at some point.
@@Zander_Trains I was not intending to teach you how to suck eggs more over I was trying to help you, I learnt the hard way and my first few videos where terrible, it's always an idea to know what you will be filming, what angle and location will give you the best shot and if at all possible get there early (helpful if there's a lot of people). Tripods do help a lot, I have a big aluminium one and a smaller plastic one that can sit on a bridge or fence. Zooming in to far and moving the camera can cause shaking, to avoid being to close to the action you can always edit bits out and it's always a good idea to film way more then you will finally use, I reckon that I don't use 1/2 of what I shoot. I usually keep all my basic filming gear in the car in a small aluminium case to jeep everything together. I will at some point do a how to film video using basic kit.
@dking225 it’s the midland Pullman, midland is a completely different thing than the midland Pullman, the midland Pullman is owned by locomotive services and is called “the midland Pullman” it says it on the train!

LOL they do look very like the other used set.
Even the Mk3 carriages aren't new. They would have been built back in the '70s/'80s. Just had a refit and a refurb, probably.

The Midland Pullman Looks Immaculate Every time I’ve Seen it and is a Credit to its Owners and Staff - Great Action Shots there, Nicely done 👍🏻

A very nice catch with the recently refurbished hst set and the 37 light loco 👍
@@colingarwood9971 Thank you! I caught the 37 just in time as the Pullman arrived at the same time as it
Lovely footage - thanks so much for posting!
@@keithporter9822 Thank you!
Awesome footage! That Midland Pullman set is indeed looking lovely
@@railquest Thanks! It does look great
Great video, and good to see the new HST based Pullman en route to Fort William !
@@anthonywarrener1881 Thank you for the comment!
Looking forward to travelling on this train one day... some day!! Great capture.
That would be nice, it seems like a very nice train, thanks for the comment.
Is this the set that used to be green.?
@@jerrydowse5061 I’m not to sure, it’s possible
Lovely set but where's the kitchen car?
I’m not sure, is it possible that it could be on the other side like a smaller one?
Nice video :)
@@SimonTog thank you! Good to hear that you liked it
Err. Nearly 50 year old HST set. But WOW what a recreation of the midland pullman.
43's were brand new.... in 1975
@@letrainavapeur of course the 43s aren’t new but the coaches are Newley painted and done up
Cool

@@ЛЬВИНИ thank you
They are Not brand new !! They date from about 77/78 !! The prototype was even earlier !
@@Sam_Green____4114 I was meaning the coaches are new, there are now 2 midland Pullman sets but the HST’s of course are definitely not new

Try going to camera school. zoom happy to much wind noise shake rattle and roll a great location spoiled by bad camera work
@@brianirwin5529 I’m new to using a camera for filming and am still learning, no need for the negativity.
Not midland.....

It's an HST. Used to commute long distances on them. TOTAL waste of money on microwave meals.
The 5 car set is to have better kitchen facilities
