The Last shots I took of the Cross Country HST's. Including its last public service. Sad times.....

I no I'd already done a Compilation for the farewell to the HST, but I couldn't leave it without adding the last footage I took. A bit of a part 2 really. Surely missed, a void of emptiness.....

[@ernestbailey9194]

Totally agree, a real success story. Makes you wonder what is going on as some of the new trains are so uncomfortable, but I loved the HST'S. Longest journey I travelled on was Wakefield to Penzance many years ago. Just went for a 3 day break. We loved it.

Great vid that! Makes me sad though! Such a terrible waste. The 125s will always have a special place in my heart. They will be sorely missed.

[@ontrackrailfilms1652]

For some reason I didn't bother to go out for em. I think I would have if they still had the Paxman power units fitted.
