Last HST Service to Stop at Chesterfield Ever!

In this video, we capture the final southbound CrossCountry HST service, the 1V44 Leeds to Plymouth with 43321 & 43378 doing the honours being the last HST passenger service to stop at my local station of Chesterfield!
We capture the 1V44 arriving from Sheffield and departing platform 2 for Derby for the final time with the driver giving some nice tones as the HSTs bid farewell to calling at Chesterfield.
Overall it was an honour to see this very sad but historic occasion for my local station after 41 years from 1982 to 2023. All my life I have grown up with HSTs calling at Chesterfield be it with Midland Mainline, CrossCountry, East Midlands Trains & East Midlands Railway this certainly was an emotional one!

I know absolutely nothing about trains and railways - but the HST is one train that I always used to stop and watch- the sheer power that it appears to give off as it pulls away and the "thrum" noise it makes at speed made it a remarkable achievement of design and quality engineering. Glad Scot rail still operate this fine machine.

The HST,s will definitely be missed on Cross Country Trains as they missed at London Kings Cross, & London St Pancras, London Paddington, as well as Bournemouth, & Portsmouth, It is a sad world on the Railway without the HST,s

Goodbye 👋 class 43 trains 🚊. They are the best trains 🚆 in the world 🌎 because they are fast 💨 and has a large engine. The seats 💺 💺 💺 are super and comfortable. The hopes on all class 43s are up ⬆️ because they take railway 🚃 customers from place to place via place and there’s nothing to complain about these trains 🚆 on the railways 🚃 🚆. I miss the class 43 trains 🚆 because they were good 👍 to me. Unfortunately, most of the class 43s were sent for scrap. Very sad 😔. Poor trains 🚆. I feel sorry 😢 for the class 43s and the train 🚆 drivers that the class 43s were scheduled off lease from these train companies because they were in reliable condition. I remembered travelling 🧭 🧳 on the class 43s from Exeter St Davids to London Paddington via Taunton and Newbury or Bristol Temole Meads in the years 1982 or 1983 were the class 43s had said on the side of the class 43s is Intercity 125. Well, it’s time 🕰️ to move on and things change. Perhaps 🤔 it’s upsetting 😠 that class 43s aren’t part of BR - British Rail anymore except SR - ScotRail since the year 2018 or 2019. 👍👍👍

Midland pullman tho

[@RailView_YT]

This is the final regular passenger service to stop at Chesterfield, everything from now on will just be railtours that stop to pick up or drop off passengers, not service trains.

Beautiful, super tones at the departure

I don't think the Midland Pullman ever went to Chesterfield. The Nottingham service went nowhere near, and the Manchester service turned left just north of Derby. But in many ways it was the forerunner of the HST.

@@grahamwhitworth9454 they mean the Locomotive Services Limited Midland Pullman, a railtour HST set with ex-Midland VP185 powercars and ex-GWR coaches wearing the same livery as the original sets
