Trains - How to get on a Class 43 HST?

[Aidancky]

Hello all!

I'm not a big train geek in any way, but I do appreciate the past history of our trains, and do find them interesting.
I've never been a passenger on a Class 43 HST, and would quite like to - it seems like something that doesn't have long left sadly.

I live near York - whats the best way to get on one? I want to ride one for a short-medium journey, I know i'd likely get on one if I went to Edinburgh or down to London but I want a bit of a shorter journey, since it's purely for pleasure!

Or could someone point me somewhere that maybe lists routes and typical rolling stock used?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help everyone

Update - I managed to get on one unintentionally.

United Airlines decided to change our flight to Heathrow (instead of Manchester) and we last-minute had to get to London pronto.
I was in my element managing to get on one, it had the old slam doors too.

Which route? I didn't think any Class 43's did the route from London to Manchester? Euston to Man Picadilly is mainly Pendalino.

Can't see that any line from Paddington makes sense top get to Manchester?

We got off our Manchester-bound train at Leeds and took a HST from there. Cant remember which TOC now
