Inter City 125 / HST
Discussion
Just thought I would start a thread, as the new railway timetable on Sunday will mark the end of HST services into London.
After 40+ years of being the top express train from Paddington, Kings Cross and St Pancras to destinations all over the country, it will only be left on cross country, some GWR services and Scotrail.
Services from Paddington & Kings Cross stopped a while ago, very soon to be followed by St Pancras
.
It is testament to their brilliant design that they continue to provide fast and reliable service and are expected to do so until they are at least 50 years old.
I have travelled to London twice in the last fortnight by HST, with today likely marking the last time I will do so.
Here is a picture from Yesterday with 43102 waiting to depart Alfreton to St Pancras.
