HST Departs Warrington

[southoxon9]

You can't beat the Valenta. Just perfect.

[Class390Freek]

valentas are brilliant

[00VirginTrains1]

Awesome Video 5***** Buddy!

[TechniquestS482]

Love it! Automatically onto my favourites with that one! :-D

[PaxmanValentaClass43]

Great footage, amazing video. Virgin Class 43 with Valenta Engines.

[djmadboy2]

wow 1st 2006 video iv found

[Moss235]

If Virgin hadn't got rid of them so quickly they'd still have the cross country franchise

[rammergramps]

thank you for sharing this

[DarkRage960]

what was the rear hst power car

[DarkRage960]

haha bone shaker at the end ruined it. i remember once when a virgin hst called into reading. dont know why but the virgin hst's sound noisier than the other valentas

[Moss235]

Strange that because I think that the current cross country HST MTU's sound noisier than FGW's

[DarkRage960]

i havent noticed that yet but i will investigate

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

smashing vid

[123jono]

Was that train on the euston-liverpool???

[mststv]

[mststv]

RIP velenta

sadly i never saw a HST departing warrington when i found this station voagers and pendos had allready took over

[IDOANYVIDS]

do you know how rare a virgin hst is

[CeTrains]

You dont get them anymore...some are being refurbished and are entering service with CrossCountry later in the year

[klhsm]

the hst was preety noiesy but thats what makes the great

[mststv]

wat year was dat

[37372]

Great stuff I remember those well.

[Calfaeairdrie]

Where was this HST going to.

[kimbja98]

Hehe, I love how that other train comes bouncing and trundling in at the end!

[CeTrains]

Thats why they are called Class 142 'Bouncy Castles'

[HSTHoward]

beasts all the way stupid voyagers replaced those and how i miss them

[Alstom1995]

Unfortunately from the moment Virgin bought the Hst's they never looked after them and gave them the proper maintenance and cleaning they deserved.

[MTUrules]

I forgot to add in my previous post, 43006 is still performing like this for GNER. Long may it continue....

[JGHGFF]

It now looks compleatley different

[Trowbridgejim]

I heard yesterday it may be next up for MTUtion:(

[ixion172]

The only way to drive a HST is notch 5 or nothing. BIG UP Derby VXC Drivers.

[supervoyager]

Brilliant Vid mate!!!

[nightfire620]

Being of Virgin stock, it probly got 200 yds out of camera shot and failed!

[Trowbridgejim]

Very good, was he an enthusiast driver?!

[MTUrules]

Nope. That's typical VXC driving. Either notch 5 or nothing....

[jimbus3000]

....or the train fails!

[kiyran]

hellfire

[fgw43153]

have you anymore of virgin hst's as there is a lack of them here typical as they are my favourite lol

[fgw43153]

proper train working for virgin,

[dod4luce]

whats that other thing? a bus? LOL

[Yownanymous]

It's a Class 142 Pacer. They're a bit like the sprinters, and they often use the same timetables as the 150.

[victorspencer12]

a bouncy castle

[ekin1972]

Nice Video. Also nice to see 43006 in Virgin livery before it went to GNER.

[RapidAssistant]

That horrible little Pacer coming in the other direction says it all about how good and how bad BR rolling stock could be!

[pauleyd80]

God, this takes me back to happier days!! Warrington is my local main line station, no voyagers back then!!

[delticmatt]

WHEN WAS THIS MATE? are hsts back with virgin?

[oubliettehoggle]

This is about 3-4 years ago, not sure of exact date.
