I'm an HST fan mate, and there's more to this legendary train than it's engine. It's design(timeless) and comfort on board just to mention a couple. They could put a GM engine in them for all I care(as long as they're good engines!!) if it keeps them going. Why? Because no "replacement" produced yet has even come close. But for the record I will miss the valentas, but I don't think the mtus sound that bad at all!! Thanks mate.
Does anyone know if CrossCountry will be using some of NXEC/EMT HST's this Summer?

Because Virgin cross country used to hire an HST from GNER or Midland Main Line to run an extra train to the south west of England.
