HST South West summer 1991

[dod4luce]

still sad. love this video

[vectorm1299]

IC at the very least should not have been privatised.

To much red tape between the ROSCO's, TOC, NR, DfT, RAIB, ect....

Much prefered IC when it was under one name (i know it was BR)

I'd prefer to see the entire rail system go back to "The Big Four" type of running.

If BR never happened what trains would we have now?

I was 5 when this was recorded, don't remmeber alot, but i remmeber the Valenta reducing me to tears as a 5 yr old in Darlington station. Every weekend with my late grandad

[vectorm1299]

I now volunteer for the NRM Shildon, slowly creeping towards my guards man ticket, then onto my fireman training :)

Would love to go mainline, but they say you should never meet ur heros (work for them in this case)

Hope NRM take a mk3 IC 9 car set + 4 power cars (all valenta's) into preservation.

IC set + 2 Power cars

1 Power car as spares.

1 power for stripping parts to retro-fit the prototype power car (41 001) at York

[HSTgreat]

now this livery brings back memories. if it wasnt for this livery i dont think i wd love trains as much as i do now :)

[Puffyclunge]

Yo G. I went on that site. I couldn't move for the tits on that site. Same goes for youtube when people spam. Good shit G, always like to see some clag.

[Megametro001]

Loving the double Valentas in the video, 5*! I wish I was able to film more Valenta-powered HST sets! :) Most of the power cars in that region are now predominantly MTUs.

[ACranesvideos]

exellent collection you have there!

[cmeonthemove]

Was the power car passing under the bridge at 2.28 dead?

[dod4luce]

I keep coming back to this video for the 1.49 sound. and what acceleration!!!

[milepost326]

Yes it's a touch hellfire at 1.49 but what about the guy with two cameras on a single tripod who appears to have NOT taken a picture! I wonder if he now, today regrets it!!!!!

[dod4luce]

I did notice that. What a wally!! LOL

[waldenhouse]

It's sad that people make such foul comments on footage like this - this is class amateur footage and deserves better comment. I can just imagine Anton Rodgers' commentary on this. God Rest his Soul. Brilliant video. Well done!

[HSTHoward]

something's wrong i miss heaven noise

[GinoDuke]

Hey Howard,

I'm assuming you are a driver?, is the Devon coast line not the nicest weaving trainline, with the best scenery that health and safety has not touched!

I am envious of all who drive this line.

[class313]

He isn't a driver. He is 13 and lives in Tonbridge, with no HSTs ;).

Good vid though milepost326 =]

[HSTHoward]

you say that exact text every time ur very suspecious and im looking out for u.

[WakefieldJunction]

anyone could get onto the tracks there!!!

[retroglide2000]

they could, but then they'd be idiots.

[Infrontcat]

1:49

Just a Moment in Time

But by crikey it sounds like heaven

When the London bound

Makes that throttle-up sound

On its way through pictureque Devon

What a wonderful sound it is. Watched it so many times and it STILL makes the hairs on my arms stand up :D

[wolf5172]

yay, i love the intercity swallow livery, especially on the class 37 ^^

[Hyperen]

Beautiful

[GinoDuke]

I dunno what it is about these 125's but I think they are awsome trains. I think it's the turbo engines at each end, just listen to the rear engine about 1.49 when he decides to throttle up after the corner.

[bluesgunner]

These units never looked better than when they were in this livery.

[slymills]

i think the sound at 00:30 is the sound of the wheels on the tracks.....

[sammurray317]

hiya, can anyone tell me what the whooping sound is at 0.30, cheers

[mrmbta]

cool, funny at the start that person seems oblivious to the train right beside him/her

[dod4luce]

fave sound at 1.49. watch it go!!

[ACranesvideos]

Good filming! (125's ~ The best trains in the world!)

[peak45]

400%

[dod4luce]

[pauleyd80]
