  • This is great. Thanks.

  • Nice vid. Love that livery on the hst. Thanks for sharing

  • Yep, the Class 50's are(were) great, but so is that classic original livery on the 125..

    it was good to be reminded again after all this time. Nice upload, thanks

  • @meirion500 1985 (Says in the description) :)

  • Superb. The video made my day. What year was it?

  • Another thumbs up here. I remember the great days of BR but I had no camera so videos like this are a godsend.

  • yeahhhhhhhh!!! i miss the old days of br when they didn't give a shit as long as trains ran! i bet the rule book just said 'fucking turn up - we don't care how pissed you are!' drivers raced each other and the public enjoyed some decent thrash! when i was a guard at piccadilly we used to race virgin expresses out of stockport towards picc on 323's - mild compared to this!!!

  • Listen to that Valenta scream, beauty!

  • Awesome footage, had to admit my money was on the HST though! Top video!

  • That was getting good...the 50 seemed to gain for a short while, but the 125 must have been teasing, man did he put his foot down.
