22/12/2010 - The very last Valenta HST (Class 43) service - for a decade (43123 on York-Sunderland)

Firstly I must apologise for the error in the timing of arrival to York - it was about 1600, not 1700!
This was an unforgettable 21st birthday present - the opportunity to see the very last Valenta-powered HST service departing. It is a privilege to live close enough to the Valenta's final stamping ground to witness this, and that I was able to get a lift to York in time.
This must surely be the last time a Valenta-powered Class 43 will be heard starting up in public - until the HSTs go into preservation.
Music used is Barber -"Adagio for Strings" and Puff Daddy & Faith Evans - "I'll Be Missing You".
