The HST shots start after a minute.

This is a tribute to Britain's most successful intercity train - the HST, with backing by Queen's "The show must go on". The video features the best of the footage I have shot over the past year, including plenty of run-throughs, as well shots of the HST accelerating from a standing start. I have done my best to syncronise it with the music.

  • excellent choice of music,fucking love queen and valentas so it matches perfectly :)

  • OMG iv love to see a HST in APT livery, that would be cool. I do think the HST should always be in the BR Swallow Livery

  • Absolutly fantastic. Regarding the 2 passing "125s", if your luck is anything like my luck I bet you were thinking "GOTCHA" Ive been waiting all day for that to happen"......lol

  • not sure on that, but it has a good chance if it is loco based and it is not electric.

  • I wonder if it would do as well as or better then the HST. Or would it fail like the APT.

  • nope but if the 222 was capable in excess of 140mph i wouldnt mind it being so. its the HST2 which is the next one, cant wait for it!!

  • I thought that it was the Class 222 that were replacing the HST or is that the HST2?

  • the iep/hst2 are replacements for the hst, i believe one is electric and one is diesel, not sure on that

  • Well. The APT-E was a train that didn't need electrification and it was more successful Then the APT-P.

    P.S. What's the IEP/HST2?

    TBH I think that I would like the APT and the HST to be both running at the same time span.

  • it would have looked awesome mate, they should have had a diesel apt, i think that would have been more sucessful. lets wait for the IEP/HST2
