that just sounds like a flipping tube train now i mean common they are really killing a bygone age with this

[ciarang8235]

they better not do that with the hst the top reason i like it is because of the scream

[1madaboutguitar]

Acceleration :-)

@CharlieeXD they are diesel units not duel voltage the only way to fit a pantograph to a hst is to fit it to a mk3 coach like with nmt but then they would be shit

I'm more intrigued to see a HST on the great central railway.

I Prefer the Valenta Engine! Nice vid mate! 5*

[CharlieeXD]

They should not put mtu engines in them but fitting pantographs and 91 engines! Obviously only on the national express hsts that run on the ecml. I reckon that'd look well good

[CharlieeXD]

I think it sounds nice! They shouldn't be changing them all to mtus but putting 91 engines in them and fitting pantographs I reckon. They'd look alrite tbh and they'd be faster an they'd be able to accelerrate quicker as well. An the government would like them bc they'd be 'green'
