Popular Post Halvarras Posted June 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2023 Some of my........actually all of my photos of the prototype HST 252001 in service on the Western Region in the summer of 1975..... Β First up, not long having passed Wootton Bassett Junction and approaching the top of Dauntsey Bank on 9th May 1975 (apologies for the poor quality of this one, I had to crop it quite a bit but the composition looks reasonable?) I'd passed my driving test the previous day......irrelevant piece of information but thought I'd just drop that inΒ π! However the wheels which got me to this bridge were still pedal-powered as I hadn't yet purchased my first car, a Hillman Super Minx Mark IV, from a colleague at work (yeah, SUPER Minx, not yer average Minx y'know......π!!): Β Two views of leading PC W43000 at Bristol Temple Meads on 10th May 1975: Β And later the same day passing Bedminster Park on approach to BTM, passing 45039 'The Manchester Regiment' (phew, that was close!) - W43001 with its silver/unpainted radiator grille now leading: (Sorry, I don't think the air was green/toxic that day, just my ageing negatives!) Β Three weeks later on 31st May 1975, 252001 departing Swindon........

Trev52A Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Once a familiar sight, now the only regular workings by HSTs at Newcastle are operated by CrossCountry between Plymouth and Edinburgh/Glasgow (apparently only two per day are rostered, one each way). Earlier this week on 12th June this is 43303 at the head of the 12.27 Plymouth-Glasgow crossing the King Edward Bridge over the Tyne into Newcastle (43239 was at the rear). Photographed from the Redheugh Bridge at about 19.40 (it was running late - due in at 19.32) There is also an Edinburgh-Plymouth working due in at 07.38 - too early for me to see it!
