The Valenta HST Scream - HSTs at Swindon

Scenes from 11th July 1994 before the new platform 4 was built at Swindon. Down HST's had a rather torturous arrival and departure from platform 3 but plenty of clag was often to be seen as they finally rejoin the down fast.
We see;
20:15 Paddington to Weston super Mare, departing Swindon at 21:19.
20:00 Paddington to Swansea service departing at 2059

I can't get over the picture quality of this video. It is like ultra HD.

The latest Ona a Paddington is even better, the software improves month by month

[@Croongetuige]

Lovely video!!!

Best trains in the world. Fastest most capable the Class 43 HST. Sounds best with a Valenta that Napier turbo screaming. Awesome machines. I didn’t like the MTU’s at launch but they grew on me, brilliant German engineering.

Nice video and proper swallow livery

Beltin! There's quite a lot of rocking and rolling there as they make their way in and out and of course, there's always some wazzock who gets in the way ;)

Cheltenham bound trains were a sight to see on departure from Swindon Platform 3, as they frequently would notch up to full power momentarily!

[@thehogfat]

Shame there wasnt one when i was there, sounds good

[@paulknightley]

Nice…I always found that from somewhat larger stations like Reading, or Swindon, the departures were often a bit more polite…but once you got away to smaller stations, e.g. Pewsey, Totnes, to name just a couple of random ones, often they’d get thrashed:

It's a wonder they stayed on the tracker...seen smoother rails in a quarry!

Nowadays westbound services at Swindon go straight off the new Platform 1.

[@seankirby2580]

First class

And with Jacob Rhys-Mogg driving one of them too (around 2:00).

[@thehogfat]

😂

[@markcf83]

Must be a doppelganger for the Moggster.

[@nickrockall2845]

A few class 37 stabled

[@rog37685]

Proper traction

[@whitekasimir3752]

I wonder how those trains are dancing over the tracks. British Rail didn´t give much money to work at it, right?

[@thehogfat]

The rest of the line is really smooth
Just that bit that’s rubbish 😂
