INTERCITY 125 - BRITAINS HIGH SPEED TRAIN 1976 to 2006

A documentary about the design, introduction and rise of what would become perhaps Britain's greatest ever train, the HST.
Designed by the great Sir Kenneth Grange, the HST would eventually become not only a speed setter, but the greatest passenger train possibly ever built.
From British Rail to privatisation, via the Intercity 125 executive colours, to the famous Intercity Swallow, this shows the transfer of power from British Rail to operators such as GNER, First Great Western, East Midlands Trains, Virgin Crosscountry and filmed across the UK
