Excellent video, I've been driving HSTs from Hereford to Padd since 2003, all replaced with 800's now, just not the same. I miss the challenge of driving HSTs over this route, love this vid, spent many a night sat on the platform waiting for the last train to Newport after parking up the last one from Padd, we used to stable it in the siding overnight. Cheers Rich
Thank you, yes will miss the HSTs. I can remember when they took over from the 47s and 50s.i use to love going down to Paddington in the mark 1s and then mark 2s,good memories.

I used to use Hereford station when this was shot, really enjoyed your video.
Many thanks, hard to believe i filmed this back in 1993,it doesn't seem so long ago.
What a wonderfully unspoilt station at this time with a great variety of rolling stock passing through. Great footage.
Many thanks,lots of changes on the marches line now miss the 1980s and 1990s.
hoping to do 00 gauge layout of hereford where can i find the drwing for the station bilding so i can make it
Nice to see the silver bullets when they were actually still silver!
Excellent Rob :)
Thanks,i got more to post when i get time.Not sure what's on them.
Good footage.
Thank you.
I think it only stopped a couple of years ago. The train now runs from the Continent via the tunnel I believe.
What service was the 47+37 with assorted coaches running?
I think it was a ecs working ,sad to say i know longer have any records from that time.
@@railhereford That would explain it, I thought it seemed a bit unusual!
Yes it was a good look train,i am not sure when the woking stopped.
