InterCity 125 HSTs at speed (ECML)

- The British Rail Class 43 HST, also known as the InterCity 125, is a UK High Speed Train.
The class were built by BREL at Crewe works between 1975 & 1982 and to this day they remain dominant on many mainlines in the United Kingdom.
They are the fastest diesel locomotive in the world, with an absolute maximum speed of 148 mph, and regular service speed of 125 mph.
All HSTs in this video are installed with MTU 16V4000 engines, which replaced the Paxman Valenta 12RP200L.
Here is a selection of clips I have of the HSTs at speed in many different locations on the East Coast Mainline such as: Stevenage, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark Northgate, Retford, Northallerton, Durham, Chester-le-Street & Alnmouth for Alnwick.
All trains in this video are running at speeds between 50mph & 125mph. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I loved these trains. I designed the engine control system for the four power cars that had the Mirrlees MB190 engines fitted. I spent many months traveling with them. The specifications I was given did not include the top speed limiter so when a power car with an MB190 fitted there was not the top speed limit. I was travelling in the trailing power car which got up to 143mph in normal service. Unfortunately for the driver there was an inspector with me. He was not happy. They were certainly quick getting out of the stations and up to speed. The drivers loved them. Thanks for sharing your video. 🙂
I'm going to miss the HST when it's gone. This has always been my favourite train since a kid. :(
It’s gonna be around until 2040 at least apparently.
@@teeps8124 wait really?
As much as I love class HST’s and IET’s, the hst sadly has to go.
Smokeybooboo0308 Ikr That's A Fav Of Mine, It's Gonna Be Badly Missed
It’s gonna be around forever it has so much revolutionised the railway it will probably stay way past your death.
great vid shows the power and speed of these trains. they still look good now 39 years on from new
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic videoing what a train still going strong for the moment. 41 years on long live the IC125... Andy
@Houston Izaiah and t a bot
Nice touch there at 35.50, the driver tooting his horn to say hello back at the guy with his kid. :D
Cool video. Nice work.
AaronArmstrong030792 Cheers:)
AaronArmstrong030792 That's cute
I doubt we'll ever see a better built train replacing these :) They are truly an engineering marvel
There indestructible
They will never die
Mbta 1034 Productions i heard the IET’s replaced most of them
ShortzYT Transit & Gaming Still they will never die
@@Vxllain Cheap and tacky mass-produced rubbish! A great difference from British specialist engineering at its best. And one can forget performance here too - just check passenger comfort too...
nice vid. btw, that random guy lying on the ground enjoying himself @0:16 LoL
27:11 I love how the windows seems to stay perfectly still thanks to the rolling shutter
It's satisfying isn't it?
I cant believe GWR got rid of these magnificent machines... long live the HST ❤
@Jessica Clark do they, i went to newark and they were running em up the east coast, but i guess they could be going up to scotland
I ligit can’t stop watching this 😍, flippen love this video of these HSTs 👍🏻. Also BTW GBRF spotter Uk 🇬🇧 was my old yt channel so this is my new one so url still have my old comment on there, but yeah can’t stop watching this vid over and over again constantly, that’s how good it is 🔥👍🏻.
Thank you so much 😊
This is a great engineering achievement in locomotives ( trains). I had enjoyed my train journeys in 1980 - 1985 ; when i studied in the UK. Yes, very good memories back then.
Beatifull trains perfect in memorie to Mr.Diesel and his ideas.
Brilliant video. I love this train.
I used to drive the 43's out of Kings X up the ECML... With 4500 hp under the bonnet ( 2250 hp ) one up front and one up the botty there was plenty of power on tap... Pulling out of the station on notch five with the Paxman Valenta turbo's screaming their little heads off and clouds of exhaust smoke ( sorry Greta Thunberg ) was something to behold with more excitement to enjoy... 125 mph here we come although they would top 148 mph... Now there is food for thought but as I did not fancy tea and biscuits with the Boss well need I say more..
Great video, loved it! I really love the HSTs, so thank you for capturing them for us in this wonderful video.
+Ben Reid Thank you!
When these were first built ABBA were still belting out their hits, as were Queen & even Elvis Presley:) Yes, HSTs are old but they've stood the test of time for over 30 years & they're more graceful than any new DMU.
The intercity 125 is still operating up until to this day. I sometimes watch this video during this ongoing covid19 pandemic. This train will surely be missed when it's no longer hitting the rails.
Glad you enjoyed. I miss them on the ECML. At least Cross Country are still using them
@@ECMLexpress Yeah. The intercity 125's a legendary diesel train and one of the fastest as well. Cross country might still use this train until their franchise ends in october so probably their class 43 hst's will be sent to abellio scotrail or east midlands.
Awesome video well done great catches
Chicken Gamer thanks mate
What a massive collection! It is clear how dominant and powerful the legendary HST remains and i think it shall remain in years to come! Magnificen tshots in so many locations that show the beauty of the UK and railways. Many greetings from Greece. Hopefully i will be able to catch these while i will be in England, by September!
Panos G - On the Greek rails since 2008 Thankyou!
Panos G - On the Greek rails since 2008 They will be replaced in a few years time on the EC and GW mainlines, so get em while you can!
Owen Evans I believe ScotRail have aquired some for the long distance intercity routes to replace the 170s (they're being cascaded to replace 156s) but there's no chance of them doing 125mph+ on these lines.
That's right, Scotrail are getting a batch, although they will be short-formed.
Wish we had such engines like these in the US.
FLNY Mike well there’s the Acela
The closest thing we have to a hst is a P42DC and they only go 110mph
Mbta 1034 Productions And we also have the ACS-64, but the P42DC is awesome too
ShortzYT Transit & Gaming true but he was talking diesel because the 43 is diesel
America has shitty trains
These staions *exist peacefully*
This train : *_NYOOOOOOM_*
Great video,well put together.Subscribed :)
Jonnyvalenta glad you enjoyed :)
I love HST125 👍👍 Great video 👏👏👏
To day the Intercity 125 lives on in a new livery, EAST COAST. Looking great.
Evan after 40 years of service the class 43 still looks really modern.
Thanks to a Facelift. If they had their original headlights they wouldn't look so modern I'll tell you that much lol
+dennis trident william Do quite like the original lights on the HST, but yeah. The facelift definitely made it look fresher.
AaronArmstrong030792 the old lights look good, but ONLY if they were clean' if they was dirty it would make them look rather ugly
The clip at 24:20 makes tears form in my eyes. I think it's because of the darkness, plus the sounds of the MTU as she speeds off in the distance. Great video buddy, I hardly cry to a TH-cam video lol
3 things I'll miss from these the most: the sound, the quietness of carridges, and the window hanging. Fare well from gWr on the Thames Valley line, they'll be gone soon :(
Ever run into Chief Inspector Morse?
Awesome trains. They look fabulous in that East Coast livery imho
Cool pics
Subscribed!
Beautiful livery
HST's are the best!Man
My favourite locomotive of all time.
HSTs were great at speed on the East Coast Mainline
Should never get rid of the h.s.t. brilliant trains
Ah. Such beautiful diesels! Other diesel locos are not British steam beautiful like the 125.
Wow excellent shot at 32:00
Cheers :)
can't get better than the 43
Someone flushed the toilet at 6:06 and you stood there while at full speed the HST dragged all that atomised urine through the station in its wake, lets just hope it dissipated before it got to you. Great video by the way.
A 125 and 225 passing. Virgin East cost. Good old 43 class HSTs.
Some great shots of the Eighteen Arches at Alnmouth. Mischevous driver gave you a fright at 34.32!?!
Good
Amtrak UA Turbostar was not diesel, it was a gas turbine engine. The 125 still holds the world record for the fastest diesel train.
+Colin Tindale Besides, it lasted for a relatively short time and was unreliable. Nothing to do with the unequaled career of the HST 125s.
Hst once reached 148 mph
Heartbreaking that these are disapearing on the western mainline and the midland mainline.You will only see these on the XC routes.
Good old HST
LNER should change the colour of the trains to blue/red, like the Grand Central. They’d look so much smarter than the Virgin leftovers
On the ECML
The Electric Pendolino - Class 91 and 82 DVT
The Diesel Voyager: The class 43 INTERCITY 125
Don't forget the 222 & 180
+Daniel Ward and it's demu for voyager
24:20 had to be as fast as our Acela Express. At least 140-145 MPH
Nope 125.
Sad that they will be replaced by non British built trains
The HSTs always appear to be going faster than the 91s and far faster than the new Azumas only the tilting units appear to be going at the same speed.
At 6:12 ish... was that an axle that locked up? something was smoking.
John Papp I believe it was the toilet flushing
2 minutes in, liked, faved + subd
Thankyou!
I thought I recognised my home town. (Peterborough)
Was it mk4 rake at 6:17 ?
Arnab Dhar Choudhury nope mk3s
Is that Durham station?
Arnab Dhar Choudhury yeah
i would like to see one going 148 miles per hour
35:58
What is that noise at 17:41 and 18:00?
It’s the “Train Approaching” alarms at Grantham Station. I don’t think they are used anymore though.

Good video, but please at least try & shield the mic from the wind.
How did virgin take over the ecml
From memory they won the franchise.
This train class has also electric couterpart using similar design
The intercity 225
see the buzz when one of these boys hurtles passed you brill
INTERCITY 125 old train hsts at speed ,ecml,
Intercity 125 top speed 125mph
Prince ryan balang it’s actually 148.5mph they are just limited to 125
32:19 Anyone know the name of this station?
Eddie's Adventures alnmouth
Please can you do a video call virgin super voyagers on WCML
That’s not an IC125 it’s a BR Class 43
ecmlexpress
Actually the fastest Diesel train in the world is the Amtrak UA Turbostar with a Top speed of 170mph
That isn't a diesel train, it's turbine powered, and it's not even the fastest turbine train TGV 001 is
+ploopy523 The InterCity 125, the current confirmed record holder as the fastest diesel-powered train at 148 mph (238 km/h); is made up of two power cars, one at each end of a fixed formation of carriages; capable of 125 mph (201 km/h) in regular service. It is not turbine powered, strictly diesel only.
Aston Martin semi-permanent coaches. They like to swap coaches round every now and then.
I like to call this class 43 rather than intercity 125.
why in a world diesel trainset on electrified rail ?
They serve places that aren't electrified
220015 goes upto 128mph
+Daniel Ward That's a DMU. The HST is the fastest diesel locomotive
Daniel Ward only 128?
43's fastest speed was 148 once boi :P
The rot will set in. Hitachi rubbish on the way. Nice footage.
Edward Pearce Thanks
Edward Pearce Hitachi build very reliable trains
Reliable they say. First one to carry passengers breaks it's flipping air con :\
Dreadful camera work!
