- A handful of HSTs around Inverurie, followed by 47712 propelling the Push-Pull tour. Featured: 47712, DBSO 9707, D9500, 2-HAP 4311, 43036, 43125, 43129, 43141, 43143, 43145, 43152, 43168, 43176, 43179 and a 73.
Some good clips thanks, I recently rode an HST from Inverurie to Inverness and it was a lovely ride. The Push-Pull Tour was good, and you caught a silly family crossing the tracks in front of it. I saw the excursion three times that weekend, and the Class 47 was belching out smoke like on your film on each occasion. Needs an air-filter!
I spotted the family while filming! In their slight defence (they should have looked too!), the alarm at that crossing doesn't give a huge amount of warning, and probably even less for a train passing through non-stop. ;) Many thanks for watching!
The Guards compt always stank of fish after an Aberdeen run.
The cleaning sheds, 10 minutes from the station, sold it at the door.
Very nice video. Old scottish tradition of push-pull should in my opunion be kept by using a non-motorized trailer in one ends of HST sets as 2 locomotives on a 4 car only formation is unnecessarily over powered and fuel consumption on a non Intercity route and the newly refurbished SCOTRAIL charter formation is the best example of the ideal loco hauled temporarily measure, although using the streamlined, more realiable and surplus Mark 3 and Mark 4 spare stock of DVTs instead of DBSOs. Thank you for sharing.
I think the original intention was to have most of ScotRail's HSTs as five-car formations, which may have been a bit much for a single power car to keep 170-timings on, but the driving trailer idea is an intriguing one. Perhaps the DTS vehicles from the Mk3 Class 442 "Wessex" units could have been repurposed! ;)

What is the EPB doing there and what is it's future?
All I know is that it arrived mysteriously sometime last year. I'm assuming that it, the Class 14, the CCTs and the two Class 20/23 bogies are owned by the same person, and are eventually destined for some project, but I've not found any other reference to them yet.
