A sad end to a very long and successful era. The best train ever built by the former British Rail, an icon of the national rail system for the past 47 years. Nothing else will stand the test of time like these have, brilliant.
@@RailwayTavern Luckily, 11 Intercity 125 units were sent to Mexico to work on a new corridor there, at least some will remain in service for a longer time.

I travelled on one last week. Getting off I tapped the side knowing that I may never ride a HST again.
😢❤🕊️
Many will miss them, nothing on the horizon to replace them, Britain's rail network will be much lesser without them
The end of a era, nice to see one in the British rail blue and yellow and the swallow livery
Yes wonderful retro livery paint jobs
The age of the train is over!
Good turn out 4 a old friend.
Nice clip 🍻 cheers
Yes a great turn out!
Shame to see them go, The new trains aren't a patch on the 125's that's for sure.
And yet the DFT is forcing these changes on the train operating companies and on the british public with nothing proper to replace them
@@RailwayTavernDfT to most operators: "Get 80X family or be obliterated"
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Thanks 👍🏼
Brings and end to the age of the train
I fear you are right there buddy. We need a serious rethink in this country for rail travel
This won’t be the last HST to leave Leeds. There will be rail tours etc.
Last in service pathed to run at 125.
