Some of you may appreciate to know that tomorrow evening, the curtain falls for the last scheduled HST 125 train to leave London Paddington.
After 42 years sterling service, four of the last full HST sets will leave Paddington one after the other for points west, the end of an era on the Western Region.
Fine British engineering, millions of miles thrashed to death at 125mph and still plenty of life in them.
The last ones off Padd on Saturday evening should be (subject to change etc)
18:03 Plymouth
18:15 Cheltenham Sp
18:22 Hereford
1830 Exeter
Cheers
