We are aware that as we operate the last two High Speed Train Power Cars in the country (maybe even in the world) to have the original Paxman Valenta power units, that before they go off to be re-engined rail fans would like us to plan a farewell trip with them. We have been planning various possible options for this but cannot hit on a date or itinerary yet because we do not know when the two Power Cars (43084 and 43123) are going to have to be input to the refurbishment plant. In effect we need this date and will then work backwards to a date for any special run. It also depends on whether the HST set coming out of the refurbishment plant needs any rectification or post Works exam before entering passenger use and therefore releasing the last two Power Cars, not to mention weather and the relative health of the last two Power Cars.
When we can firm up a date and a schedule with our industry partners, we will post the details on this page.
In the meantime you can of course travel on our HSTs in normal scheduled timetable use on our North Eastern route, which subject to their availability will include 43084 and/or 43123.
Thankyou for your patience.
