Description

The High Speed Train, also known as the InterCity 125, has arguably been the most successful diesel design ever produced for Britain’s railways. Starting in the mid-1970s, this iconic type brought new standards of passenger comfort and speed to many of our main lines. More than 40 years later, many HSTs are still going strong.

This 2020 programme covers the whole of the UK where the High Speed Trains have run regular passenger services, including:-
