- GWR HSTs with Final HST Paddington to Exeter a Dawlish Beach Cams Tribute.
Here's some of our favourite HST footage from the past 5 years of Dawlish Beach Cams.
After 43 years of service, in this video you can see all the aspects and elements that Dawlish has thrown at them.
#LastoftheHSTs #FarewellHSTs
Used to live in Dawlish, now I'm back in Texas. These videos bring me back! Thanks so much for these!
Last of the big boy passenger trains, also last of the passenger trains you can open a window to peer out and absorb all those lovely diesel fumes. They will be greatly missed.
Brilliant compilation of HSTs in all conditions!
A fitting tribute, thankyou for sharing.
Will miss the HST's the sound of the Paxman Valenta thundering along the sea wall is where i got my love for trains!
First time I visited the UK I was pretty young and these were almost brand new. One of my clearest memories of that trip is watching these beasts roaring out of a station.
thanks for some lovely footage.this is one reason I holiday in dawlish most years!! my little nephew is coming this year and he's gonna love the trains on the sea wall.shame he will never get to see the fgw hst.i hope cross country will still have their hst sets
thank you DB Cams, that we can watch these Great Cams on yt! one of my favourite UK trainspotting sites!
I love them they are 2nd favourite trains
Bravo!!
Good old dawlish always looking ruff in the weather lol love the HSTs gonna miss them
Excellent as always dbc
I will be visiting Exeter tomorrow
Really liked the last one, 002 and 198.... the first and last class 43.
@1:51 ive never seen 2 trains going the same way on different tracks...please explain
YES I WANT TO KNOW THAT ASWELL
Class 43s are honestly very trusted by rail staff and customers use the trains. I honestly like the class 43s is because they are comfortable however they are old and ageing their age. It honestly doesn’t matter about the age. Inside the carriages honestly are the class 43s is warm and comfortable to happen to rail staff and customers containing good central heating and carpets. Class 43s honestly were previously used by these rail operators are East Midlands Railway, Grand Central, Hull Trains and London North Eastern Railway. Perhaps class 43s may survive until around the deadline date is Thursday 31st December 2037 in 15 years time from Thursday 22nd September 2022. Now used with 3 train operators are CrossCountry, Great Western Railway and ScotRail part of British Rail. We’ll see how the class 43s go however no promises are likely to happen. Enjoy the train travelling on class 43s and don’t worry about it.
That train is older than me and I'm pretty old
They entered service 2 months and 9 days before I did, and I’m starting to feel very old.
0:45 that is beautiful
0:00 I like that horn
Nice one dawlish.
Well done. Cross Country still running thiers yes. ?
Yes they are and so are LNER but what you don't kmknow is that GWR are still running them
@@SteveFTW5 LNER retired theirs
FidgetBlaze TV did you know that the class 91’s will be running from London Paddington To Cardiff central when all the overhead is complete and then the 91’s will have a green gWr colour
@@SteveFTW5 yep super excited for that
Great tribute to a great train. For sure, I know they will be run as 'short sets'.
1:28 to 1:49, wow, how did that happen?
Here before the video even starts
Thank you.
What’s the difference between these HST and the ones being used for cross country services in Scotland I was using them this week?
These will definitely be missed I hope they will get used somewhere else
Aren't some of them going to Scotland?
Hi
Why are they taking them off there is nothing wrong with them .Nice trains very smooth running
Like everything these days probably down to running costs and they are not that green. The new trains will be greener and more aerodynamic, using both overhead power and diesel on non-electrified sections.
The same reason you don't see too many 40 year old cars still running. Sure, you CAN keep them running, but everything wears out quicker, parts are harder to get, maintenance is more expensive, they're less efficient, and eventually it's more cost-effective to buy something new. Same with these. Hammering along at 125 mph takes a lot out of a train, and these have been doing it several times a day for decades. They're still good for lighter duty up in Scotland but for express trains on the GWML and ECML they really needed something newer.
Plenty of empty seats on that last HST...
Only after Temple Meads, it was certainly full bar one or two empty seats leaving Paddington & that includes GWR seemingly booking first class for themselves under the name P. Gentleman !!
@@mickwalsh1361 Press Gentlemen perhaps?
@@mickwalsh1361 Ah, okay. 😊
