The Midland Venturer // 43159 + 43089 // 28/10/23

A pair of HSTs made a nostalgic return to the MML and into London, 2 and a half years after their retirement along the route.
Seen at London St Pancras International and Luton, MTU 43159 in its stunning Midland Mainline livery and VP185 43089 in old EMT colours work the inbound charter from Ilkeston, the ECS movement to Cricklewood and the return working up towards the East Midlands.
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks man, it honestly was so good to see a HST again. The vp185 thrash I got at Luton was insane, hope to see the pair out again soon

[@flying_scotsman_60103]

Yeh I'm hoping to see them when they run again hopefully the rear hst could be fitted with vp185

I was unable to see it because I went to a model railway that got cancelled last second
