Oh very cool. So good to see that people are finding so much interesting retro material. Rather amusing that Class 222 Meridians are retro now, but the old Midland Mainline liveries certainly are. How nice the teal & tangerine was.
I really do miss the amazing MML sky blue and light green livery it's looked so good on the class 43s and 222s I just wished they could bring back the amazing livery we all loved but it's never going to happen such a shame
I'll have to spare time to watch the whole video but its nice, especially during these covid restrictions, to be reminded of what use to be. On my Kindle, on 'My first Trainz set', the HST you get to drive actually has a Paxman Valenta engine in it 😍. Thanks for sharing 🙂👍! Edit (02/11/20): Yep, watched the whole video which was fantastic 🙂👍!
Very good video, during project rio 2003/04,mml did hire in a first great western hst set, 43003/005,doing St Pancras - Manchester Piccadilly diagrams, had it for a run Leicester - Derby.
I didn't know that those headlights of the Class 43s at 0:09 were around back then. I thought that those ones came about in 2006 to replace the original headlights at 0:24 completely by 2008. I do miss seeing those original ones.
Brings back memories of when you could go to the buffet coach on MM and get 4 free cups of coffee, then take back to your single seat…. I wonder how much potential profit was lost in the 10+ years MM gave away tea & coffee for free
Great to see the old station at Pancras...
Back when the livery was by far one of the best out there.
Og or remake?
@@ashleyjiscool OG.

Very good video especially St Pancras before its transformation. :)
Ah the old Valenta sound. Thanks for the video.
Great video. Nice to see footage from back then.
2:47 OMG I remember them old announcements
Excellent video mate, nice trip back a couple of years.
wow, been a while since I saw one of these "2003/2004" videos from you! great stuff :)
Very nice selection of films
I really miss the old announcement chimes and voice at 2:48
Do they still exist anywhere?

You should have been around in the 70s almost everything was loco hauled it was brilliant.
@@trainandbusfan5706 ye my dad was and the things he tells me about them is inspirational
Lovely to hear those engines screaming... but I really miss being able to stand on the platform and really feel the power of it as it passed by...

The Class 317 units,of course, were new for the BedPan line when electrified in the early 80's.
Nice archive footage and valenta scream.
I like the trains lines from early 2000s

Cool
Bring them back
Who would of thought the 66 from 2003 hasn’t been updated inside of 2021 or 2015?
Wish I was around when the valentas were still in service
