For almost 50 years, High Speed Trains (HSTs) have been the
mainstay for express services for many operators in the UK. While
they were used extensively by British Rail - even being dubbed the
saviour of British Rail' - these trains have been used by other
operators as well, including East Coast, Midland Mainline, and
Virgin CrossCountry. However, following their mass withdrawal in
2018-19, when the Hitachi bi-mode units came on the scene, many of
the HSTs were put into storage, or, sadly, scrapped altogether.
Fortunately, not everyone followed suit. Some operators have been
reconsidering their potential in recent times. Colas Rail acquired
some to use as test trains operated for Network Rail, and
Locomotive Services Ltd have two dedicated charter sets that are
used throughout the UK. Illustrated with over 230 images, this book
follows on from HSTs: The Western Region. It shows HSTs over the
past 20-30 years, in numerous UK locations, highlighting why they
have served so long and why they should be saved.
