The first episode in Video 125's HST WEST trilogy begins at London's Paddington Station, the traditional home of the Great Western Railway.
Filmed in 1993, we travel aboard a British Rail InterCity 125 High Speed Train running at up to 125 miles an hour. We run non-stop to Reading, call at Swindon, Bath and Bristol Temple Meads. En route we see the Didcot Railway Centre to discover a little more about the broad gauge. Box tunnel's hidden eastern portal is seen from the cab. After Bristol TM, we travel down to Exeter, this section having been edited down to half real time.

Forget Star Wars, HST West is the greatest trilogy ever made.

I fully agree had fond memories of watching them with my dad as kid

That was money well spent for me both this and the other HST title to Plymouth and Penzance not to mention a fantastic tune for introducing these fantastic DVD's

Thanks for your endorsement Ken.

The HST West trilogy is highly recommended. This one shows the old Inter-City route at its finest, before the Heathrow Express "knitting" went up, and before privatisation, with 1st generation NSE DMUs still pottering around the slow lines.

I have the whole trilogy. And I love it.

And Anton Rogers was starting to narrate the Old Bear TV series, at around the time this driver's eye view was made! Those who were born in the late 1980s will remember!

I got this I'm very pleased

I thought I recognised the voice of the narration from somewhere, I first heard of Anton Rodgers in 1993 (when I was 4 years old), when he narrated the children's stories Old Bear (although it only took me until now to make the connection)

@video125com 3 года назад

He was one of the highest paid voice overs in the UK at the time due to his high profile and excellent tone. He is sadly missed.

very nice video :)

We have just looked at this preview and am sorry to see a commercial that has intruded onto it. Video 125 has not instigated this nor do we profit from it. We are 100% against commercials on our previews. We will try and get it or any others removed. Thanks for pointing it out.

I love your movie ! These trains are the equivalent our French "RTG" (Turbotrains) except for the motorization, who works with a gas turbine as helicopters. But these RTG are unfortunately crossed off :/ Greetings of France ;)

If only Brunel could have seen his railway played with Simon May's Holiday suite and a montage of HST's. Can you imagine Brunel's critics of the day seeing this? Anyway I well remember these videos and the first one made HST West (Exeter to Saltash) was made in 1986/87 I believe and on there there are the remains of semaphore signals and Chocolate & Cream Pacers!! Not to mention a spotlessly clean 50011 Centurion (the first 50 withdrawn) departing Exeter for Waterloo. Good times.....

London to Edinburgh up the East Coast is called The Flying Scotsman. Details on our website. London to Glasgow up the West Coast is called The Royal Scot.

I wonder if the chaps designing and building the HST prototype back in the early 70's had any clue their "temporary" creation would still be forming the backbone of UK services beyond 2012? I know electrification is coming to this corner of the UK soon, but will whatever new trains they decide to build even match the comfort, toughness and longevity of these great beasts? Let alone surpass them!

@video125com 12 лет назад

I wish all commercials were as comprehensive as this, then they would be more watchable. How do you suggest we encapsulate a 90 minute production on RU-vid otherwise?

I would value a catalogue and order form so I can get my local train-buff store to stock some of your DVDs. Can you please provide me with a link or something?
