Valenta HST Heaven at Plymouth in 1995 - HD Remaster 

This is really Heaven there is no other words that can describe this Wonderful story and memory of Great HST jet sound 😊😂🎉😮😊

What a sensory overload with all that noise, brake smells, wafts of diesel, vibrating platform, thumping in your chest, awesome! Thankyou for sharing

Iam from Plymouth and as a youngster i remember these trains,noise was incredible,turbo screaming and noise ill never forget

Excellent video!! Beautiful screaming sounds and definitely Intercity travels best time!! I live in Plymouth and its amazing how unchanged the station is since the 90s!!

I love the sound of that Turbo of these iconic trains. I would love to have a driver experience on one of these in the future. Thanks for the video share. I would be glad to buy a copy on DVD.

Noisy, smoky, glorious.

Exact type of 125 nottingham train station circa 1989-1990 age 3 or 4 i remember the size the monstrous sound and power thatll never ever be forgotten 😊

Great video. Best livery on the HST’s was the ‘swallow’ livery in my opinion.

Wonderful video featuring a train I took many times. Thank you for posting this one. As with all your videos it is superb.

We used to listen to these things thundering through Laira Junction ( from Laira Ave).....that double shriek made the hair on your neck stand up - i,ll never forget it 🙂

Best quality video from this era I've seen. The HD remastering is brilliant. Goes without saying the subject matter is top drawer too.

I absolutely love the livery of the Intercity HSTs, the Red black white and yellow. It looks fantastic! Not like after privatisation, multicoloured monstrosities.

Awesome! Thanks for uploading, this brings back so many memories although from a different area. I was remembering how the exhaust deposits would make a mess of the trailing power car windscreen when I saw the bloke with the brush and soapy water.

That is such an amazing sound 😃!

Yep, classical days. Not long to their demise now sadly.

What can you say? Superb. Thanks! I'm still old school blue and yellow HST livery - theres a photo of me somewhere in front of one at York in 1982

Sad days for the hst and 747

6:08 - he's determined to depart in style.

Plymouth station is in a residential area with houses not far from the station.

Uu love it❤

wow

Legendary trains.

I wonder if the people in the houses adjacent to the station loved or loathed those Valenta's 😂

I’m not much of a train buff, but I remember these powering out of Southampton during my Uni lectures hearing them scream, gave me chills. Question though. I read the HST only had 1 power car and the opposite end was empty. But every video I’ve seen, both ends are screaming? Can anyone explain? Thanks!

First departure shown - no red warning lights to rear power car? Forgot to activate or faulty perhaps? Either way, i expect heads would roll for that today!

Nice video. Was anything done to try stop the build up of dirt on the top of the power car?

There's no apostrophe in "Valentas" the plural - YamYam get re-editing it's more than slightly embarrassing you don't know this :-)

Screaming nuisance, too rough on the eardrums by far! were never the ideal choice, ill thought out to be that noisy. The Mirlees replacement engines being less audibily offensive, and more well suited to the task.
