EMT HST Summer Special to Skegness
Happy days! Just done something, I’ve been wanting to do for a good number of years! That is getting the Summer Special HST train to Skegness! Big thanks to Mark T for sorting it all out and of course joining me!
InterCity 125 passes Elton and Orston railway station
Today Mark T and myself went to Elton and Orston railway station, which is the least used station in Nottinghamshire. To watch the one of the Summer Saturday HST specials to Skegness.

It’s #NationalHSTDay
Really can’t believe that today marks the last day that you will see a LNER HST on the ECML. So glad, that I went on the very last HST Highland Chieftain up to Inverness last Sunday.
Vlog: Crossing the Forth Rail Bridge at night
View from the very last northbound Highland Chieftain (LNER) service crossing the Forth Rail Bridge.
Off to Inverness today!
Looking forward to Highland Chieftain
So looking forward to last ever trip on a HST on the ECML. Getting the train from Grantham up to York (which I believe, will be a InterCity 225), then boarding the Highland Chieftain service, which will be operated by diesel-powered InterCity 125 High Speed Train for the very last time! Going all the way up to Inverness.
This will be my third time using the Highland Chieftain service. Really, really looking forward to it!
Once up in Inverness, hoping to do the Far North Line, for the very first time!
Loving getting trains from Stirling railway station
Do really, love getting trains from Stirling railway station! Great place to see InterCity 125s and the new Class 385 trains.
