They were built between 1975 and 1982 and designed by TCB Miller and his design team at BR Railway Technical Centre in Derby. TOPS - InterCity 125 - British Rail Mark 3 - Paxman Valenta - CrossCountry - Brush Traction - Great Western Railway (train operating company) - Diesel. The power cars had a main driver's position at one aerodynamically shaped end with the other flat and gangwayed end having only an auxiliary driving position for shunting purposes. Current Operators: Great Western Railway, Arriva Cross Country, East Midland Railway, Network Rail, Scotrail, Locomotive Services Limited, Colas Rail. After being fitted with buffers, these power cars began work as surrogate DVTs to work with the Class 91s and 89. To be used as a spares donor. Their last HST service was the 19:35 London King's Cross to Leeds service on 15 December 2019. HSTs 43084 and 43123 were the final operational Paxman Valenta power cars, being re-engined in 2010 with the MTU treatment. They were then transferred to Virgin Cross Country, and put in storage when Virgin replaced its HST fleet with Bombardier Voyagers (though Arriva, upon later taking over the franchise, acquired ten power cars, four of which were buffered). Great Western Trains where fined 1.5million for breaches of Health and Safety law. The coaches also had their buffers removed. 146.00 Add to basket. Hornby R30204. 2023 125 Group Limited. Afterward, the train again accelerated hard, passing Northallerton at 140mph. Class 377, Class 387) on its fleet. There have also been four serious incidents involving Class 43s; these accidents resulted in four power cars being written off.

Two of these locomotives (also referred to as powercars) top-and-tailing four Mark 3 coaches can be purchased for 3,000 points, while the variant with 5 Mark 3s and the variant with powercars with buffers each cost an addition 800 . 43000 had recently been returned to working order by the 125 Group under the banner of Project Miller named after Terry Miller, the designer of the HST. Financial limitations were tight, so mass The auxiliary position was dropped from the production powercars. About half of these were injured, 12 of them seriously. After several years of storage, several of these powercars were leased by Midland Main Line for their "Project Rio", special services from London St Pancras to Manchester Piccadilly, while major engineering works were undertaken on the West Coat Main Line. On the East Coast Main Line HST's will remain in service until 2018 before being replaced by the Hitachi Super Express. During 1987, eight HST power cars were converted for use as driving van trailers (DVTs) with Class 91 locomotives during trials on the East Coast Main Line. From $14.22. East Midlands Railway currently operate twelve HST set with nine sets in 2+8 formation, and three sets in 2+6 "fun size" formation. The result is the pinned Coach G, propelled by the vehicles behind, is severely distorted. After a stop at Darlington, the train accelerated quickly, however was checked to 80mph on a sharp curve about five miles south of Darlington. These units operated from London King's Cross to end destinations such as Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Hull, Bradford, Skipton, Cleethorpes, Inverness, and Aberdeen. Seven people, including the drivers of the train and the car, were killed. It was launched in 2003, but the vehicles used for it are older. By CraigMatthews. Template:Infobox Locomotive The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train power cars, built by BREL from 1975 to 1982. At the time of the accident, the ATP equipment was not required to be switched on, as it had proved troublesome in service. The former 22 East Midlands Railway VP185 engine power cars were replaced by MTU engine power cars from London North Eastern Railway in 2021. TDM at the time, use the cable for the lights to transmit control signals the length of the train, it now used a dedicated jumper cable for locomotive that use it. All the units were repainted from their original InterCity colours to the Virgin red livery. Paxman began development of the Valenta's successor, the Paxman VP185, in 1987. Virgin Cross Country had dropped the HST's in 2003 in favor of Class 220 and 221 Voyager and Super Voyager DMU's, a move that proved highly unpopular with passengers who found the new trains, noisy, rough riding, cramped and uncomfortable compared to the HST's they replaced. The class is officially the fastest diesel locomotive in the world, with an absolute maximum speed of 148.5mph (239.0km/h), and a regular service speed of 125mph (201km/h). BREL Crewe Manufacturer(s) In October 2017, the Great Western Railway began to replace its HST sets with new Hitachi Class 800 trains on its long distance, intercity services. This record has only been surpassed by the production power number 43159 at 148.5mph. As of 2020, the Class 43 is still in use with the Great Western Railway, Abellio ScotRail, Arriva CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Locomotive Services Limited, and Colas Rail. The last VP185 engine to be manufactured at Paxman's Colchester Works was despatched from the factory on 15 September 2003 as part of a programme to convert 14 Midland Mainline power cars to VP185 engines to supplement the four already converted during 1994/95, and this led to 43043/045/048-050/052/055/060/061/072/073/076/082 joining 43047/059/074/075 with this engine type.[13]. HST came . Other destinations served by LNER HST's were, Stevenage, Peterborough, Grantham, Retford, Doncaster, Wakefield Westgate, Shipley, Keighley, Selby, Brough, Northallerton, Darlington, Durham, Morpeth, Alnmouth, Berwick upon Tweed, Dunbar, Haymarket, Inverkeithing, Kirkaldy, Dundee, Arbroath, Montrose, Stonehaven, Falkirk Grahamston, Gleneagles, Perth, Dunkeld and Birnam, Pitlochry, Blair Atholl, Newtonmore, Kingussie, Aviemore, and Carrbridge. Class 43.1 (30%) Include in Class 43.1 with a CCA rate of 30% electrical vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) set up to supply more than 10 kilowatts but less than 90 kilowatts of continuous power. The train proceeded south to York and on to London Kings Cross limited for this part of the journey to 125mph. Donated to the Welsh Railways Trust in 2021 and based at the. However, in the interim period it (Flying Scotsman) was decided to run a connecting service on the West Coast Mainline from Manchester Piccadilly, and from Edinburgh Waverley via the East Coast Mainline to the Eurostar terminal at London Waterloo. In May 2011 the National Railway Museum (NRM) announced that the remaining HST prototype power car 41001 would undergo full restoration work. The suggestion that British Rail participate in a trial of the new VP185 engine in the IC125 was first mooted in January 1991, and a formal agreement for the trial was signed in May 1993. The Class 43 design was modified with a lower top speed of 100mph and a de-rated Paxman Valenta engine of 2,000bhp. 43060 has being noted to have problems with the cylinder seals of it's VP185 engine, making the power car extremely smokey in service. This locomotive's lease ended in 2006 and it was returned to storage at Long Marston. Eleven people were cut free from the wreckage. A the same time First Great Western had the MK3 passenger trailers refurbished at Brush Barclay Works in Kilmarnock, Scotland. The powercars were given the coaching stock numbers 43000 and 43001. 197 The prototype InterCity 125 (power cars 43000 and 43001) set the world record for diesel traction at 143mph (230km/h) on 12 June 1973. Working Headlights. Grand Central bought six of these for services from Sunderland to London, the remaining two having been integrated into Network Rail's New Measurement Train. These sets have being fitted with controlled emissions toilets, retention tanks, disabled access toilets, and power door to meet TSI-PRM legislation. The new trains also had far fewer seats than the HST's they replace leading to chronic over-crowding on core routes. Number 43159 is operating with First Great Western and operated services from London Paddington to Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, Exeter, Plymouth, and Penzance, while number 43104 has been renumbered as 43304, and operates with East Coast between, London Kings Cross, Leeds, Harrogate, Skipton, Hull, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness, and passed the site of the record run almost everyday. When the Cross Country franchise passed from Virgin Cross Country to Arriva Cross Country in 2007, Arriva decide to re-introduce HST's to it's fleet in response to passenger feedback and over-crowding. It also has a fleet of thirteen HST MK3 Coaches. This service was operated using HST's sub-leased from Intercity Cross Country, the shadow franchise which preceded Virgin Cross Country. It is the only locomotive in this sub-class. The XPT powercars also feature revised horn and headlight clusters, and air intake filter to handle the dry dusty environment in which they operate. 2+5 is the minimum allowed length for running at 125mph due to braking issues on shorter sets. 43134 named 'Gordon Aikman' at Glasgow Queen Street, on 25th June 2021. Class 43 HST 43165 & 43166 In Intercity Swallow Livery. These services would operate from Paris through the Channel Tunnel to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Manchester via the East Coast, and West Coast Mainline using a dedicated fleet of Class 373/1 North of London Eurostar sets. Both of these units have now had MTU engines fitted. It measures contact between wheels, rails and overhead power lines and is equipped with lasers, video cameras and other instruments. [11] The test involved completion of 3,000 cycles, each of 10 minutes duration, with four minutes at the maximum power of 2,611kW (3,501bhp) and six minutes at idle, simulating the typical 'on-off' nature of IC125 duty. The class is officially the fastest diesel locomotive in the world, with an absolute maximum speed of 148.5 mph (239.0 km/h), and a regular service . Formerly named. HST INTERCITY 125 TRAINS Classic Mug. Abellio Scotrail operate 27 HST sets in 2+4, and 2+5 formations. The inquest concluded that the crash was caused by Brian Drysdale, a chef at the nearby Wokefield Park Hotel, committing suicide by parking his car on the crossing. Powercar 43018 after the 1995 Royal Oak Crash. Add to basket. Prime mover History and background In the early 1970s, the British Railways Board made the decision to replace its main-line express diesel traction. These bogies would later be used under the MK4 coaches hauled by Class 91 electric locomotives. Various formations are being built; both electric and bi-mode (electro-diesel) versions in five- or nine-coach lengths. A consortium headed by Hitachi has designed and built the new units, initially named "Super Express Train". $34.73. The prototype set was developed at the Railway Technical Centre, Derby, the power cars having been constructed by British Rail Engineering Limited's (BREL) Crewe Works and the British Rail Mark 3 passenger cars by BREL's Derby Litchurch Lane Works. More than 20 ambulances from 5 counties and 14 fire engines attended the crash. Used in LNER HST charity railtour along with 43312. Termed the Intercity 125 these HST's were formed into 2+7 sets. Menu. To power the HST the Class 43 powercars were fitted with a Paxman Valenta 12RP200L diesel engine developing 2,250bhp at 1,500rpm. It is the only locomotive in this sub-class. The last powercars to retain the Valenta engines, numbers 43084 and 43123 ran several special trains for enthusiasts in 2010 before heading to Brush Traction for reengineering. The prototype HST (Class 41 powercars and MK3 coaches) were designed and developed at the Railway Technical Centre at Derby by Terry Miller. All HSTs operating with Great Western Railway (GWR), London North Eastern Railway were replaced by Class 800/801/802s in 2018/2019. The last four Great Western Railway intercity HST services left London Paddington on 18 May 2019 as the 18:03 London Paddington to Plymouth, 18:15 London Paddington to Cheltenham Spa, 18:22 London Paddington to Hereford, and the 18:30 London Paddington to Taunton (extended to Exeter St David's). On 17 April 2018, 43138 suffered damage due to an engine fire whilst at Penzance station. The video fo. The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train (formerly classes 253 and 254) power cars, built by British Rail Engineering Limited from 1975 to 1982. SN109 was a non standard "reversal-L" signal set with the red signal located to the left of the lower yellow signal and had been implemented before formal approval from. 61 injured people were taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading and others to the North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke. Later, Virgin Trains withdrew the HSTs when new Class 220 and 221 units were delivered, and nearly all of these power cars went into storage at Long Marston. The Midland Pullman Powercars have been modified to include high output headlight, marker lights (including third marker light), and tail lights. It's new VP185 engine lived on with MML. [92], Initially, high-speed Bombardier Voyager and Alstom Class 180 Adelante replaced numerous HST units, but all locomotives and sets were brought back into service as a result of increasing demand. The EWS-operated freight train was coming from London on the Down Relief line, hauling twenty empty bogie hopper wagons, and permitted to cross Southall East Junction on its way into Southall Yard, south of the main lines. This mean that the Midland Pullman does not have, or need the yellow warning panel on the front of its Power Cars. In the meantime InterCity trains operated via Swindon and Westbury and local services were replaced by rail and bus shuttles. After conversion these powercars entered service as surrogate DVT's, working with Class 89 and Class 91 locomotives on London Kings Cross to Leeds services providing Electric Train Heating for the MK3 coaches. It was of much more substantial construction than the Turbo train, the leading car of which was totally destroyed. It should have been held at a red signal at Ladbroke Grove until this could be done safely. The prototype powercar 43001, is currently undergoing overhaul to return it to main line operation on railtours and has been fitted with an Paxman Valenta engine taken form a First Great Western powercar during the re-engineering programme. However the APT was ultimately a failure after the tilting mechanism got jammed at high speed, with members of the British Press onboard causing, nausea and vomiting for those onboard, leading to negative publicity and killing the APT project. An investigation into the Ladbroke Grove Rail Crash carried out after the crash, found that the driver of the Thames Turbo, 31-year-old Michael Hodder (who was also killed in the crash) had passed a red signal at signal set numbered SN109, (located on Gantry 8 overhead, next to four other signals serving the other rail lines). A the time British Railways was experiment with the electric and the gas turbine versions of the Advanced Passenger Train (APT). From $1.39. During the prototypes time on the Eastern Region, it set the world speed record for diesel traction of 143.8mph between York and Darlington. These are currently used on Network Rail Test Trains, and are being assessed for their environmental properties, with a view to replacing the Coals Rail Class 37's. D2866 (Class 02) Bought from the Caledonian Rly Soc at Bridge of Dun, its fair to say as a kit of parts, as the power unit was frost damaged and had to be replaced. The powercar was named Hayabusa (Japanese for Peregrine Falcon), and operated the Network Rail, New Measurement Train. The engine severs the brake pipe. This conversion included, removal of the lower aerodynamic valences, fitting of buffers, and fitting of TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) remote control equipment to control the electric locomotives. At the event, power car 43002 (Numbered 253 001 as a Diesel Multiple Unit) was unveiled in original Intercity 125 livery, and named Sir Kenneth Grange after the Class 43's bodyshell designer. The rear of the 220m (720ft) long InterCity 125 train came to rest about 100 m (110yd) beyond the crossing with all eight coaches derailed. The Cullen inquiry was carried out in 2 blocks of sittings, sandwiching the 'joint inquiry'; the first block dealt with the accident itself, the second block dealt with the management and regulation of UK railway safety; this had always been part of the inquiry terms of reference, but was given additional urgency by a further train crash at Hatfield in October 2000. The engine used in the prototype power cars was the Paxman 'Valenta' 12RP200L, which developed 2,250 horsepower (1,680kW). The Midland Pullman will operate for the first time on 12 December 2020. The four units that were not in service, 43173, 43011, 43019 and 43140, were written off by fatal rail accidents in 1997, 1999, 2004 and 2020 respectively. Abellio is due to take over the Scotrail franchise from First Group in early 2015, with the HST sets been introduced in 2017. "More HST power cars head for the breakers yard". 173 The test was much more severe than operational duty, where the train operates at a maximum of 1,678kW (2,250bhp). Both crashes would have been prevented by an operational Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system, but wider fitting of this had been rejected on cost grounds. As an out-bound train, the train (a 3-car turbo class 165 'Turbo' diesel unit) would have been routed onto the Down Main line at Ladbroke Grove. For most of its time with GNER, it was based at Craigentinny yard in Edinburgh and was painted into GNER colours. The set was shorted to 2+5 formation and consisted of, 43159 (leading), five Mk3 coaches, and 43104 (trailing). The two record breaking Class 43's are still in service today. The power car was named "Hayabusa" (Hayabusa, , Japanese for Peregrine falcon, project name 'V-Train 2'). During the summer, EMR also used to operate Saturday services from Nottingham to Skegness using a HST set. [25], GB Railfreight have expressed interest in the possibility of converting displaced HST sets for use carrying parcels and other mail. Gauge: Standard gauge - 1,435mm - 4ft 8.5inches. HST POWER CAR FLEET LIST. [6], The design was successful and led to production orders being placed for similar trains for the Western, Eastern, Scottish and London Midland regions. It can check the condition of railway lines over a 13 week cycle. Four minutes at the maximum power of 3,500bhp and six minutes at idle. Intercity 125 Classic Mug. The powercars been constructed at BREL's Crewe Works and the MK3 coaches at Derby Litchurch Lane Works. As reported earlier this year, Class 43 HST nameplates will be auctioned in aid of charity this Saturday, offering enthusiasts the chance to own a piece of railway history..

In November 2007 the Intercity East Coast Franchise passed to National Express East Coast who continued the re-engineering program at Brush Traction. Repainted into InterCity, Stored. Share HST power cars to go off-lease. [39], 43045 has been preserved at the Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre following its period in service with Colas Rail and its time in storage. The Class 43 powercars are often called the HST (High Speed Train) due to their speed. When the APT project failed the HST became the flagship of British Rail. In 2009, National Express, in response to falling passenger numbers and falling profits, refused to continue funding the Intercity East Coast franchise and was stripped of the franchise by the Department for Transport. The main reason been to rectify chronic reliability problems plaguing their powercars, but also to life extend the units and to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Six people were killed, and a seventh passenger died in hospital. Between 12 and 20 HST sets were originally to be retained and refurbished to carry on providing services between London, Devon and Cornwall, where no electrification was planned, and where the Class 800's diesel engines would not be capable of negotiating the steep gradients along the South Devon Banks, through to the mid-2020s. 43184 (ex. Fleet numbers 1 preserved, 20 in storage By CraigMatthews. Like First Great Western, National Express East Coat decided to have its MK3 passenger trailers refurbished - this time by Wabtec Rail at their Doncaster Works, in conjunction with Bombardier Transportation.

[41] 125 Heritage Ltd, based at the Colne Valley Railway, has saved three power cars, 43071, 43073 and 43082.[42]. A 70 metric tonne weight gave the powercars a 17.5 metric tonne axle load. British Rail's Midland Mainline, and Cross Country services also received allocations of HST's in the coming years. As of the 11th December 2020, all of the VP185 HSTs are now out of service. 43058, 43059, and the remaining four MK3's are currently used for driver training on the West Coast Mainline. If you whnat the DMU list I can photo copy it for you [70] On 2 October 2016, power car 43185 was unveiled in InterCity Swallow livery. Between 1993, and 1997 British Rail was sold into privatization. The first batches have replaced HSTs on the Great Western Main Line and the East Coast Main Line. Alan Bricker, the driver of the freight locomotive No. Stored at Laira. In 1987, with the electrification of the East Coast Main Line progressing quickly, British Rail realised that the MK4 coaches and DVT's (Driving Van Trailers) for the Class 89 and Class 91 electric locomotives would not be ready in time for the introduction of electric services on the East Coast Main Line. [71] Both were operated by Great Western Railway (First Great Western) and 43002 is now preserved. Before cooler group upgrade the engines on the Western Region powercars were temporarily downrated to 2,000 bhp during the summer months. For a full listing of all HST Power Cars and their current status, click on the image link below to open the PDF, which is supported by most major browsers. Experience with the high-speed Class 55 Deltic locomotives had shown that a low axle weight was essential to avoid damage to the track at sustained high speed, and that high-speed engines were the only way to provide a good enough power-to-weight ratio for diesels. In the early 1970s, the British Railways Board made the decision to replace its main-line express diesel traction. Acceleration slowed, but just south of Thirsk, the train was timed over a measured mile at having attained or exceeded 148mph, later verified to have attained 148.5mph.
