The HST has indeed produced this morning, on it as I type!That's a relief - I still "require" 190, and this is due to be its last period of hire to HT. Looks like an early start to nab it on 1A91!

Normally it is only out Fridays to Sundays at the moment. The HST then goes back to Bristol for maintenance between Monday and Thursday.Does anyone know if it's out today or tomorrow please?
Unfortunately it went south today for its weekly exam. Should be back by Thursday/Friday.Does anyone know if it's out today or tomorrow please?
I can guarantee that 43025 will not turn up.190's due to be going off-lease tomorrow - or so I've heard. If that's the case, my fingers are tightly crossed for 43025 (last required 'endangered' powercar) to drop on it...

Do we know which diagrams the HST ran on last weekend - Sat and Sun, and whether this weekends workings are likely to be the same?
I don't understand all this frothing about getting them now. They've been there 40+ years to get and have never exactly been rare on passenger trains!!!190's due to be going off-lease tomorrow - or so I've heard.

I'm afraid 025 is on Laira undergoing work and is now unbranded and de named and presumably now either off lease or about to be.190's due to be going off-lease tomorrow - or so I've heard.

You tell me I want 43162 the git it's on 228 for me, absolute rubbish. I have had 19 off lease GWR power cars for the year so no hope for me.Possibly not, but not everyone has been in the position to get them for the last 40 years or may have individual targets. Especially on such an iconic traction. A personal target for me, for example, is to get all the GWR power cars for 1K in mileage and for the year. That's the quirk of this hobby, it can be interacted in in different ways.*
*Although if, sometime around 2044, I'm there chasing 800025 as it's required for the year before it gets turned into razor blades then please have a quiet word with me!
Ahh bother - so close. 1 away, excluding the crash write-offs. You couldn't script itI'm afraid 025 is on Laira undergoing work and is now unbranded and de named and presumably now either off lease or about to be.

So the gen was correct about 43190 being off lease then.Nope, I believe 190 is now off-lease!
I think it's 43020/023 if they've moved from Long Rock...
I think you mean Grand Central 43/4's. They went start of 2018.There was some of Hulls Trains HST's moved from there to East Midlands Trains
Ah, alright. Fabe's Railway Adventure's latest video shows a 43 HST from HT to EMT.I think you mean Grand Central 43/4's. They went start of 2018.
