I used to be a `spotter` in my youth, but still hold an avid interest in locos and stock.
I recently spent the night in Newcastle overlooking the station. I was interested to see many movements. However, i did regret not to hear the impressive departing noise of a HST with Valenta engines!
Can any one shed any light as to why most if not all HST powers car have been replaced with MTU`s?, Was it pure engineering that forced the change?
