The Great HST Hunt
I have now decided on the final adventures I will be doing. There are going to be 3 more 'escapades' this year. The final one is 'top secret' and is an idea I have been working on for ages. Anyway, more on that later.......
However before then I am going to do 2 where I am going after one of the best trains in the country but currently facing an uncertain future, the HST.
As GNER are going this year, I will start with them in August. Having not ever been on a GNER HST before I am after one of the non-refurbished ones. There is an 83% chance of getting one and I am travelling on two, and there are no set diagrams for the refurbished sets. What would be an unexpected result is travel on a refurbished one but also a non-refurbished one.
The second one I plan to do is go after one of the summer Saturday HSTs. Now that Virgin have lost the XC franchise and so have NX have lost MML, that could now mean this will be the last year to see an HST (especially an MML liveried HST) in Manchester. So that is the planned line up for now anyway.
