Description
The InterCity 125s revolutionised rail travel in 1976 with their introduction into passenger service. These world's fastest diesel trains significantly reduced journey times, reversing declining demand without requiring new lines to be built. Their sleek design and distinctive noise made them instantly recognisable. A small group of enthusiasts formed the 125 Group in 1994 to focus on information and news about the HST. The organisation has grown into a preservation group with over 500 members, restoring and operating the prototype power car No. 41001, owning and operating three coaches, and producing a quarterly magazine. This book tells the story of an enduring icon of Britain's railways through fascinating photographs and insights. With its array of images and in-depth information, this publication provides a unique perspective on the InterCity 125s and their impact on the railway industry.
