Description

High Speed Trains Around Britain from 1990 to the Present Day This book showcases over 230 images of High Speed Trains (HSTs) in operation across the UK, highlighting their enduring presence and potential for future use. Following their widespread withdrawal in 2018-19, some operators have reconsidered their value, with trains being used as test trains or dedicated charter sets. The book provides a visual record of HSTs over the past 20-30 years, demonstrating why they have remained in service despite changing circumstances. The photographs and accompanying text reveal the versatility and adaptability of these trains, which were once hailed as 'the savior of British Rail'. Today, they continue to play a role in the UK's rail network. This book serves as a testament to their enduring significance and a call to action for their preservation. With its extensive collection of images, this book offers a unique insight into the history and future of High Speed Trains in Britain.
