‘The Miller and Grange’ charter sits at the stops at Kings Cross, like so many other HSTs have done over the years. Difficult not to reminisce seeing this iconic machine in this livery in the capital. The @125Group should be rightly proud of what they’ve achieved.

43159 "Rio Warrior" catching the sun under the iconic roof at York station on today's 1Z43 "The Citadel Express". Did you really think I could say no to one of the greatest privatisation liveries of all time under that roof?

We've made it to Reading!
Great little trip down and as ever a great idea by @125Group to run their ECS in service for a bit of extra income 👏
Great to catch up with @omtherails.bsky.social as well. Been a long time since our paths have crossed!

Advent Day 18: 125Group Class 43 'High Speed Train' 43159 "Rio Warrior"
Yes, she's back again... This photo from early August had to come back. She's also the second to last diesel appearance on this advent calendar 😦
But I think she deserves the spot, best looking powercar in the country!

#125Group were running their ECS as a one way charter... Obviously couldn't turn it down! Derby to Bury Bolton Street, and a fantastic little tour it was!
📸: 43159 "Rio Warrior" and 43089 at Bury. Oh, and bonus reusable cup in the best livery.

Come on 125Group, did you really have to use GenAI to make your railtour poster?
It genuinely looks crap. I know you're a charity but this is a pisstake.
Take a leaf out of Foxfield's book. Use photographs and actual art please.

Finally went on a HST for the first time yesterday, and got a whole load of milage done on them!
Never actually got a chance to go on one before so I had to jump at the opportunity to ride one, the 125group does an incredible job at preserving this set!
What do you think of the HSTs?

The 125 Group revealed THREE repainted HST power cars and a trio of Mk 3 trailers yesterday at UKRL's Loughborough Works - but which one is your favourite? We can't wait to see these out on the main line on railtours in 2026. #125group #highspeedtrain

Yes, they're slowly being retired from frontline service... but several examples are preserved.
There is three dedicated HST preservation groups, 125Group, 125Heritage and 125Preservation. A number of examples are also preserved by Locomotive Services Limited, two with the NRM and one at CreweHC.
