50 years ago today, regular Intercity 125 service started in the UK, and for #HSTDay, I'll be sharing what a set was doing yesterday

43025 & 159 were the workhorses on yesterday's railtour, hauling 1Z43 & 1Z44 from London to Swansea and back!

This is an icon, a wonderful train
Carrying its passengers, taking the strain
Designed in the 70s, a new era begun
Making train travel joyous and fun
Spacious interiors, efficient and clean
The likes of which had never been seen

Today is #HSTDay!
These were the first intercity trains I can remember travelling on before a certain train pone flooded me with railway knowledge 😂

It’s sad to see them go but have been more than a great servant 💚
