Final Day of Great Western Railway (GWR) HSTs / Intercity 125s Services From London - 18/05/19

Video: A compilation of the final four Great Western Railway (GWR) Class 43 HST / Intercity 125 sets out and about the Great Western Main Line, on their final day of long distance intercity services out of London.
All clips were filmed from various locations on the east end of the main line between Reading and London Paddington, these include London Paddington, Reading, Iver, West Drayton and Ealing Broadway stations. I made sure I was down at Paddington for the final four meet up on platforms 1 to 4, but it was extremely busy with enthusiasts, GWR employees and members of the public wanting there final shots of the trains, so apologies for some very shaky footage, but this was one of those moments I couldn't miss and will forever give good memorable footage.

NOTE - The Great Malvern service seemingly only made it to Worcester Shrub Hill due a late inbound arrival.

The only remaining GWR HSTs as of uploading are a handful of short 'Castle' sets operating in Cornwall, Devon and South Wales, most sets have gone into storage with no immediate planned futures, though a few have gone to ScotRail of course on their Inter7City services and one or two on hire to Hull Trains.
This truly marked the beginning of the end of an era with the HSTs, as it is important to note that the Great Western services had the largest fleet of Intercity 125s out of any other main line.
