So this month on December 11th saw the last services operated by Paxman VP185 powers and the “Angel Set” for East Midlands Railway. The VP185’s have been on the MML since 1995, for several months there have just been 3 power cars left which only came out when the current red, ex. LNER engines weren’t fit to operate.
This year throughout 2020 I have been collecting footage I’ve caught of these blue beasts in action and have compiled them here into one video as a tribute and goodbye to the classic Midland HST’s.
Footage has been taken across the Midland Mainline and is organised in the video from South to North, starting at St Pancras & ending at Leeds.

It’s still worth noting that HST’s are still on the midland mainline until next year, but will only be the red ones now.
