The High-Speed Train (HST) was a mainstay of express services for many train operators in the UK for 40 years, despite being frowned upon by many for replacing loco-hauled services and locomotives. It first made its mark in the former Western Region of British Rail, where it was on duty from its earliest days until 2019, when it was withdrawn from frontline express duties. This book explores the history of many of the power cars that worked in the region, including their varied Western Region locations, some off the beaten track, where they could be seen operating during their four decades of service.
