#FrontEndFriday While another pair were in service on their first running day in preservation, @125Group's former #MML #VP185 #HST power car 43089 was resting inside the diesel shed at Swanwick Junction at the @midrlybutterley on 1/7/23. #EMT #MidlandMainline

Always a pleasure to see an HST in platform 3 at York, even more so when it’s a pair of VP185 power cars. The Blue Pullman set pauses after its arrival from Scarborough. 03/05/23. #Class43 #HST #BluePullman #York #VP185 #Trainspotting

So, another two power cars that look different to when they were last driven… 🥹 Paxman #VP185-powered #Class43 43059+43049 ‘Neville Hill’, pass through #MML Derby once again, on Locomotive Services Limited 0Z42 1126 Leeds Neville Hill T&RSMD > Crewe Holding Sidings 11/10/22

Two years ago this evening a cold start for 43059, the first air frost of the season at the office. #hst #class43 #trainsspotting #vp185

G on one more shot! 43049 and 046 head through Willington working 5Z73 from Doncaster back to base Crewe with the defunt cooling towers looming behind. @InterCity86101 #class43 #bluepullman #midlandpullman #IC125 #HST #VP185

Jan 26th 2020 wasn't all bad though you could still hear the VP185 noise. 43045 doing the honours here, rolling into Kettering platform 3. I can almost hear the idle of the engines and the hissing of the mk3s air suspension as it glides by... #HSTonMML #VP185

@thesatnav89 20/5/2021 … 43049 having had a bodyside hand clean and bogie wash awaits a berth to receive its last every big exam at the office. #hst #vp185

A quick comparison of the yellow & non-yellow (i.e. blue!) front ends of the #MidlandPullman set at Kettering. Seen earlier today & in original style on a previous tour on 21/8/21 when the weather wasn't much better. #HST #VP185 #LSL #MML
