Welcome to the website of the 125 Group. We are the only
group dedicated to following the Intercity 125 (HST). Our magazine is the most reliable
source of information on the HST fleet.
Our ultimate aim is to preserve an
example of this fine train after the end of its working life.
On this website you will find information on the history
and current operations of the HST fleet. You will also find information about
the 125 Group and an invitation to join us.
May Timetable change
Posted by Admin on Thursday, May 21, 2009
As you will all know, the May timetable change has just occured and most TOCs diagrams will have changed to increase service level as we head toward the Summer.
We update the diagrams on this website as and when they become available to us and it should be stressed that this is through individuals good will. Diagrams are not generally freely available, even to TOC staff without sifting through TOPS and we do not have a specific person who provides them each time there is an update.
Please do not email asking when the diagrams will be updated, as we have informed people who have already requested, they will be updated on this website when they become available to us.
Thankyou for your patience.

The long anticipated launch of the Valenta Venturer DVD that is!

The journey is featured almost in it's entirety and is accompanied throughout by the sound of 43064s Valenta. Sit back, relax and enjoy the music!
As usual, the DVD is available to purchase online, for the price of £15.00 here
Please Note: Group Members can purchase this DVD for the special price of £12.50, however this is ONLY available via Postal orders. Please remember to quote your membership number.

Busy Busy Busy...........
Posted by Admin on Friday, November 21, 2008
Yet again, a lot has happened since our last ‘Preservation update’, some of which has already been mentioned below, some not. First of all, let’s go right the way back to April.
On arrival at our storage facility, we were greeted with two new acquisitions, Valenta engine S155 and Marston cooler 71194. Sadly, these assets time with us would be short lived, as they were primarily acquired for component recovery. S155 is of the early recessed deck engines (the same as S148 mentioned somewhere below); this engine was primarily a strategic move, as it’s fitted with a NA-256 turbo charger which has just done a few years work since new. The Marston cooler was taken as it was the pick of what was available, though again, itself being just for spares. Sadly, as space was running a little thin, (now being up to 11 Valentas and 8.5 Marstons – don’t ask) it was time to take the ratchets and spanners to S148 and S155. We saved the Governors, Turbos, Inter coolers, Fuel pumps, Rockers, Pushrods and many other useful bits you could lose and find 10 times over. Marston 71194 met a quick end with the help of our newly acquired forklift ‘Lucy’, but only after safely removing some useful panels and a gearbox – you can never have too many gearboxes!
S148 and S155 were from the same batch of Valentas ordered by BR to replace the original fabricated blocks, both being cast back in 1981. RIP.

We would like to thank East Midlands Trains for arranging their 'Valenta Venturer' special to Scarborough. The day out was truly delightful, with good weather and terrific runs there and back.
Also we would like to extend our gratitude to Tim Shoveller, Darren Ward, and Mark Coney for allowing the naming of 43064 and 43081 the previous night, in readiness for the trip to Scarborough.
We'd also like to seperately thank Karl Brailsford, Paul Williams and Chris Wells.
Above: 43064 at Scarborough named "125 Group" in Rio style sticker name plates.
