In conjunction with the operation of the UK Railtours trip from Paddington to Pembroke and Tenby on Sunday 20th July, 125 Group is please to announce that the stock movement of the HST is being made available to the public as a one-way trip between Derby and Reading. Not only does that give the opportunity for folks from the Midlands and the South to ride our HST at a hugely discounted price, but it is also operating by a rare and interesting route around the West Midlands.
Our planned route is:
DEPART: DERBY approx 14:30

The HST will comprise (subject to availability) 43159 + 43089 plus seven trailer cars – two First Class, a catering vehicle and four standard class.
Participants may join and leave at any of the stated calling points – the same fare applies throughout. PLEASE NOTE this is a ONE-WAY trip only and is available at the amazing prices of £45 First Class and £35 standard class. Light refreshments of hot and cold drinks and packaged snacks will be available throughout from the buffet counter and a 125 Group shop will be in operation.
Following feedback from our previous stock move, individual seats will not be allocated – but the online purchase will guarantee you a seat place and we will advise on the joining instructions the vehicle in which your seat will be located.
When booking, please retain/print your order receipt as this will gain you access to the train and the order number will be used as the means of identification. Our booking conditions can be found here.
We will not sell more places than the number of available seats – so your place is assured. Book early to ensure your place by clicking Shop now below!
