Went from Exeter st David's to Penzance and back on a couple of InterCity 125s, used to lean out the door windows and do videos but trains are now sealed, I see there's a new blue HST sign at Exeter station on platform 6 yet they say the the 175 will take over from the 125 in 2025, won't be travelling again on GWR if that happens as go on GWR only for the 125s it's the only good thing this country as left, most have gone to Mexico Africa ect, GWR could repaint the 4 125 sets they have in original BR livery & do tours, find disappointing that on GWR so many ticket offices & toilets are usually shut & they have replaced the old type signals with lights in Cornwall, when it was British rail I never had one late or cancelled train, now it's nearly every time I go on GWR, could do with coal fire waiting rooms & gas lights like 50 years ago, was on 125s in 1980s & in the evening going back east 125s had up to 3 restaurant cars with staff in white coats, not even a buffet car now & only have a fraction of first class passengers as in the 70s & 80s, half the train used to be first class & half second now it's probably just one coach is first class, need to charge less for first class and make more money with more going first
