#HighSpeedThursday #ScotRail #InterCity7 #HST 43163 departs from Haymarket, nearing her final destination on the rear of 1B78 11.01 Aberdeen to Edinburgh. Does this week's announcement of EMR's 222 lease extension mean these sets have slightly longer in service 🤞🤞 9/9/26

#HighSpeedThursday Neither shot is going to win photo of the year but i do like a record shot for haulages so here's #ScotRail #InterCity7 #HST 43037 at Haymarket & Inverness, our 3½hr ride to the capital of the Highlands aboard 1H17 13.32 Edinburgh-Inverness on 9/9/26

I think the reference to #highspeedthursday must refer to their initial (1970s!) purpose as high speed trains. In #intercity7 guise, surely they are #hopefullyspeedytrundlers?

#HighSpeedThursday Looking back to my recent trip to Scotland with @kingy69beard.bsky.social. We had this #ScotRail #InterCity7 #HST set from Dundee to Haymarket. 43028 & 43163 on 1B78 11.01 Aberdeen to Edinburgh seen departing from Haymarket station. 9/9/26

#HighSpeedThursday Dundee in the morning sunshine on Wednesday last week. Front & rear #ScotRail #InterCity7 #HST power cars 43182 & 43015, looking a bit worse for wear, working 1A77 08.31 Edinburgh to Aberdeen, our ride to Arbroath. 9/9/26

#SignalboxSunday Arbroath North box last week with a #ScotRail #InterCity7 #HST approaching with an Aberdeen to Glasgow service. Listed structure, opened in 1911, built by the North British Railway. 9/9/26

#HighSpeedSunday Two more power cars in the gloom at Dundee on Tuesday evening. 43026 & 43148 heading south working #ScotRail 1T50 15.35 Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street. #InterCity7 #HST 8/9/26

A lucky connection to catch on Tuesday, our slightly late arrival into Glasgow Queen Street left us with a +1 for 1A49, the 15.39 to Aberdeen. Just made it onboard for the run to Dundee. 43176 seen here leading prior to departure from Dundee. #InterCity7 #HST #Scotrail 8/9/26

Dundee. Not an easy station to get decent photos of the #InterCity7 #HST sets. Here is #ScotRail 1A49 15.39 Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen with 43176 leading & 43146 on the rear after our run on them from Glasgow. 8/9/26

#HST bashing yesterday. A trip to Arbroath & back resulted in having a #ScotRail #InterCity7 set back to Perth. 43031 leading 1T26 09.44 Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street past Arbroath North signalbox. 43012 was on the rear. Thanks @andym13.bsky.social for help with the edit. 9/9/26
