#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
