Virgin Crosscountry 43 158 at the front of the Cornishman stopping at Durham on 12 April 2000. 43 098 was at the north end of the southbound train, whilst 43 158 was at the front. The rake is rare because it was in full Virgin Colours. Most Virgin HSTs run with at least one 'Intercity' livered power cars. Virgin is the only TOC still with the old Intercity-livered power units.

Not for much longer will you be able to see this...two Virgin HST power cars side by side. Pendolinos are likely to take over the
route from London to Holyhead the plan being that after they leave the wires at Crewe they will be 57 '3' hauled. This picture
of the two different HST or class 43 types was taken at London Euston on the 25th October 2003.

With Virgin Cross Country no longer using HST sets since the end of September 2003 the only route Virgin HSTs
can now be seen on is the London-Holyhead run which is operated by Virgin West Coast. 43094 clags away to itself
as it awaits departure on the 25th October 2003.
