Privatization worked pre WW2. It's just how it turned out second time around.

Not to be a snarker or anything, but why is it unfortunate to replace 50 year old and beat up trains?

What Blackbuck said
I used to have an hour long journey home with an almost guaranteed seat every time, but the new S Stock have longitudinal seating which significantly reduces the capacity of seated passengers, resulting in having to stand most of the time. The old trains also have a bit more character, despite being a bit more bumpy at speed. I hope they find another operator once LU is done with them - I heard rumours they made be used around Leeds.

Having not seen any new trains posted here for a long time, and after drawing Concorde, I thought I'd try another British design classic.

British Rail Class 43 Locomotive and Mark 3 Carriages which form the InterCity 125 High Speed Train:

Impressive. Any chance of seeing some post privatization liveries?

Very good!The 125HST powered by Paxman Valenta had one of the most impressive sounds when passing by at full speed.I have in my computer a video with several passings from an area called Lickey.

The Lickey Incline is close to where I live and is the steepest main line incline in Britain. I had the pleasure of seeing [this] occur.

Thanks, there you go

Nice work, I'm not really a train guy but these look great!

Thanks! I'm not either, but I thought I'd try something different.

And now the corresponding carriages:
