Get ready for an extraordinary journey back in time! The iconic Midland Pullman is about to embark on a speed test run, and you're invited to be a part of this historic event.
On March 4, 2026, the legendary High Speed Train (HST) will showcase its capabilities on a non-stop run between Crewe and London Euston. This is a rare chance to witness the power and elegance of this train as it reaches a blazing 125mph!
But here's where it gets controversial... While the HST has been a staple of British railways for decades, this test run aims to assess if it can sustain such high speeds consistently. Can this classic train keep up with modern demands? That's what this official test program aims to find out.
Imagine cruising along the West Coast Main Line, passing through picturesque towns like Stafford, Rugby, and Milton Keynes, before arriving in bustling London Euston. It's a unique blend of history and high-speed travel.
The return journey will be just as exciting, as the train completes its evaluation, offering a smooth and efficient ride back to Crewe.
And this is the part most people miss... This test isn't just about speed. It's an opportunity for passengers to experience the thrill of high-speed travel in a train that's a piece of living history.
First-class seating is available, offering a comfortable journey with tables of 2 or 4. For an even more exclusive experience, a limited number of private window seats are up for grabs at a small supplement.
So, are you ready to be a part of this historic event? Will the HST prove its mettle, or is it time for a new generation of trains? Join the conversation in the comments and let us know your thoughts!
