HST 125 Inter Oceánico Mexico Mug — Ferromex Coast to Coast | British Rail Icon Coffee Cup Gift

The world's fastest diesel. Fifty years of British service. Now winding through Mexican mountains past volcanoes and Pacific coastline on one of the most extraordinary second careers in railway history.

The InterCity 125 — the train that transformed travel on Britain's main lines from 1976, designed by Sir Kenneth Grange and capable of 125mph in everyday service — has found a remarkable new home in Mexico. Operated by Ferromex on the Servicio Inter Oceánico, the former BR power cars and Mk3 coaches now run the spectacular coast-to-coast route connecting the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific — through the Sierra Madre mountains, past Pico de Orizaba and the volcanic landscapes of Oaxaca and Veracruz, and down to the coast at Salina Cruz. The same trains that once thundered through Reading and Doncaster are now threading through scenery that no British railway could ever match.

Repainted in vivid new Inter Oceánico livery — a world away from InterCity swallow or First Great Western green — the HSTs have attracted obsessive attention from enthusiasts following their every move, new photograph, and route development from thousands of miles away. This mug captures that Mexican adventure: the 125 in its new colours, volcanic peaks in the distance, a continent away from its origins and thriving.

The first and only HST Inter Oceánico mug on the market. Pairs perfectly with the Belchampian HST 125 Mexico t-shirt — the complete set for the HST enthusiast who's been following every update.

• Celebrates the HST 125 Inter Oceánico — Ferromex coast-to-coast service, Mexico
