Morning everyone. I hope you’ve had a good week.

As ‘East Coast’ became ‘Virgin East Coast’, the quick application of a bit of vinyl would have to do in the short term! 43308 (formerly 43108 ‘BBC Television Railwatch’, remember that?!) stands in platform 11 at York awaiting departure.

Today's #HighSpeedTuesday comes from *seven* years ago... as #Class43 powercar 43002 "Sir Kenneth Grange", still plying it's trade with Great Western Railway at the time, is snapped on a cold evening at Reading station on the 18th of January 2018.

How time flies eh?...

Morning all. Today’s post is 43272 pictured in the sidings at Holgate Junction with the PLPR test train. A power car I remember fondly during its days on the MML as 43072 ‘Derby Etches Park.’
Hope you all have a great day. 😉

I have an old photo of an HST my mum took 22 years ago and I'm still annoyed that we didn't take the number of it :(

In the unlikely event someone has info, I've added information of said photo in the Alt Text.
