SWT442 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Continuing the ECML theme, plus a few others.  East Midlands Trains' 43074, still in 'Project Rio' Midland Mainline colours, is seen at Doncaster on the rear of a Kings Cross bound service. The train is made up of predominately EMT MK3's, supplemented with an East Coast buffet coach.

Looks like FGW to me.  Good spot, I'd not noticed that before! I think you might be right. And on the theme of FGW...  Modern history at Paddington, with HST's on parade. From left to right are 43002 "Sir Kenneth Grange"; 43192 & 43018 - 27.06.2018  Heading through Monxton, near Andover, 43023 & 43053 work 1O38 Plymouth to London Waterloo during Easter time diversions away from Paddington - 07.04.2014  Long before OHLE & IEP's were in the frame for the GWML, 43140 storms towards Didcot Parkway - 22.12.2008  Racing over the 70mph crossovers at Moreton Cutting, East of Didcot, 43171 & 43037 form 1P37 Oxford to London Paddington - 16.09.2014  Trailing a service for the Capital, 43189 sweeps through Hungerford Common. On the front is 43172 "Harry Patch" - 19.09.2018  Andy. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Slightly OT but this pleased me!  The Sunday Times' weekly Style magazine have a trends column, i.e. a barometer of things that they deem either hot or cold.  One of the "heating up" items this week is Train Guy. And the image used......? A graphic of an HST in the original BR livery!  Well IMO it was the best HST livery ever, which I reckon was very "cool"! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev52A Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 More HSTs in Gateshead from the 1980s..  Southbound near the site of Bensham station on 30th November 1986. The tracks in the foreground lead down to Dunston and eventually to Carlisle.  Southbound on the High Level Bridge on 2nd March 1987. The artwork in the foreground ('Bottle Bank') was removed when the new Hilton Hotel was built on the site.  Another at one of my favourite locations before trees and overhead wires spoilt the view - 43158 northbound near King Edward Bridge Junction on 20th June 1987. Looks like the driver has 'copped' this power car - the number on the front has been underlined!  Trevor 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
