43257 & 43274 With The NEW MEASUREMENT TRAIN | 1Q18 Newcastle - London Kings Cross | 1/4/24
Today we have a different video focused on the NMT at speed. This was quite the lineup as it was operated with former LNER powercar 43257 and former EMR powercar 43274. This was a great working to just notice that 43257 is doing what it did five years ago speeding down the ECML to London Kings Cross! Cannot say the same for ex EMR 43274. I do hope these locos retain their liveries as it would be nice to still see former VTEC and EMR powercars still in their old liveries. Especially 43274 as it is unique and the only HST that shows a visible sign of old EMR ownership!
