Classic Traction at Kings Cross Station
The HSTs are due to be withdrawn soon so this was my final trip to the capital to video and photograph them. In this video we met many enthusiastic drivers and friendly staff members. They even allowed us up to photograph the cab. All photos were taken with permission.
I stayed there throughout the day and finished up in the evening. I also managed to catch LNER's 43238 which has been de vinyl-ed and painted into a plain red colour. Enjoy!
