Description
I have been trying to catch a Colas Rail HST set since I started catching trains nearly a year ago, and I was very glad to finally catch a set on its way down from Newcastle, including a former EMR HST in the old LNER livery and a former CrossCountry HST, two liveries I have not been fortunate enough to see until now and particularly spectacular ones at that, the LNER livery looking as it once would have speeding down the ECML alongside 801s and a 180.
