Back to Back HST Power Cars 43285 & 43321 at - 04th January 2024
The former Cross Country power cars have acquired by Colas Rail to operate Network Rail test trains which I suspect may kill 37 hauled test trains which would be a sad sight. The rather unusual sight was heading from Derby to Slateford Depot near Edinburgh and was running 10 early here which meant it was a clash with the Liverpool express.
Still a nice shot and a great way to kick off 2024. Linked below, I have included other back to back HST power cars I have seen in recent times.
