European Railroad Discussion > Loco hauled passenger trains

Three from the past seven days.

Last Sunday night's Highland Sleeper from Inverness, Fort William and Aberdeen to London Euston, but diverted over the East Coast Mainline on account of track repair work on Sundays on its normal route. Here it is passing Harringay in the North London suburbs, on time at 07:35 Monday morning

Later the same day, and a mile and a bit further up the line at Alexandra Palace the 18:33 London King's Cross to Bradford Forster Square in full Virgin East Coast warpaint behind 91108

And taken yesterday evening at King's Sutton on the Chiltern mainline 68015 on the 17:50 London Marylebone to Banbury

Thanks, yes and a blast on the horn.

Great pictures! Thank you for sharing!

86235,
Who's coaching stock is that in the third photo? I don't recognize the livery. Motive power looks like what, Wrexham and Shropshire?
Cheers,
Nick

 The set is owned by Chiltern but was restored in original BR Inter-city livery by a now defunct company called Cargo B. That's what all Mark 3 cars looked like when new. The loco is in Chiltern Mainline livery, which is ex Wrexham & Shropshire.
