43010 Claypole (Barnby Lane) 22 July 2019

In the dying days of HST operations on the East Coast Mainline, there is added variety with the introduction of First Great Western liveried sets hired by Hull Trains from GWR to cover for a shortage of the unreliable Class 180 DMUs. On 22 July 2019, 43010 speeds past Claypole with the 1H03 11:48 Kings Cross to Hull service. This was running 25 minutes late, although there was clearly nothing wrong with either power car, judging by the speed it was travelling. With only five coaches instead of eight, there obviously isn't going to be a power problem!
