First Great Western on the East Coast Mainline. 43010 passes Frinkley Lane (near Grantham) on 13 September 2019 with the 1A95 15:12 Hull to Kings Cross Hull Trains service. The five coach HST set is on hire to Hull Trains to cover for their unreliable Class 180 DMUs. GWR (or First Great Western as they were then) can sympathise with Hull Trains, as they know all about Class 180 unreliability, having used them not once, but on two completely separate occasions! |
