43184 Standish Junction 15 May 2023

The 1V44 06:11 Leeds to Plymouth CrossCountry service passes Standish Junction on 15 May 2023, with 43184 Laira Diesel Depot leading, and 43366 HST 40 Celebrating 40 Years of High Speed Train services on the Cross Country network bringing up the rear. I was using a long lens in order to clear the safety railings where the two sets of lines start to separate in height. This was very fortunate, as the sun was coming out briefly from the rapidly increasing cloud, but it still wasn't out where I was standing!
