43206 passes Botany Bay (near Retford) on 10 March 2009 with the 1E14 09:52 Aberdeen to Kings Cross 'Northern Lights' service. Despite the former operator GNER having thrown in the towel over a year previously, the entire train is still in the obsolete operator's colour scheme, albeit with subtle National Express East Coast rebranding on the white bodyside stripe. In fact, as 43206 was renumbered from 43006 in the same month that the company ceased operating, it presumably never carried full GNER livery and the number 43206 at the same time.
