43206 Thorpe Grange 17 June 2010

43206 slowly coasts past Thorpe Grange on 17 June 2010 under adverse signals whilst working the 1A24 11:40 Leeds to Kings Cross East Coast service. Obviously some particularly slow moving traffic at Joan Croft Level Crossing, about a mile further on had resulted in the crossing keeper not being able to get the gates closed in time. By summer 2010, most of the East Coast HST sets had received the new silver and white livery, although as witnessed by the first coach here, the odd one still retains the former GNER dark blue colour scheme.
