A regular feature of Summer Saturdays is the use of unusual traction on trains from the north of England to Newquay. In 2008, National Express East Coast HSTs have been doing the honours and here we see 43307 with the 1V29 07:24 Manchester Piccadilly to Newquay service speeding through Ashchurch station on 23 August 2008. I wonder if this combination of new liveried power car and re-branded former GNER stock will permanently mark this as a 2008 picture? Certainly last year these trains were all in GNER livery, and presumably next year, if they continue to use the same stock they will be all be in the new silver livery.
