Apart from in Scotland, most of the time the East Coast fleet of HSTs operate under the wires, which limits the photographic possibilities. However, there is one train in each direction serving Hull, which uses the non-electrified line via Selby. The morning train runs straight out of the sun as it leaves Hull, but once it passes Selby and turns onto what was the original East Coast Mainline, the lighting is very nearly ideal. On 17 September 2012, 43307 leads the 1A12 07:00 Hull to Kings Cross past Burn Lane in fine early morning light, and with the added bonus of the stock being the rebranded former East Midlands Trains set.
