There was a staffing issue with the 1B69 17:45 Nottingham to St Pancras International East Midlands Railway service on 14 May 2021, which saw it cancelled at East Midlands Parkway. I was waiting to photograph it a few miles south at Normanton on Soar. Eventually, after a 20 minute delay, it appeared, minus passengers, now running as the 5B69 ECS, with 43309 leading.
