47733 Eastern Star passes through the sharply curved platforms of Hartlepool station on 12 April 1998 with the diverted 1S11 09:00 York to Glasgow Central GNER service. DVT 82229 is directly behind the locomotive. The twisting nature of the line through Hartlepool can be gauged by the fact that 91004 on the rear of the train can be seen in the background, almost directly above the lead loco. The North Sea can be seen in the distance, with a tanker on the horizon. One of the ever present gulls is flying over the rear of the train.
