91118, GR 16.33 Kings Cross-Leeds (1D22, 20L) & 43315, GR 17.00 London Kings Cross-Edinburgh (1S26, 14L), London Kings Cross station
91118 waits at the head of the 16.33 to Leeds
whilst 43315 heads the 17.00 HST service to Edinburgh. Would I prefer to travel in a Mk.IV behind a powerful electric locomotive or in the classic environment of a Mk.III HST coach? If I'm honest, I would not care as long as it was not a modern 'plastic' train where the seats don't line up with the windows and the seating is more akin to a cramped Easyjet flight!
