D9009, outward leg of The Leeds & Hull Executive, 06.00 Willington-London Kings Cross (via Leeds, Hull & Spalding) (1Z11), White House Crossing TL227777 One of the reasons that I chose this spot at White House Crossing just north of Huntingdon was that The Leeds and Hull Executive railtour would be on the fast line as there is no up slow at this point. Being on the up fast would mean that the train would be working hard to keep its path avoiding delaying other trains. I was right as D9009 'Alycidon' was at full chat and making all the right noise as it raced south complete with the flying thistle on the front. It was also great to see a long and uniformed rake of blue and grey Mk.II stock to complete the picture. I must admit that the whole feast of sight and sound triggered a little emotion in me!
