43274 'Spirit of Sunderland' emerges from Mound Tunnel as it enters Edinburgh Waverley station leading the 14.52 Aberdeen to King's Cross HST service. Travelling on an HST along the north east coast of Scotland and then down the ECML is a lovely way to enjoy a long and scenic railway journey. I hope that the new IETs, to be introduced in the next few years, are a worthy and appropriate replacement for these veterans of the rails.
