91126 & 91122, GR 12.00 Edinburgh-London King`s Cross (1E14, 8L), Newark Northgate station
I have never witnessed the relatively rare event of a
class 91 running blunt end first on the ECML. Whilst 91122 is running with its blunt end exposed it is at the back of this train with 91126 'Darlington Hippodrome' tucked in with its pantograph down. I am not sure what event caused this unusual occurrence but the 12.00 Edinburgh to King's Cross was running to-time and had done so since it left Waverley at lunchtime. It is seen here leaving Newark Northgate station.
