Mike and I were not able to find out what event precipitated this unusual locomotive combination at the rear of the 12.00 Edinburgh to King's Cross. 91122 provides the power whilst 91126 'Darlington Hippodrome' is tucked in having a free ride at the rear of the train as it leaves Newark Northgate station. The train was bang on time, as it was for its whole journey from Scotland apart from a slight delay into King's Cross, so failure en route appears not to be the cause. However, notice that the blunt end of 91122 appears strewn with squashed flies so it is possible that the combination worked north on an earlier train.
