Former GWR 43023 'Sqn Ldr Harrold Starr - one of the few' stands at the head of the 1H06 18.48 King's Cross to Hull. Still in its First Great Western paintwork, the HST set is being leased from Angel Trains to Hull Trains being off lease from the Western Region. I hope that the passengers appreciated the far superior environment of a Mk. III HST set rather than a noisy class 180 that ought to be working this service. If not, then they should at least appreciate the extra capacity afforded by an HST set, if a little shorter than normal.
