Trains in transition at King's Cross. Still wearing their grey state-owned East Coast livery, that itself was based around the previously failed operator National Express' paint scheme, 91120 and 43314 wait at King's Cross. From the first day of last month, Stagecoach (90%) and Virgin (10%) have taken over the franchise in a joint venture branded as Virgin East Coast. The branding has been applied to the side of 91120 as it waits with the 12.30 to Newcastle. The HST retains its East Coast branding as the leading power car of the 12.35 to Leeds.
