FirstGroup is the parent company of open access operator Hull Trains who started operations on the ECML in 2000. Since this time, they have operated a number of different trains from the highly unsatisfactory class 172 DMUs to a set of Mk.III stock hauled by an 86 and DVT. Today, they operate a fleet of cast-off class 180 Adelantes one of which is seen here arriving at King's Cross. 180109 is just arriving with the 10.30 1A93 from Hull.
