Catching the low afternoon sunshine partially obscured by some troublesome cloud, 91129 heads north with the 13.00 King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverley 1S18 express. Despite the well-documented reliability problems that have come in phases throughout their thirty-year life, the class 91s are strong, powerful and fast locomotives that have provided good service on the ECML. I am sure that there is life still left in them and the superb Mk. IV stock and that another operator will take them on.
