43272, EM 06.35 Leeds-London St. Pancras (1B23, 3E), Wymington SP946644
The penultimate up HST working......
In pouring rain the
1B23 06.35 Leeds to St. Pancras climbs Sharbrook bank past Wymington with former Virgin East Coast/LNER power car 43272 leading set NL57 with 43309 bringing up the rear. The driver gave me a cheery wave as he passed and a firm blow on the horn. I was surprised that I was the only enthusiast at this open spot that was close to a number of public footpaths but it did require a fair trek from my parked van donning my GoreTex waterproof and boots!
