43309, EM 18.34 London St. Pancras-Leeds (1D63, 2L), Highfield bridge, Oakley 
 The penultimate HST working from London......

Under stormy skies that had just deposited a very heavy bout of rain the last but one ever HST service train to leave London is seen. EMR's 1D63 18.34 St. Pancras to Leeds service passes Oakley just north of Bedford taken from the village's Highfield road bridge. According to postings on the internet, there was a friendly and celebratory atmosphere on-board the train with staff joining in with the many enthusiasts who were travelling on the train no doubt with the normals looking on in a bemused fashion not quite grasping the significance of their particular journey!
