With the sun having just dived behind a thin troublesome cloud the intensity of the light on this summer's day has been a little tempered as 360112 waits to depart from Bedford station with the 1Y18 09.40 Corby to St. Pancras service. With energising of the wires north from Bedford in 2021 the former Greater Anglia Class 360s have now taken over all operations on this route allowing the Meridians to be concentrated on the the MML further north. This, off course, enabled the remaining HSTs to be removed from the route and be taken off-lease.
