800203, GR 12.30 London King's Cross-Edinburgh Waverley (1S17, 1L), Arlesey station
Taken very much against the light but 800203 strikes quite
a pose as it takes the sharp and suitable cambered curve at Arlesey station working the 12.30 King's Cross to Edinburgh express. At thirty-seven miles from King's Cross Arlesey station in its present state was opened on 03.10.88 following its closure nearly thirty years earlier. With its wide-open views of the busy ECML and its curves it offers some splendid photographic opportunities but beware of the lighting!
