801201, GR 12.33 London King's Cross-Leeds (1D14, 9L), Arlesey station
Taking the cambered and curved track to the south of
Arlesey station 801201 passes at speed with the 12.33 King's Cross to Leeds service. The Canon G1X camera used to take this image is a super and compact piece of kit for railway photography but its Achilles heel is its maximum shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. When a fast train is passing and when close to it as seen here there is always going to be a little motion blur. Whilst not always visible on this site close inspection reveals its presence.
