 An HST would have fitted perfectly in this spot near the village of Harlaston in Staffordshire and this was our intention if CrossCountry had not substituted one for this, 221130! Up until last week, the 1V50 06.06 Edinburgh Waverley to Plymouth was an HST turn but with today being CrossCountry's last day operating these iconic trains Andy and I made the journey to capture the penultimate train but it was not to be. In the end, the final working was the down 1E73 16:27 Plymouth to Leeds with power car 43008 (Intercity swallow livery) leading with 43007(as built BR livery) that passed this part of the country after darkness.
