In stark contrast to the livery-laden locomotive, the discreet but interesting nameplate attached to the flank of 91111 is seen as it stands at King's Cross having just arrived with the 06.05 1A04 service from Leeds. The small regimental badges to the right of the name 'For the Fallen' are from (in clockwise order from top left) the Honourable Artillery Company, the Tyneside Scottish, the Royal Dragoon Guards, the Royal Regiment of Scotland and finally, central the Yorkshire. All regiments were based through areas where the ECML and thus the Class 91s worked when in squadron service on the route.
