801228, 10.00 London King's Cross-Edinburgh Waverley (1S11, 4E) & 180104, GC 07.48 London King's Cross-Sunderland (1N90, 2L), London King's Cross station
Despite the ASLEF strike affecting the ECML there were still
some trains running. Control managed to get 801228 out and it is seen sitting at King's Cross ready to work the 1S11 10.00 service to Edinburgh. Meanwhile, Grand Central trains were running as usual despite the industrial action. A well-loaded (from what I could see through the windows) 180104 departs with the 07.48 service to Sunderland
