802304 'William Wilberforce' passes Tempsford working the 05.57 Beverley to London King's Cross service. The Class 802s have been in service with Hull Trains for nearly five years this December and have proved to be reliable (as to be expected) but still have the dreaded ironing board seats as do their GWR counterparts. It's sobering to think that open access operator Hull Trains has been in operation for nearly twenty-five years and it's worth remembering some of their past stock used, Class 170s, Class 222s, Class 86s hauling Mk. III stock, HSTs and of course the dreadful Class 180s.
