Led by power car 43307 the 10.00 Kings Cross to Aberdeen HST service approaches the summit of Stoke Bank near the Lincolnshire village of Westby. Whilst East Coast (as part of the National Express empire) has not been particularly successful in recent years at least they have retained some titled trains evoking a past era. This HST service is one of four that the company promote being titled the 'Northern Lights', I was to see one of the others later in the day at Grantham.
