Hello,
Always knew I took a pic of this, just found it! Quality or view not great admittedly but not seen another pic of this sort of thing.

No idea of date but likely 89/90 and probably a Saturday morning. All coupled up.

looks like 2 class 91s coupled up to a dvt or another 91
It's the south end of Kings Cross and they're coupled to the DVT, so the carriage rake's the right way round at least. That's a very rare capture: I've very occasionally seen a pair of 91s leading at the north end, presumably to avoid a light engine movement or due to failure of the train loco before departure from Kings Cross, but I've never seen a shot of a pair of 91s working blunt end first before! Perhaps a combination of a TDM or AWS fault on the DVT, plus a requirement to return a loco from Leeds to Bounds Green for whatever reason?
