I was in Edinburgh yesterday and got some photos. Some taken at about 1130, some a bit later at around 1340. See the set on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aebrookes/sets/72157594463498656/detail/

I think that was probably the 1405 Virgin from Edinburgh to Birmingham.


Note: The EXIF times from the camera are one hour late due to me not having changed the time over from BST.

Edit: EXIF times are still wrong but I've corrected the 'Taken on' times.
