A lovely image. I do enjoy the southbound Cheiftain on a winter's morning.Just passed the Dalwhinnie Distillery. The 'early morning' sunshine casts an orange glow on the snow covered hills, also a dusting beside the track.
Just enjoyed my last HST breakfast and looking out to see if there are any deer about as we head over Druimochter. Is there any better way to spend a morning?
Glad to see on RTT you weren't held too long.I'm on the chieftain too, sad this'll be the last time but a nice run over the top with snow on the hills and the sun coming up. Now stuck at Edinburgh with no driver!
Thanks! Now on the ECML, only ten mins behind schedule.Glad to see on RTT you weren't held too long.
Was remembering being on the last Deltic service train out of Kings Cross on 31st Dec 1981 which was for York but terminated at Grantham (where I got off) because of congestion following a broken rail at Barkston. That was sad, but the derision aimed at the HST onto which passengers were transferred was quite unnecessary.
Hope the rest of your journey goes well.
Unless they have borrowed 43037 from ScotRail and renumbered it, there’s a number wrong in there!That's the last HST Chieftain out of Inverness on time, 43296 + 43237. Still dark here, just the first glimmers of daylight over the hills as we cross Culloden viaduct. Coach M is well filled. There was a good smell of bacon as I walked up the platform at Inverness.
Yup, should be 239.Unless they have borrowed 43037 from ScotRail and renumbered it, there’s a number wrong in there!
43239.Anyone know the rear of 43 296 on the 1Y88 YRK to KGX on 5/12/19.
Thank you kind sir.43239.
Welcome to these forums.Is there any more hst to go through Newcastle ?
Would love to go Edinburgh - Newcastle this weekend if
Not I’ll buy the special hst train next week.
43257/318 on set EC59.Caught sight of late running 1E23 Aberdeen to KingsX near Thirsk on Sunday 8th. Probably the last scheduled 125 service I'll see. Does anybody know what set it was?
Much appreciated - many thanks Mike43257/318 on set EC59.

A third set went to Gascoigne Wood yesterday, apparently the power cars were 43305 & 43310. Anyone know the stock consist?
Where is Gascoigne Wood sorry, does this mean that set is moving to EMR?
Built as coal sidings, for a part of the Selby mine complex wasn’t it? The Gascogne Wood site was a drift mine on the western side of the coalfield.Gascoigne Wood is near Sherburn in Elmet in North Yorkshire adjacent to the Leeds - Selby line.
It's about 20 mins from Neville Hill and it would appear that LNER sets moving to EMR are being stabled there

Thanks very much for that! Glad to hear that EMR sets are being stored there. 43310 is my favourite power car as I've had some great journeys with it including my first HST to Aberdeen and on the Chieftain too. Glad that it appears to have a future!Gascoigne Wood is near Sherburn in Elmet in North Yorkshire adjacent to the Leeds - Selby line.
