I went for a trip with John (aka 'Yings must die') and Scott Lowes, to Carlisle for the GNER HSTs today.
We also met Martin Taylor who was on our train back from Carlisle.
GNER HST thrashes eastbound through Hexham
Typical Carlisle scene with a Pendolino and Voyager.
How many people does it take to uncouple a 57?
Carlisle has the luxury of direct trains to Inverness during these diversions. This GNER HST makes an impressive sight as it snakes its way across to the far side of the station.
Our train back to Newcastle arrives
A Voyager was waiting at a red signal for the single line chord to access Carlisle station, creating an interesting effect.
The Tyne Valley line is very scenic
Side by side: Our HST arrived shortly before another departed.

I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks to Scott and John for a great day out!
