Friend Peter Rose has sent me his latest collection of images captured whilst out on his daily walk.
As usual they are posted without cropping and with his consent.
43357 paired with 43303 ‘CrossCountry’. BREL Crewe built HST

Working 1V54 the 0808 Edinburgh-Bristol Temple Meads.
I know this location but I have never noticed before how the gradient changes under the bridge.
222104 ‘EMR INTERCITY’. Bombardier Transportation built DMU
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
Working 1C40 the1129 Sheffield-London St. Pancras
The new livery is slowly spreading across the fleet.
Whilst I like the new livery, I think that looked at more or less head on that the main colour is very close to the shade of purple used by Cross Country.
Just compare this image with the HST above.
‘Abellio’ the operators of the East Midlands franchise has committed themselves to withdrawing these units and replacing them with Class 800’s.
I would hope that another operator would find a use for the units which are only 15 years old and I would suggest still have a useful life in them.
It would be a shame to see them scrapped.
222005 ‘EMR INTERCITY’. Bombardier Transportation built DMU
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
Working 1F20 the 1022 London St. Pancras- Sheffield.
156410 ‘EMR REGIONAL’, Metro Cammell built Super Sprinter DMU
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
Working 2A30 the 1039 Newark Castle-Matlock.
