Perfect timing from the lens of Bill Atkinson as two HSTs pass on the East Coast mainline at Abbots Ripton, March 1988; I know many prefer the original livery but this isn't too shabby :)

And so it leaves. It was an absolute pleasure to see it's last hurrah. I have watched it at varying distances over last few days. Thanks to all the team at @LNER - what a ride, what a joy.

EXACTLY at the point where #InterCity125 broke World Speed Record (Stoke Bank, 148mph, 1987) today we ran a @Hornby 125 @ 125mph at 1:76 scale as the train did 125mph. SO! what was our scale speed relative to ground?�
