ECML Peterborough to Newark

This section of the East Coast Main Line takes in a very famous stretch of track, Stoke Bank, the scene of A4 locomotive 4468 Mallard's world steam speed record breaking romp on 3rd July 1938.

    I missed the number of the DVT but the train loco was 91130. 1A34 1405 Newcastle to Kings Cross tears past at 125mph with the previous Eurostar just visible in the left background.
    The very rare sight of an EWS mail train. 67011 powers a featherweight load of four empty NIA vans forming 1M78 1436 Tyne Yard to Willesden Railnet.
    This is the second time this HST has been seen this day. Having arrived at London at 1408, it sat for 82 minutes refilling with consumables and passengers before heading back to Scotland as 1S01 1530 Kings Cross to Aberdeen.
