A short while later an up GNER working comes through the town with 1E12 1000 Aberdeen to Kings Cross. 43167 is framed by the archway over the down road and will pass the up starter signal.
An up ScotRail service leans into the curve with 170415, which left Aberdeen 8 minutes after the HST. The train is 1B19 1008 Aberdeen to Edinburgh and it is slowing for its Cupar stop.
