Pausing in Queen Street station is Network Rail's New Measurement Train. Drawbar fitted 43014 stands at the buffer stops next to turbostar 170418.
Getting another view of 170418 and the NMT with powercar 43062 at the far end.
The train slowly departs Queen Street station and should take the 1 in 45 climb in its stride. The working is 1Q24 to Newcastle Heaton. A very pleasant surprise.
