Virgin Trains Variations....

-
While all of the locos and power cars used by Virgin Trains East Coast are now in their livery there are a few variants as shown here. 

Loco Number 91101 is in this FLYING SCOTSMAN livery and carries the name "Flying Scotsman". This appeared on the turntable at the National Railway Museum when the original LNER loco "Flying Scotsman" was brought back into service after its very expensive overhaul.

Loco No. 91111 is named FOR THE FALLEN and is in this 'remembrance' themed livery.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the National Railway Museum on its present site, power car number 43238 was given this special livery and named NATIONAL RAILWAY MUSEUM 40 YEARS 1975-2015.

 When the branch line from Hull to Hornsea was closed in October 1964 the Station building was left to deteriorate. This is what it looked like by late summer 1985. However, it is a Grade 2 listed building so it could not easily be demolished and it was a rather grand building so it was converted to flats, some of which were available for let as self catering accommodation.  These images show the present state of the buildings and area. The area in front of the old station is now part of the Trans Pennine walk. The station house has been made into two flats with the ground floor being holiday accommodation.

  There are very few class 91 diagrams into York these days but what there are are made up of refurbished and reliveried sets. This is the Kings Cross to York which forms the 12.02 stopping service to Kings Cross.  These are the pacer replacements. A great improvement.
