A busy... and different day at York station.

A  busy train arrives from Scarborough.
Something old, something new... a class 37 and a brand new class 88 electro diesel or a multi mode loco in today's speak. 

Now that Grand Central have handed their HSTs back (they are being refurbished and then used by East Midlands Trains) all of their services are operated by these class 180 5 car dmus. 


A Colas class 70 heads north through the station light engine. One has been on lease to Freightliner recently to assess their suitability for use on coal and biomass trains.

The loco stands next to the new signalling centre.
