GC 43084 & 43123 silently depart Sunderland (17/04/2009)

Upon arrival at Sunderland, the lead-PC on a GC set is dead, so gets propelled out of the station by the back end...here we see 43084 dead and 43123 doing the honours, the silence from the front-end and black of GC's livery giving a slightly sinister impression!!

thats awesome acceleration from just one power car. so they just turn the front one on while at speed? 5*

not exactly 'at speed', but as soon as it gets round the corner into the open yeh

before a grand central arrives at Sunderland the staff have to disable the fire alarms then switch on the big vents. the reason why the front engine is always dead in the station is because the vents cant cope cleaning the air with 2 big engines on at the same time.

yep, sounds about right!!
