I like the shots of the GC HST alongside a GNER HST, the different liverys make them look like different trains.

[oashmole]

The Grand Central HSTs look smart, pity about the buffers though.

Thanks alot, always wondered what it was,

1A60 is the headcode of the train, each train that runs on the mainline has a headcode, it is so the signaller knows where the train is going to, plus also is there so that any railway staff that have live maps can search for the train to see where it is and if it is running late.

Just asking, on the description it says 1A60 what does that mean?

I think the GC class 43s look great with the small yellow strip, Between the windscreen and the lights! They look smart!
