Grand Central HST 125 Coupled To Another Grand Central 125

The day previous to this video being taken, a GC HST had broken down at Biggleswade. My partner who works in Network Rail Control, decided to couple the broken one to the working one. Never before been done with buffers!He went over to York Station at around 12.50am to catch a glimpse of his handy work ;)

@Cazkumali Heaton is the Depot in Newcastle where Grand Central's Trains are (ahem) maintained. They look after Northern Rail and East Coast too.
