    Birmingham Central 7521 On the X1 to Coventry, a time where x1 was pure diesel, was quite fun seeing these go up to speed, I’m not sure on how hybrid did the speed bits of the X1, but these mmcs were top tier, a time people will never get to experience no more

    D7523, The Last Class 25 to visit Skegness.

    D7523 rolls into Annan on July 17th 1985 in charge of the 17.40 Carlisle - Glasgow Central service. On the opposite track the 'Fairlie' nuclear flask train passes, running from Hunterston to Sellafield for processing of spent material, the train this day hauled by a Class 20.
