First time visiting a railway station in 2021. Only to meet a friend off a train (hello Mark T), which happened to be the Class 91 – 91111 For The Fallen. Going on my first train trip of 2021, on Bank Holiday Monday! Which I am so looking forward too.

So pleased with myself, third 30+ mile cycle in a row! Did 36.38 miles, also making it the longest one of 2020 so far!

P.S. Sorry no photos of myself, you will have to make do photos these LNER photos, I took at Tallington level crossing.
So looking forward to last ever trip on a HST on the ECML. Getting the train from Grantham up to York (which I believe, will be a InterCity 225), then boarding the Highland Chieftain service, which will be operated by diesel-powered InterCity 125 High Speed Train for the very last time! Going all the way up to Inverness.
This will be my third time using the Highland Chieftain service. Really, really looking forward to it!
Once up in Inverness, hoping to do the Far North Line, for the very first time!
At long last, I got a good photo of the Class 91 (#91119) in the ‘Swallow’ livery! Really going to miss these locomotives, when they all come off the ECML by the middle of next year.
Here are some more photos, I took at London King’s Cross railway station this week…

Yes, I did tick off London King’s Cross railway station, a long time ago! Way back in 30th November 2002 in fact. But like more others, I always head straight to underground and head into the centre of London. But not this time, for once I walked the other way and went to end of the platforms to get some photos…

Since I was waiting for Mark T to get to Grantham railway station, it was time to take some more photos! Going to really miss, seeing the InterCity 125 trains, when they start being removed from the EMCL. So better get photos of them, while I can!

Since, I am sure that most of will know, that I love railways, railway stations and of course trains… It was about time, I sorted out a trains photo gallery! Which I’ve sorted by Class of train.
