MK3 DVT (821xx) on the ECML

Until last Friday's 'Capital's Scot' railtour...has that ever happened before? (Edinburgh aside!)

Has LSL ever...and did BR ever?

82115 used by Hull Trains

 

[Pit_buzzer]

Hull trains did it with their class 86 and mk3s

And the EWS management train with a 67

And they'd be hauled to Doncaster from Norwich by GBRf (and later Cotswold Rail) for overhauls at wabtec for the operator (One/NXEA/GA) and ROSCO (Porterbrook)

I recall a Virgin Crosscountry service bringing a West Coast mark 2 rake, complete with DVT, to Newcastle on at least one occasion circa 1999. DVT tucked behind the class 47.

 

[Spartacus]

Arsenal used to use the 'Pretendolino' rake a lot to get to away matches, frequently on the ECML.

Thanks all, lots of gaps filled in, had forgotten or never realised a lot of those
