Which Power Car?

[james50man]

Hi, I have been trying to get a power car number for many years but to date I've not managed to get it. I was travelling on a HST from York - Kings Cross on Sunday 10th August 1986 which was diverted via Lincoln due to engineering works. The front power car was 43122 in original yellow/blue InterCity125 livery but I've no idea what the rear power car was. I think it was in the original InterCity livery with black replacing the blue... I know 43120 was with 43122 on 5th August 1986 5 days earlier. Can anybody confirm what the rear power car was or who 43122 partnered the day before and/or day after. I know it's a very tall order giving it was 32 years ago but someone may have a record of it... Many thanks and any light on this will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome,

Ooh splendid. Thank you for that. Getting closer to finding out what the elusive power car was. I'm hoping it was 43067 now. Just need to find out that day or in between Friday and Monday. That's a great help and very much appreciated. Not heard of the website in the link so will take a look. Cheers.
