The through tracks have gone and the wires have gone up at York since HSTs first appeared here in this livery, but the famous trainshed still provides a fabulous backdrop as retro-liveried No. 43007 is captured at the rear of 1V50, the 06.06 Edinburgh-Plymouth, on August 28. Intercity ‘Swallow’-liveried No. 43008 was at the leading end.
