8th April 2022 Former EMR-liveried Colas Rail Freight HST powercar No.43274 leads Ex LNER powercar No.43272 north at Beambridge on the 8th April 2022. The pair were operating the Network Rail Mentor test train as 1Z18 16:22 Exeter St Davids - Taunton. The HST had been plagued by late running throughout its operations in the south west, and had to cut out part of its normal diagram in order to make up time. The Exeter - Taunton leg was to allow the test train to re-join its final diagram to London Paddington. (Photo: Adam Hiscock)
