Colas Rail Class 43 HST (43277+43257), a Grand Central 180, a Lumo 803 and Azuma 801s at Arlesey.

It was amazing to catch a second colas rail HST set at Arlesey station, with 43277 and 43257 in what is definitely my favourite contemporary HST livery, passing at a leisurely pace running the Network Rail MENTOR service. Paired with a cool summer sunset, a swooping Grand Central 180, several Azumas and a rare lumo Class 803 this was definitely one of my favourite recent spotting sessions on the ECML! 0:00-Grand Central Class 180 0:12-LNER Class 801 0:26-LNER Class 801 0:40-LNER Class 801 0:50-Lumo Class 803 0:58-LNER Class 801 1:06-Colas Rail Class 43 HST 43277 and 43257 1:24-LNER Class 801 1:39-LNER Class 801
