Class 170 (3-car) Turbostar (170 102) of Midland Mainline, seen upon turnaround at London King's Cross. These units have been running since their introduction in 1998-99 on semi-fast services between London and Derby/Nottingham/Sheffield. They occasionally run on "Project Rio" (i.e. MML services between London-St Pancras and Manchester Piccadilly running as a relief for the West Coast Mainline during the blockades around Crewe and Stafford). This sight will soon be history. In 2004, MML will replace with Meridians 222s, a more refined version of Virgin Voyagers 220s. MML 170s will migrate to other franchises operated by National Express, which also runs MML. One can also notice a refurbished HST of MML on the right, with the new livery. 09th December 2003.

Class seen at Cossington heading a Up working. I like this shot even though the subject is not the centre of the picture, and also I liked the framing of the subject, something I would like to do more off when location permits. This is Midland Mainline Turbostar heading south on 19 October 2003. Copyright belongs to Andy Ducker, photograph taken on Canon EOS10D, capturing in RAW format. Email address ecml@yahoo.co.uk.
