Kings Cross To York
Take this cab ride alongside the driver aboard a sleek, powerful and fast class 91 Bo-Bo electric locomotive from London's Kings Cross station to York. A fascinating high-speed run along the East Coast Main Line (ECML), on the former Great Northern Railway (GNR) and North Eastern Railway (NER).
You may recognise some of the locations along the route: Finsbury Park, Wood Green (where the trains are serviced), Potters Bar, Hatfield, Welwyn, Stevenage, Hitchin, Peterborough, Stoke Bank (where 'Mallard' achieved the world record speed for a steam locomotive), Grantham, Newark, Retford and Doncaster.
No commentary, but the locations are captioned and indexed.
