Here we see the newest refurbished HST powercar leading the full set of refurbished carriages as they storm up the Lickey bank with the 06:40 Plymouth-Aberdeen service

Another shot of CrossCountry HST climbing the Lickey with the 06:40 service from Plymouth to Aberdeen

Since the September timaetable change we finally get a chance to photograph an HST climbing the 1 in 37 gradient from Bromsgrove to Blackwell with the sun in the correct place.
