24th August 2019 Rare track indeed for an LNER East Coast HST set. Running on Great Western metals No. 43251 and No. 43257 'Bounds Green' with set EC52 pass Norton Fitzwarren on Saturday 24th August 2019. One of two LNER sets hired-in for the day to operate the Cross Country services this refreshing looking train is returning north with 1S53 13:26 Plymouth - Edinburgh Cross Country Service.
