Now that's teamwork! Cracking job to all involved in this amazing project.
Now that’s what you call ‘working together’!
@GNRailUK 700001 and @LNER 801221 arriving at King’s Cross in perfect synchronicity - the first trains through Gasworks Tunnel east bore at 0450 this morning, open again after 44 years of being closed.
Well done @ECMLupgrade team!

Wonderful paint job, shame it's only out and about for such a short period...
With the retirement of our HSTs in May, it would have been a shame to not have a power car re-liveried in our EMR brand colours. 43274 is the only unique purple HST to enter service
43274 joins our Intercity Swallow 43102 as the only EMR-operated power car with unique liveries

An amazing effort guys, what a transformation and in such a short space of time!
🔊This is a platform transformation!
🧱At King’s Cross our reconstructed Platforms 0-6 are really taking shape now...
🐣This major #EastCoastUpgrade work is continuing over Easter - please minimise travel in line with government guidance & always check your journey beforehand.
