Whilst the thief deserves his 5 minutes of fame, the use of the stock photograph made me chuckle.

Currently travelling south, being hauled by 91101.

Has it been at the London end for a while or is it just a recent quirk?

Can happen sometimes, especially at Newcastle if its routed over the HLB from Durham, in which case the 91 will face the London end.

I thought initially the set had been flipped around, like if it had came out over the HLB.
However, the coaches were set up as normal - with 1st being at the London end and B being at the Northern end.

I didn't get to see what was behind B unfortunately.

If the coaches were in the correct position, then it's possible a TDM failure is the reason.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't that the correct way?

DVT facing south and 91 facing north? Thats the FS liveried DVT, which was originally on the same set as 91101.

It is. You are right.
I was hoping to have deleted the photo before anyone noticed.

Sitting here looking at it and then noticed the '205' in the bottom right hand corner, which indicates it is the DVT

Does anyone know where the EC repaints are being done?
I saw 91109 parked up amongst the goods trains at Doncaster the other day and wasn't sure if it there had been a failure, it was due some work/maintenance or was getting a re-paint.

Maybe one to keep an eye on - particularly with it being a named example.

Bounds Green (225) and Edinburgh Craigentinny (125), I believe.

Heavy maintenance and exams are usually undertaken by Wabtec in Doncaster. Could be there from a failure or a forecasted exam.

Assuming the white St Andrews cross is mean to represent the Saltire, I am not sure the red and white will go down well with too many Scots. Maybe, including Mr Souter.

It looks like Dicky B is more bothered about his branding than a 15th C colour scheme.
