	365537 tails an 8 car formation speeding through Hornsey, in the north of London, presumably on a Cambridge flyer service
	43068 screams through Hornsey, on the down fast, with the 1127 London Kings Cross - Sunderland service. The train contained no less than 3 First Class coaches, despite 2 of them being declassified
	43080 was on the rear, Grand Central powercars are all still fitted with Paxman Valenta engines as installed upon construction. The Grand Central fleet is also wholly made up of buffet fitted powercars
