'The Flying Banana'
The 4-weekly visit of the NMT to our region - today!
Readers may be interested to follow the progress of the train in the link below. This is the 4-weekly visit of the Network Rail 'New Measurement Train' which is formed of class 43 HST power cars sandwiching a selection of coaches containing high-tech measuring and monitoring equipment.
Subject to the usual caveats, this week we should see a pair of yellow power cars at either end of the train - the first time for several years that we have been visited by a fully yellow HST.

Don't forget to send in your photos to [email protected] if you should manage to catch it on its travels!
