These trains used to be the pride of GNER and were called the Mallard.

Today, LNER operates this on journeys from London King's Cross (KGX) to northern destinations such as Leeds and Bradford Forster Square.

As they are gradually getting replaced by the newer Hitachi A trains, it was quite fortunate to be able to ride on one of these on this day.

This train consists of 9 x Mark 4 passenger carriages powered by a single British Rail Class 91 Power Car and an unpowered Driving Van Trailer at the other end. The trains run at a maximum service speed of 125 mph.
