Night Photo DMU Class 222002 East Midland Trains Wellingborough Station 2016

Night photo of East Midlands Trains, Class 222002 'The Cutlers' Company' , DMU, seen here at Wellingborough railway station in September 2016. 

 

With Class 66005 in the background, this placed me in a bit of a quandary when it came to taking its photo.

At that particular time I was intent on photographing the Class 66 when a Class 222 DMU, - one of a fleet of 27 train sets - pulled into the station.  

Glad that the Class 66 was safely stored on my camera memory card, I quickly re-positioned the tripod, reset the camera and prayed that the East Midlands Trains dmu would not move before the required amount of seconds had passed to produce an exposure. 

Seconds passed by at the rate of one an hour as I nervously waited, holding my breath, and crossing for luck everything I had.  

Luckily, photographing the Class 222 turned out ok with only a few seconds to spare before it began to move away.  A close look at its lights will show that it slipped back slightly before gaining grip.



Class 222002 DMU was built between 2004 and 2005 and allocated to Derby Etches Park. The unit coach numbers are as follows: 60242  60346  60342  60622  60562  60544  60162.

News Update:
Seeing East Midlands Trains colourful livery of red, white, orange and red flashing along the railway tracks, will soon become a thing of the past.
Abellio will take over the East Midlands Trains franchise on Saturday 18th August 2019. The Class 43 HST Intercity 125 and Class 222 diesel multiple unit will gradually be phased out by brand new Hitachi trains that will be a variant of the bullet-nosed Class 800 bio-mode DMU.
The new trains will have a lavender livery and be branded with 'EMR' on both sides.
