Running north on the up line, General Motors EMD Class 66044 in English, Welsh & Scottish Railway livery spotted passing through Northampton station in 2014.


Class 66 diesel locomotive, Class 66044, was built in December 1998 by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and allocated to Toton TMD (Notts.).

At the time that this photo was taken Northampton station was still in the process of reconstruction, as can be seen by the temporary footbridge above the train.

Finished its operations for the day a London Midland Trains Class 350 stands on the station sidings in the background.

The new, modernised Northampton station was opened on the 12th January 2015, three months later than its proposed date.

East Midlands Trains Class 222011 is spotted at Loughborough station on the 30th August 2016 bearing the poppy decals, "Hounouring Our Veterans WW1 Centenary".


The Meridian diesel multiple unit carries the name, "Sheffield City Battalion 1914-1918".

Capable of a top speed of 125mph., the 5-car units were built between 2003 and 2005 by Bombardier in Derby and carry the coach numbers: 60251  60921  60631  60531  60171.

27 Class 222 dmu trainsets in total were manufactured made up of a mix of five and seven-car sets.  All 27 trains are operated by East Midland Trains and allocated to Derby.
 
 

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.
