A 'grabbed' photo of Class 47790 UK diesel locomotive bearing the name, 'Galloway Princess', heading the Northern Belle luxury train through Northampton station.  Sadly, the date when I witnessed this, was for some inexplicable reason not recorded.

A section of a Class 350 electric multiple unit in London Midland Trains livery can be seen stabled on the station's sidings.
