East Midlands Trains 153385/153374 (02.02.2018)

There are more 153's in blue than 156's in East Midlands Trains's fleet but not a lot of the 153's tend to come out on routes that involve Nottingham Station other than the Matlock services, more especially away from the summer period. One of the Mansfield Woodhouse/Worksop runs however was taken up by these two 153's right here. 153385 and 153374 are seen here departing from platform 3A at Nottingham Station with the 13:55 service for Mansfield Woodhouse.

East Midlands Trains 43044 (02.02.2018)

Now then, a five car class 222 headed by 222023 had been out on the London St Pancras express services but this eight car HST set was available for service, so a set swap was required. 43044 is seen here leading an eight car HST set as it departs from platform 6 at Nottingham Station for London St Pancras with 43076 with the 'In Support Of Help For Heroes' nameplate at the rear.
