My first visit to see some train-action of the New Year! Nothing special like steam. This morning, I had promised my Sister-in-Law a lift to the railway station, so nature takes its course and I spend the morning at the station photographing the rail action.
Northern Rail class 331008 ready at platform 5.
The Class 331 looks very smart and sleek. Very smooth ride and comfortable. The above is a Class 331/0 3-car unit, DMSL-PTS-DMS, of which, 31 sets were built by CAF in Spain (2017-2020).
...while the DVT, 82214 brings up the tail to the 91114 service to York.
66078 travels up G1 line.
DB Schenker Class 66 093 with Network Rail Plasser & Theurer MFS Swivel Conveyor Wagons DR92434 and DR92441 comes over to platform 3.
DB Cargo UK locomotive 66051 'Maritime Intermodal Four' thunders up the G2 (Goods) track.
This loco did some interesting manoeuvres up and down the length of various Goods tracks to line-up with a couple of FAA wagons. The following photos show 66092's progress.

Northern 170458 departs P8.

Azuma 800202 at platform 3A southbound to Kings Cross
Here's an interesting couple of photos: two shots of Azuma 800202. The above shows 800202 at platform 3A southbound to Kings Cross. The photo was timed at 10:48hrs.
The below photo, again of 800202 was timed at 11:15hrs going northwards at platform 8! Are the two services operating with different units? It's impossible for 800202 to get to Kings Cross and back to Doncaster in 27 minutes?
The rear unit of 800102 at platform 4 bound northwards.
