    That’s the best driver’s view video that I’ve seen and what makes it come alive is Zak’s excellent commentary. Thank you so much Zak. Brilliant job 😀
    About a year before the pandemic I had the honour to travel in the cab of a Class 91 from King’s Cross to Peterborough with (then) newly qualified Lauren. It was wonderful. If you know Lauren say please hello from me and tell her a million thanks once again 😁

    I have actually met Zak at Grantham. He was driving the London Kings Cross to Lincoln route. He was super nice and me and my friend had a conversation with him. He gave us a 7 tone on the way out. Lner, could you do me a favour and say hello to him for me!

    Knebworth is the first station to pass by northbound where the intercity services can high tail it at 125mph (this occurs at a multiplying junction after passing the two Welwyn tunnels

      Although i don't work for LNER I do work for a TOC. I'd say he probably only drives london to Leeds because its such a long route and you have to remember he has to know all the diversions as well

      @zakstar 11 месяцев назад

      Hey! Leeds is actually shorter than our core route! Only 2 hrs and 15mins (usually) Newcastle is the furthest London drivers go and is our core route. We also go to Lincoln :)
