BLS "Screaming Valentas", 17th November 2018
Another excellent day out with the Branch Line Society utilising an East Midlands Trains HST set from Derby to the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), where one of the EMT power cars was swapped for the prototype No. 41001, owned by the 125 Group. Funds raised from the train benefited the 125 Group Charity in its aims. Thanks to all involved in the success of the day.
