Grand Central Cab Ride: London to Sunderland (204-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: GU225D

Jump into the cab of one of Grand central's Valenta-powered HSTs and experience the driver's eye view of the route between London and Sunderland.

In the Autumn of 2008, this extraordinary rail journey was filmed onboard the 11:37 Kings Cross to Sunderland calling at York, Thirsk, Northallerton, Eaglescliffe, Hartlepool and Sunderland. We see the many different landscapes and speeds along the way. From the suburbs of London, through the open fens of Cambridgeshire to the Durham coast.

The train is formed of two Class 43 power cars and five MkIII coaches (1xFirst Class, 1xRestaurant/Buffet and 3 standard class trailers.. mostly converted former ex-WCML loco hauled stock). Grand Central operates three HSTs along this route which allows for four trains in each direction per day.

Pure engine room sounds are retained throughout to enhance the experience, whilst on-screen graphics point out features of interest along the route.
