Historic Train Passing Through
Good afternoon people of Biggleswade.
At approximate time of 1406 (full timings below) a historic intercity 125 train will be passing biggleswade station. The train, which is a LNER special, is prebooked only and passes through (probably quite quickly).
The train is in the old 1970s intercity 125 colours (as opposed to the modern LNER branding) and has been painted into these colours especially for this farewell railtour excursion.

There are probably already some pictures online, here is a video of the specially painted train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-rQOWaolxM
Its worth emphasisng that these trains have been replaced by newer trains , and sunday was the last day of these in passenger service with LNER. This is the last opportunity to see this type of train on the East Coast mainline between Peterborough and Kings Cross.
