Hello East Midlands Railway
After my previous 'Goodbye EMT' photo featuring the class 158 & 156 on the last ever East Midlands Trains working I saw, I thought I might as well do a 'Hello EMR' photo too. This is the second ever East Midlands Railway working I've seen, as the first was 153318 & 153321 around a minute before - but as 153318 still had EMT branding on it I thought it better to use this picture of fully EMR-branded 153308 & 153311.
The pair pass Meadow Lane foot crossing on 18.8.19 - as trains run quite infrequently on this stretch (on a Sunday) it was quite lucky to see three trains within about ten minutes of each other, even better to get this one fully branded up as EMR - in fact this is the first train I've actually seen fully branded as EMR because the previous 153s were a mix of EMT/EMR, yesterday's 156/158 was an EMT/EMR mix too and the 222 from yesterday was all EMT.
