Descending
801229 is pictured descending Bensham Bank on the approaches to Newcastle with 1S15 - the 14:30 from Kings Cross to Edinburgh.
The vegetation hides it well, but the unit is more or less above the Tyne Valley line at this point which dives under the ECML here. However, both the ECML and Tyne Valley lines are visible from the other side of the bridge where it's clear that they're about to deviate from each other.
