Mr Edwards from Brafferton snapped this photo of the new Azuma train built by Hitachi as it approached the bend at Brafferton on the East Coast main line. Fred believes they are currently “running in” and will be used in earnest from later in the month of May 2019.
Reader Steven Fleming spoke to Mr Pavey Head Teacher at Vane Road School, where his son attends, and gained permission to fly his drone with camera, over the new school being built.
