The pristine GWR loco would soon loose its Green livery
and metamorphise into the Red Hogwarts Express livery.

At approximately 13:30 hrs on 18th August 2008,
whilst at Leeds,
I noticed this Kings Cross train operated by National Express
had its rear power unit connected the wrong way round,
i.e. the streamlined end forward?
.
Is this something new (to me at least),
or did they have a shortage of units pointing in the right direction?
