Not a brilliant day for a high speed run down the Caledonian from Edinburgh to Carlisle but nevertheless fascinating. Footage supplied by Ben Elias from one of his runs in a new Class 397 “Nova 2”. Lots to talk about and some sensational scenery.

This video will not be updated cannot be relied upon for route learning.

The music at the end is a mess. It was edited because of Copyright issues but YouTube laid replacement music OVER the original!
