Description
This may sound like sacrilege, but some stations are too beautiful to waste them just on the trains. Kings Cross is definitely one of them. Here, two East Coast trains, one diesel, one electric, are parked at the platforms, preparing for an epic race to determine superiority between the traction systems (actually not, but it would be way more fun that way).Related content

Great perspective on this shot. And good lighting too, something KX hasn't been known for until recently.
I still think they should've made platform 0 platform 1, then the old platform 9 platform 9 3/4, and put a steam loco in it for the fans

That would have been fun! What bothers me is that they have a sign for platform 9b somewhere. Why not change that to 9.75?

The little train told me not to forget to add a comment, so here you go: what else what you logically put inside a train station? Other than starbucks, a wormhole and a Harry Potter fanshop?

Disgruntled passengers? We have plenty of those. And the staff to match them in some cases too...

I see a Class 91 Electric Locomotive on the left and a Class 43 Diesel-Electric Locomotive on the right.

On the left is actually a DVT, but it's the same cab design.

Kings cross station has seen a huge improvement in the last 20 years Before it was dark and filthy and notorious for thieves and prostitutes and drugs.

I never had the chance to see it in its old state, but from the glimpses I saw at the construction site (especially two years ago, when I was last in London), I don't find that hard to believe.
