Grand Central is an innovative and pioneering railway open-access
operator with a relatively short, but varied history. Beginning
operations in 2007, Grand Central runs its routes, Sunderland and
Bradford Interchange to London King's Cross, along the East Coast
Main Line. Initially running High Speed Trains (HSTs), Class 180s
joined the fleet in 2009. These continued to be the class in use
after the HSTs were discontinued on the routes. With over 200
images, this book illustrates the wonderful landscapes of Grand
Central's routes, the types of trains operated, including the
iconic HSTs, and some rare behind-the-scenes locations not often
seen by the public. It covers from the days of the early
crew-training trains operated by heritage traction to the present
day, including the foray into Blackpool, and looks at how the
company's innovation and experience is shaping its future and the
part it plays within the current railway landscape.
