A fantastic shot of two Hull trains passing each other at Doncaster, Bentley on 22.4.09. Its a brilliant photographic, well timed. You can see the banking and the speed at which the trains would pass. In the distance you can see the double yellow lights and the feather as the train on the left would begin to change tracks onto a different route.

The Class 180 "Adelante" is a type of British diesel multiple unit built by Alstom between 2000 and 2001 at Washwood Heath in Birmingham for express use by First Great Western (FGW). The last 180s in service for FGW were withdrawn on 27 March 2009. The British Rail Class 222 is a diesel-electric multiple unit high-speed train capable of 125 mph (200 km/h). Twenty-seven units have been built by Bombardier Transportation. The Class 222 is similar to the Class 220 Voyager and Class 221 SuperVoyager trains used by CrossCountry and Virgin Trains but units have a different interior, which is less cramped than the Voyagers. The Class 222 trains have more components fitted under the floors to free up space within the body.
