The new order for East Coast Main Line express services in the form of 254009 (43072/73) heads north approaching Welwyn Garden City, 1st June 1978.

Just over three weeks or so earlier on the 8th May 1978 the summer timetable commenced and signalled the start of HST operation on the East Coast Main Line when six HST diagrams were introduced. The first twenty HST sets built for the East Coast Main Line (Class 254) were built with the luxury of two catering vehicles which if you look closely are the 3rd vehicle, Trailer Restaurant Unclassified Kitchen (TRUK) and the sixth vehicle Trailer Restaurant Second Buffet (TRSB). This luxury of two catering vehicles did not last for many years and the HST catering fleet has undergone many rebuilds over the years.
