Ten-Car Hull Trains

On Friday, about eleven in the morning, I was standing on the platform at Finsbury Park station, when unusually I saw a pair of Hull Trains’s Class 802 trains go through as a pair.

A few minutes later, I took a train to King’s Cross, where I took these pictures.

Note.

1. The four platforms are numbered from 1 to 4 from the right.
2. The Hull Train is in platform 3.
3. The fourth picture clearly shows the 11:18 Hull Trains service has ten carriages.

Hull Trains were also selling tickets on the train.
