On February 14, the 13.00 Edinburgh-King's Cross left the Scottish capital with DVT 82205 leading and Class 91 No. 91131 providing the power. Problems with the train were encountered between Oxwellmains and Grantshouse and it was deemed necessary to terminate the service at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Class 67"Thunderbird" No. 67003 arrived to rescue the train and dragged the errant set from Berwick, leaving at 15.22 destined for Bounds Green depot. THE start of the new Virgin franchise began on March 1 .Two sets of Class 91s and coaching stock have received the new livery. As an interim measure, the fleet of locos and DVTs are receiving a wide diagonal red stripe with Virgin inscribed on it in white (see picture below). VTEC has taken on an additional HST set from East Midland Trains on an extended loan. Formerly set NL02 with power cars Nos. 43052 and 43058 it is now numbered NL65.
