During week-ends in September and October 2016, the East Coast Main Line was closed north of Newcastle for engineering works. Accordingly, Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC) services diverted over Newcastle - Carlisle, adding somewhat to journey times to/from Edinburgh and King's Cross. VTEC liveried HST 43306 heads the 07.55 passenger service from Inverness to King's Cross towards the long closed Greenhead station.
