As part of the efforts to ensure the HSTs were running in service, Grand Central drafted in 43166 from Cross Country, wearing former Midland Mainline livery. This brought something different to the front of the black HST sets and caused a sensation as the company tried to sort its issues out with its HST fleet. Shortly after the hire in, the company would resort to Locomotive Haulage on a shuttle service.
