On the Move - GNER Train

Just back from a train trip to London to see the Quilt show at the V & A and Mrs Delaney's Exhibition at Sir John Soanes. You see the link?

There are several train engines on the Transport panel and this is the GNER representative. Great North Eastern Railway was a train company owned by Sea Containers Ltd which operated high speed express trains on the Eastern coast main line rail from 1996 to 2007. The dark blue with red trimming was a reference to the GER livery, the pre-nationalisation company who ran the service.

This is possibly a Class 91 but if anyone knows more?

On the Move - 1939 Vauxhall Car

On 26th March 1934 the Driving Test was introduced in the United Kingdom.

Today's offering is a 1939 Vauxhall car in celebration of this event (OK, tenuous link)

I have many more questions than facts today. Whose car is this? Where is it and is it still being used?

It appears with a Vauxhall Calibra on the Transport (On the Move) panel and both were sponsored by Barr Wallace Arnold.

Were those driving already issued with licenses without having to pass a test?

The printed fabric was hand stitched by Janet Carding.
