'Le Mans' style departure for these two BDZ-TP train crews at Illiyantsi Yard on 5th May 2023 as both workings prepare for their respective northerly departures. Both Skoda's, Class 43 No. 43-547 and Class 44 No. 44-068 make an interesting comparison side by side, especially the difference in design of the pantographs and roof detail. The mighty Vitosha mountain dominates the sky line as well as the capital city of Sofia that lies directly beneath it. The platforms at Illiyantsi station are clearly visible on the far right of this image.
