A very smart looking
86638 left the LNWR depot to enter bay platform 8......
......to reverse and
run down to Basford Hall. 2/5/2008
Surprise of the day was
the arrival of DVT 82101, once a common site on the WCML. This
vehicle was included in the final
scheduled Euston-Manchester service under class 87 haulage.
The remains of its gold-painted buffers was still evident. 2/5/2008
Sadly there are
no class 87's currently able to propel such a formation so 90020
"Collingwood" had to suffice. 2/5/2008
57302 "Virgil
Tracy" arrived from Holyhead with the Pendolino
drag and eventually headed North. 2/5/2008
The Pendo was 390039
"Virgin Quest". 2/5/2008
66002 "Lafarge
Quorn" arrived in the loop, detached and ran round
whatever it was it had been towing. 2/5/2008
The scheduled Northern
Belle arrived from the LNWR carriage sheds with 67009 piloting
