What a waste of resources! A pair of Virgin 221s race north past Victoria Bridge in south Northamptonshire forming the 12.42 Euston to Edinburgh. The economics of running a double manned ten car DMU all the way under the wires is farcical, with each carriage having a thirsty 750Hp Cummins diesel engine underneath. Surely, planners could organise a Pendolino from the fleet to run this service or I am I missing something, advice willingly taken!
