40024 passes through the centre road at Birmingham New Street station ready to join the back of the Pennine Explorer railtour. It will lead the railtour on the second leg as far as Manchester Piccadilly. Notice the total absence of any H & S workwear for the three staff working at track-level. Unfortunately, I do not have a record of the 86 poking its nose into the right of the picture, the only two I have in my notebook are 86101 and 86243 so, it's one of those!
