221106, VT 12.43 London Euston-Edinburgh (9S70, 1E), site of Castlethorpe station 
 221106 'Willem Barents' is about to pass under Castlethorpe's footbridge working the 12.43 Euston to Edinburgh (9S70). I've said it before, and I'll say it again, where's the sense in running a diesel unit for 400 miles all the way to Edinburgh under 25kV catenary? If anybody from Virgin's train planning department ever reads my ramblings, please let me know!
