The Anglo Scottish 9M50 06.52 Edinburgh to Euston composed of two class 221s passes south through Roade cutting. What an expensive way to run a railway, double manning throughout and using up gallons of diesel. What would be wrong with operating a set of refurbished Mk.III coaches hauled by a class 90; the customer experience would be so much better and, even including higher track access charges, I am sure that it would be cheaper to operate.
