In lovely late-spring sunshine, 390107 passes Victoria bridge between Roade and Ashton on the southern WCML forming the 14.57 Euston to Manchester Piccadilly. This was the first of the Pendolinos to receive Virgin's revised 'flowing silk' livery but it will not carry it for much longer as Virgin have not been awarded the WCML franchise again from November with a new operator (as yet, unnamed) taking over putting their new stamp and identity on the Pendolinos and Voyagers.
