Having brought us up from Milton Keynes, 390130 'City of Edinburgh' rests on the blocks at Manchester Piccadilly with the 1H08 06.55 ex London Euston. On the adjacent platform, 323130 will work the 09.44 to Stoke-on-Trent. In theory, these early 1990s EMUs should have gone off-lease being replaced by the CAF class 331s. However, as usual, delays have dogged this plan and at the point that this photograph was taken, only a few of the new units were in-service.
