An unusual working makes its way along the WCML just south of Northampton in the lovely evening sunshine at Milton Malsor. West Midlands Railway operated 172217 is off its patch working the 16.22 Tyseley to Ilford EMUD ECS move. After some dialogue with my friend Mike, he believes that it was going to Ilford for wheel turning. If this is the case, quite why there is no facility nearer to the West Midlands is beyond me, what has happened to our privatised railway?
