CrossCountry's 221136 pauses at Birmingham New Street with a crew change taking place. The four-car Voyager is working the 08.20 Aberdeen to Exeter St. David's. This particular class 221 was introduced in 2001 as a Virgin Cross Country five-car unit and named 'Yuri Gagarin'. When it became a CrossCountry unit in 2007, it was reduced to a four-car unit, hardly suitable for long and heavily used inter-regional services such as this one!
