Virgin Trains always seem to make an extra effort to keep their stock looking smart. The condition of 390016 is no exception to this still wearing its smart livery over ten years after it entered service on the WCML. The Pendolino is seen passing through Stafford's centre up road with the 13.55 Manchester Picadilly to Euston service that has taken the Crewe route rather than the more direct but slower Stoke route. Once the train reaches Colwich Junction it will tear down the Trent Valley route at full speed to reach London in an hour and a half.
