47712 & 43083, 07.14 Crewe HS-Eastleigh Arlington (5Z36, 2L), site of Roade station I so nearly missed this working! I had spotted postings about the progress of this move from Crewe to Eastleigh and realised that it was fairly early. But it's a good job that I had Open Train Times running as when it got to Hilmorton Junction south of Rugby it suddenly was put on the fast. I was not even dressed and had not taken my wife her morning coffee so had to dash about and then jog the relatively short distance to the site of Roade's station to get the train and I did so by the skin of my teeth! It was such a dull morning for early June but the superb 47712 'Lady Diana Spencer' brightened up the scene in its reproduction ScotRail livery. It was leading a Mk.1 acting as a barrier coach to five former GWR HST Mk.IIIs that I believe were going for painting as they belong to LSL which is trying to develop its place in the contemporary charter market. At the rear was EMR branded HST power car 43083.
