66063, 13.25 Trafford Park-London-Gateway (4L56, 5E) & 390043, VT 16.55 Manchester Piccadilly-London Euston (1A56, 1E), site of Roade station
An 'old school' EWS 66063 passes through Roade at the
site of the old station, the entrance road of which can be seen in the background. I am staggered that some eleven years after the first EWS locomotive was rebranded to DB that there are still examples such as this one still working in their original as-built livery. The 4L56 13.25 Trafford Park to London Gateway is about to be passed by 390043 heading south with the 16.55 Manchester to Euston Avanti service.
