Last year TransPennine Express (TPE) ordered a set of ten new Class 350 Desiros to operate on the Manchester, Preston route to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Capable of one hundred and ten miles per hour they are being built by Siemens Mobility at their German Krefeld factory. The first deliveries have taken place with a number of the 350/4s now in service with TPE. In this photograph, 350406 and 350407 are being towed through Roade seen from Hyde Road bridge by 92044 'Couperin' as the 6X50 04.20 Dollands Moor to Trafford Park.
