Brand new 350407 is seen sandwiched in between a number of barrier vehicles being towed through Roade by 92044 'Couperin' out of sight on the front. The Desiro is heading for Manchester as the 6X50 from Dollands Moor for work with TransPennine Express on their Anglo Scottish route from the North West to Glasgow and Edinburgh. 350407 is one of ten Siemens Desiros that have been ordered by TPE some of which are already in service. They are slightly different to the other subsets of the same class as they have been modified for one hundred and ten miles per hour operation and have an interior very similar to TPE's existing fleet of Class 185s.
