158866, EM 07.38 Manchester Oxford Road-Norwich (1L05, RT), Nottingham station
Our second train of four on this lovely warm early
spring day waits at Nottingham station. We took 158866 as far as Grantham where we were able to pick up an East Coast LNER service. This 1L05 EMR service started from Manchester Oxford Road at 07.38 rather than the timetabled Warrington Central. It arrived at Manchester as an empty stock working from Stockport that itself should have gone to Warrington so something had obviously gone awry!
