46233, outward leg of The Midlander, non-stop 08.49 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1Z86), Gordon's Lodge This was a steam charter with a bit of a difference! It was organised by Vintage Trains who advertised it as a steam-hauled non-stop run from Birmingham New Street to Euston; quite a claim! In fact, evidence on the Six Bells Junction website appears to bear out that they achieved this no doubt with some help from signallers and control. 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' looks quite at home on the WCML as it passes Gordon's Lodge near Hanslope Junction but no doubt wishing that it was on the fast and able to stretch its legs a little more! The Midlander left Birmingham New Street at 08.49 running as 1Z86 and actually arrived at Euston ten minutes early.
