390124, VT 16.30 London Euston-Crewe (1F19, 1L), site of Roade station
It's astonishing to think that Pendolinos are twenty years old
next year! Many first-generation diesels such as my beloved Westerns had been and gone in less time than this! As 390024 this particular example was one of the earlier members of the class that is now in the hands of its second operator Avanti West Coast. Now an eleven car set and numbered 390124 it is seen passing Roade in lovely late afternoon sun working the 1F19 16.30 Euston to Crewe service.
