 The 18.23 Euston to Shrewsbury Avanti Voyager service passes through Rugby at line speed in the evening sun. It is services such as this that will be operated by Avanti's new bi-mode trains that are to be introduced into service next year with these diesel units being retired from WCML duties and not before time!

NB on re-reading this just a week before the start of 2024 I can report that despite testing and mileage accumulation runs that the Class 805s have yet to enter service!
