390010 'Cumbrian Spirit' works the 10.43 Euston to Preston carrying curious reporting number of 5S60. Unfortunately, things did not go to plan with this service later in its journey with it taking the Trent Valley route rather than the advertised route via Birmingham New Street. I suspect that the cause of this was staffing issues relating to very high numbers of staff testing positive for the COVID-19 Omicron variant that was impacting all TOCs not just those of Avanti West Coast. The train is seen passing Victoria bridge between Ashton and Roade in South Northamptonshire.
