With the camera's ISO set to an eye-watering 25,600, I
have really asked a little too much of it! It was half-light on a particularly dull January morning so this photograph is not of the finest quality. However, as I made the effort to get out to see 2022's inaugural Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express then it has made the cut! 86259 'Les Ross/Peter Pan' is seen heading the 1Z86 charter on the down slow through Wolverton station whilst 390151 'Unknown Soldier' has just got out of the way working the 1B04 06.45 Wolverhampton to Euston service that is on the up slow line. Remind me to stay at home on such a miserable morning and do something far more sensible than this next time, please!
