Making a fine sight as it passes through the Northamptonshire countryside near the village of Blisworth 90002 'Wolf of Badenoch' leads a set of Pullman style MkII stock with 47810 'Crewe Diesel Depot' hanging on at the rear. The train was supposed to have been hauled by another of LSL's fleet, 47501 'Craftsman' but it was failed with 90002 substituted. Personally, I think that the AC electric is more interesting than the Class 47 especially when painted in this striking livery. The train was the first of two conveying Liverpool fans from Merseyside to Wembley for the Carabao Cup also known as the League Cup. They would return later in the day after enjoying a thrilling match with Chelsea that saw Liverpool eventually 11-10 on penalties.
