Two Anglo Scottish Avanti Pendolinos stand at London Euston in
the afternoon spring sunshine. In the background 390136 will work the 14.30 departure whilst in the foreground 390118 will leave soon at 13.30. Unfortunately, for both these trains, things went horribly wrong later in their journeys due to overhead supply problems in the Borders. The 13.30 service made it to Glasgow with an eye-watering one hundred and two minutes of delay whilst the 14.30 service was cancelled at Carlisle. I presume passengers heading beyond Carlisle were transferred to services taking the G&SW route via Dumfries
