D1924 & D1935, 10.10 Liverpool Lime Street-Wembley Central (1Z86, 6L), Roade cutting
With D1924 'Peter Bath MBE 1927-2006' doing all of the
work at the front of the train D1935 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' goes along for a free ride at the rear. The train was running as 1Z86 taking Liverpool fans to Wembley for the 2022 FA Cup Final that was to be a scintillating match that saw Liverpool beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties with Greek international Konstantinos Tsimikas scoring the decisive winner (much to the delight of my Greek friend and railway associate Andy!). In years past there would have been a procession of footex services on Cup Final day with scratch sets of stock cobbled together and some unusual visiting locomotives leading the trains causing a stir within the spotter fraternity of the day!
