Having seen this train work up to London earlier in the morning it is seen returning to Crewe as the 5Z40 12.07 ex Euston past the site of Roade's former station. D1944/47501 'Craftsman' is now leading the stock with 90002 'Wolf of Badenoch' at the rear. On the hottest day of the year (and the hottest recorded in the UK for that matter) the driver will be missing air conditioning in the cab of the Class 47, not somthing ever installed back in 1966 when it was constructed at Crewe!
