DVT 89139 leads LSL's 09.00 Manchester to Euston relief service

between the villages of Roade and Ashton. 90002 'Wolf of Badenoch' is seen providing power at the rear of the train. This service was being run in connection with the large increase in travellers resulting from the funeral of the Queen that had just got underway at the time that this photograph was taken. Whilst respecting the death of the monarch, as I would anybody else for that matter, as a staunch Republican I did not join many others watching the day's events unfold on television.
