90002, 09.00 Manchester Piccadilly-London Euston (1Z93, 7L), between Roade & Ashton
90002 'Wolf of Badenoch' powers the rear of the 1Z93
09.00 Manchester Piccadilly to Euston LSL relief service. The train is seen at speed passing between Roade and Ashton in south Northamptonshire. The reprise of locomotive-hauled trains in a response to the reduction of Avanti services has become the main feature of traffic on the WCML during the early autumn of 2022 that may well remind passengers of the times when these trains were the mainstay of operations on this route.
