90002 'Wolf of Badenoch' returns from London working the 12.23 Euston to Manchester LSL relief service and is seen passing Roade taken from the locally named Gravel bridge. On the day of the Queen's funeral, it would be carrying mourners back from the capital many of whom will have been in the long and winding queue of people wishing to pay their respects whilst she laid in state in Westminster Hall. With Avanti West Coast still operating a slashed service with up to a third of their services cancelled with them blaming their staff for not working overtime other operators such as LSL saw an opportunity to operate trains and a successful move, it appears to have been.
