221108, VT 08.53 Holyhead-London Euston (1A26, 32L), Victoria bridge With the withdrawal of the Class 221 Voyagers underway on the WCML route with them going into storage pending future use elsewhere there is still a number in operation. They are to be replaced by a fleet of Class 805 bi-mode units that are undergoing non-mainline testing at the time of writing. By the end of this year (2023) the distinctive sound of the six-cylinder turbo-powered Cummins QSK19-R will no longer be heard on this route. This, for many travellers, will be no bad thing!
