390010, VT 15.16 London Euston-Preston (9S58, 7L), site of Roade station With the decision on Avanti’s West Coast future due any day now there is a distinct possibility that the operator will be stripped of its franchise with a new operator to put its mark on the Class 390 Pendolinos. 390010 ‘Cumbrian Spirit’ passes the site of Roade station working the 9S58 15.16 Euston to Preston service. Notice the flash of yellow in the background, something far more interesting and unusual was about to pass on the down slow line..... NB it was announced on Monday 20.03.23 that AWC would be awarded a six-month extension to its franchise. This was very much against expectations given its shambolic management of operations over the last year or so and further goes, in my mind at least, to illustrate how broken and ineffective the franchising model is.
