Between them, 47593 'Galloway Princess' and D213 'Andania' had worked the previous day's English Riviera Express charter from Northampton to Kingswear in top and tail manner. On arrival back at Northampton late the previous evening the stock returned the short distance south to Bletchley for overnight stabling. It is now seen returning to its LSL base at Crewe as the 14.10 ex-Bletchley CS running as 5Z29 passing Roade. The enthusiasts gathered to capture the train were, of course, hoping that D213 would be leading but, as can be seen, 47593 was removed from the rear to lead the stock to Crewe prior to departure but the scene is pretty good nonetheless!
