45596, outward leg of The Mancunian, 07.12 London Euston-Manchester Piccadilly (1Z96, 5E), between Roade & Ashton
With an up Freightliner having just got out of the
way Jubilee 45596 'Bahamas' emerges from a shallow cutting near the Northamptonshire village of Ashton. Hauling the outward leg of The Mancunian charter 45596 left Euston at 07.12 arriving at Manchester Piccadilly slightly ahead of time. It is unfortunate that the weather is so dull and misty as Bahamas does not really lift itself from the background wearing its British Railways green livery.
