50049 'Defiance' dead-in-tow on the rear of the outward leg of The Manchester Christmas Markets charter running appropriately as 1Z50, the 07.48 London Euston to Preston. Seen here, passing Wolverton at speed, the Class 50 was not under power at this point in the journey but later on it was called upon to provide some traction to assist 50007 'Hercules' that was leading the train as it began to lose power. After being some time down due to this issue, this was all caught up on arrival at Preston.
