86101, 09.38 Liverpool Lime Street-Wembley Central (1Z90, 11E), Victoria bridge
The first of two up footex charters heading to Wembley
from Liverpool passes Victoria bridge just south of Roade. 86101 'Sir William A Stanier FRS' leads the 1Z90 09.38 Liverpool South Parkway to Wembley Central operated by LSL (Crewe). The sight of an InterCity liveried Class 86 on the WCML evokes memories of days past when trains such as this would probably have not attracted my attention in the same way that Pendolinos do today!
