Wellingborough should not have been our starting point for our journey to London! Due to the total closure of the WCML due to signalling issues, my wife and I took a very expensive cab from Northampton after becoming tired of waiting for a rail replacement bus and the tetchy crowds outside the station. 360102 leads 360113 working the 1H24 11.10 from Corby that my wife and I took to St. Pancras. Taking an almost identical time to what it would have taken us on London NorthWestern we arrived at St. Pancras an hour and a half after we should have arrived at Euston. The ambience, space and cleanliness of these Class 360 Desiros was noted by my wife on our journey.
