220033 passes just north of a chilly King's Sutton working the 06.25 Newcastle to Reading service. The Voyagers have been in service for just over ten years now with Cross Country being their second operator. A reminder of its years with Virgin is still to be seen just below the windscreen with the outline of their crest still clear to see on the yellow paint. Notice the milepost indicating eighty-four miles. This is the distance from Paddington via the GWR route through Oxford and Didcot rather than to Marylebone.
