As the 4M56 Freightliner passes through Roade cutting 221110 and

221105 head south working Avanti's 14.48 Holyhead to Euston service. This photograph was taken the week the first Class 805s entered revenue service with a number of Class 221 diagrams going over to the new units. After twenty-two years of working the West Coast route time is finally being called on this noisy, cramped and pretty unpleasant units! Notice the wipers of 221110 in mid sweep indicating that it was now raining.
