Nameplate, 87002, outward leg of The Capital's Scot, 06.56 London Euston-Edinburgh Waverley (1Z86, 1E), Milton Keynes Central station
LSL of Crewe has done a fine job recreating the
InterCity Executive livery on 87002 'Royal Sovereign' including its superb nameplate as seen here whilst it pauses at Milton Keynes. The Class 87 was hauling the first mainline charter of the year (as far as I am aware) leaving Euston at 06.56 and heading for Edinburgh. The LSL charter appeared to be well loaded despite the time of year an it being a weekday especially as it only gave the punters just over two hours in Edinburgh before heading home south but on the ECML this time to King's Cross.
