350259, LM 12.02 Crewe-London Euston (1U30), Roade Cutting 350259 leads another Desiro through Roade Cutting forming the 12.02 Crewe to London Euston 'fast' service.

350266, LM 12.54 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (2Y76), Roade Cutting 350266 works the 12.54 Birmingham New Street to Euston 2Y76 'stopper' through Roade Cutting. This service will stop at virtually every station en route meaning if you are merely going to London, it's a tiresome journey to say the least!

Class 221, VT 13.30 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1B23), Roade Cutting Travelling under the fully electrified 25kV wires for the whole route, a diesel-powered Class 221 passes through Roade Cutting powering the 12.30 from Birmingham New Street to London Euston.

Class 221s, VT 13.43 London Euston-Glasgow Central (9S77), Roade Cutting A pair of conjoined Class 221 Voyagers form the 13.43 Euston to Glasgow central through Roade Cutting. If I thought that the running of diesel power between Euston and Birmingham under electrified wires was a waste, how about this one doing the 400 miles between London and Glasgow; what a waste of energy!

390126, VT 12.47 Liverpool Lime Street-London Euston, Roade Cutting 390126 'Virgin Enterprise' heads south through the impressive Roade Cutting forming the 12.47 Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston.

This is a relatively easy load for the recently acquired DB loco. as this working is empty for the whole journey. As it's empty, the wagons make a lot more noise with no contents to dampen their sound. Keywords: 66139 14.05 Daventry-Dollands Moor 6O67 Roade Cutting
Class 221, 13.40 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1B24), Roade Cutting Another unidentified Class 221 heads south through Roade Cutting powering the 13.40 Birmingham Euston to London Euston. Virgin must have been very short of electric power on this particular day as this service should have been a Pendolino and was the third diesel-powered train I observed in the short time that I was at Roade Cutting.

Class 221, VT 14.10 London Euston-Holyhead (1D88), Roade Cutting A Class 221 forms the 14.10 Euston to Holyhead 1D88 service through Roade Cutting. This is an interesting journey that I have never made end to end but one that it is my 'to do' list. Keywords: Class 221 VT 14.10 London Euston-Holyhead 1D88 Roade Cutting
390128, VT 10.00 Glasgow Central-London Euston (9M53), Roade Cutting As the afternoon sun just begins to brighten the scene a little, 390128 'City of Preston' passes south through Roade Cutting working the 10.00 Glasgow Central to Euston. This picture clearly illustrates the significant extra length of these eleven-car Pendolinos with the rear of the train having not even passed under the green painted aqueduct Keywords: 390128 10.00 Glasgow Central-London Euston 9M53 Roade Cutting
Class 221, VT unidentified down working (1D68), Roade Cutting A class 221 heads north through Roade Cutting with an unidentified down working.
