On a beautiful early summer's morning, I walked across the field from home to capture the passage of The Cumbrian Mountain Express. Usually, this is handled by 86259 but on this occasion, a smart red DB Class 90 was in charge.

390009, VT 07.30 London Euston-Preston (1S42), Ashton Road bridge Yet another Pendolino running with its nose cone cover open and exposing its Dellner coupling mechanism exposed. 390009 'Treaty of Union' passes between Roade and Ashton just north of Hanslope Junction with the 1S42 07.30 Euston to Preston service.

90029, outward leg of the The Cumbrian Mountain Express, 07.10 London Euston-Carnforth (1Z86), Ashton Road bridge I think that the new DB all over red livery and grey sole bar suits the Class 90s very well especially when seen in superb summer sun such as this just south of Roade. 90029 leads the Railway Touring Company's Cumbrian Moutain Express charter from Euston to Carnforth where Royal Scot 46115 took over for the run over Shap to Carlisle and then south over the S & C. On the return run 90029 was failed at Crewe following a broken windscreen caused by flying ballast with 90035 taking over for the run back to Euston.
