Class 221, VT 10.10 London Euston-Chester (1D84), Roade cutting An unidentified class 221 tilting Voyager whisks its passengers through Roade cutting as begins the double track section of the route as far as Rugby.

Class-221s, VT 05.50 Glasgow Central-London Euston (1M48), Roade cutting A pair of Virgin Voyagers pass through Roade cutting with the first up Anglo Scottish express of the day that left Glasgow Central at 05.50.
