It may be the first day of meteorological summer but the weather did not comply! However, this did not stop me from walking from home to see The Lakelander charter.

390050, VT 05.45 Wolverhampton-London Euston, Victoria bridge The morning 05.45 Wolverhampton to Euston Virgin service passes Victoria bridge worked by 390050. The open coupling door at the front end of the Pendolino will be doing nothing for its aerodynamics!

90026, outward leg of The Lakelander, 07.06 London Euston-Carlisle (1Z62), Victoria bridge 90026 leads the Lakelander charter past Victoria bridge between Roade and Ashton with a set of stock looking like it could match the EWS livery on the locomotive. Leaving Euston at 07.06 the charter, running as 1Z62, would end up at Carlisle just before midday giving passengers just under five hours to explore the city or take a planned visit to the South Tynedale Railway that is if they had not chosen to alight at Oxenholme for a trip to Bowness and a cruise on Lake Windermere.

67028, outward leg of The Lakelander, 07.06 London Euston-Carlisle (1Z62), Victoria bridge UK Railtours' Lakelander charter approaches Roade on the down fast line, meaning that it will avoid Northampton, with 67028 on the rear. The 07.06 Euston to Carlisle 1Z62 was being led by 90026, also an EWS machine that almost matches the rake of uniform Mk. 1s. Things went to planned all day for the passengers board with them even enjoying an early arrival back into Euston!
