390013, VT 07.35 London Euston-Manchester Piccadilly, between Roade & Ashton 
 As a London Midland Desiro just goes out of shot to the left 390013 heads north on the down fast line working the 07.35 Euston to Manchester Piccadilly service. Notice the Rosebay willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium) in the foreground, found all over the railway network as one of the most successful colonisers of the embankments!

90028, outward leg of The Cardigan Bay Panorama, 07.10 London Euston-Aberystwyth (1Z96), between Roade & Ashton 
 With its EWS paint almost matching the stock, 90028 leads the outward leg of The Cardigan Bay Panorama that left Euston at 07.10 heading for Aberystwyth. The Class 90 was removed at Bescot with two of Network Rail's Cambrian Line ERTMS Project Class 37s taking over. A slight delay occurred later in the outward journey with the double-headed 37s having to run round at Shrewsbury (they were planned to take the avoider line at Sutton Bridge Junction) due to an ERTMS fault on the leading locomotive 97304 'John Tiley'.
