390151, VT 08.38 Liverpool Lime Street-London Euston (1A16, RT), Hyde Road bridge Catching some welcome winter sunshine 390151 passes through Roade cutting taken from the village's Hyde Road bridge. The AWC Pandolino is working the 08.38 Liverpool Lime Street to Euston service. Keywords: 390151 08.38 Liverpool Lime Street-London Euston 1A16 Hyde Road bridge Avanti West Coast Pendolino
46100, 06.56 Crewe HS-Southall LSL (5Z70, 5E), Hyde Road bridge 46100 'Royal Scot' makes a fine sight as it storms through Roade cutting leading the 06.56 Crewe HS (LSL) to Southall LSL 5Z70 empty stock train. The crisp winter air combined with a locomotive working hard on the climb from Northampton, even in if 57002 was providing a shove at the rear, combined to produce a good show of exhaust. The empty stock was heading south to be used on a private LSL staff charter Keywords: 46100 06.56 Crewe HS-Southall LSL 5Z70 Hyde Road bridge Royal Scot LMS
805009 & 805004, VT 10.02 London Euston-Chester (1D84, 11L), site of Roade station With all the Class 805s now in service, a process that has taken six months, they are now a regular fixture on the WCML. 805009 and 805004 pass Roade working the 10.02 Euston to Chester service. I am still not convinced of the merits of coupling two sets together with no interconnection meaning double manning, can somebody explain the economics and practicalities of this, please?

807001, 10.07 London Euston-Crewe (3K92, 3L), site of Roade station The first class 807s entered service last month (November 2024) with others still undergoing testing and mileage accumulation. This is my first photograph of one of the ten AC-only units working the 10.07 Euston to Crewe 3K92 worked by 807001.
