Movie Star Looks
On its second outing since being re-liveried into InterCity Swallow, Locomotive Services Limited's Class 82 Mk3 DVT, 82139 glides to a brief halt at Hartford.
Matching Class 90, 90002 "Wolf of Badenoch" was on the rear providing the traction for the 5Z92 Preston to Crewe Diesel Depot test / training run.
In the far distance, GB Railfreight Class 66, 66775 / F231 "HMS Argyll" is just visible on the Up Slow heading towards Hartford Junction with 6E10. This working didn't get much further, with the loco running round at Northwich and taking the train back to Liverpool after issues with the plant at Drax.
The Class 90 and DVT were on one of a series of test runs along with ex-Greater Anglia Mk3 stock (soon to be repainted into InterCity too) as part of preparations for LSL's new InterCity charter offering starting later in 2020.
The itinerary for the debut year has now been released, starting with the Royal Scot on 21 November from Euston to Glasgow and the Midland Scot on 5 December from Birmingham to Glasgow, before a full season commencing in April 2021.
