What Year Is It Again??
Locomotive Services Limited's Class 87, 87002 "Royal Sovereign" prepares to work the ECS back to Crewe after the two-day InterCity "The Clansman" railtour.
The ECS move was 5Z43 22:17 Euston to Crewe Holding Sidings, with the veteran AL7 having earlier propelled 1Z42 11:00 Inverness to Euston south from Mossend Yard.
With the Red Star parcels sign in the background, the only thing giving it away this isn't the 1980s or 1990s is the Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolino, 390009 in the background. It had arrived on 1B83 2030 Birmingham New Street to London Euston and was waiting to form the ECS move back to the depot as 5B83 2251 London Euston to Wembley Inter City Depot.
