Euston Class 86
I remember taking this photo and thinking to myself "why am I taking a photo of a boring Class 86".
Well, I had family on the train which just happened to be the 13.50 from Euston to Manchester via Stoke on Sunday 2nd December, 1984.
I suppose it's over thirty years ago now, and I do like the drivers casual action with a cup of tea in his hand as he approaches the cab of 86246 (ex E3149) for a job he's probably done endless times. I do remember the fact that the train was made up of all Mk1 stock....it also states this on the back of my photo !
If I see a Class 86 now, I stand back and look in admiration as some are still earning their keep, even though they are over fifty years old.
