Golborne Junction, AWC Voyagers 221112 & 221108 1S36 (06.07 Birmingham New Street - Preston) 15/04/23.
Captured forging north out of the early morning mist in Golborne Dale, 22112 & 221108 on the 06.03 Birmingham New Street - Preston.
Much maligned and I only photograph them in good light, the Avanti West Coast 221's are now an 'endangered species'.
I personally hate to travel on these things but they have put in a prodigious amount of miles for their TOC's since their introduction in 2002.
* In December 2019, Avanti West Coast placed an order for 10 seven-car Class 807 electric units which will replace its Class 221 fleet, along with 13 Class 805 bi-mode units as part of £350 million contract with Hitachi. These are planned to enter service in 2023.
