Winwick, Old Alder Lane, Virgin Trains 221114 & 221101 1S77 (13.18 London Euston - Glasgow Central) 14/03/19.
Captured forging north in premium afternoon light, Bombardier 'Super Voyagers' (fitted with tilting mechanism and different bogies) VT 221114 & 221101 on 1S77 13.18 London Euston - Glasgow.
Much maligned and I only photograph them in very good light, the Avanti West Coast Voyagers 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 Voyager fleet, along with 13 Class 805 bi-mode units as part of £350 million contract with Hitachi. These entered service in 2024.
