My first sighting of a Pendolino, which will soon start to displace traditional
stock from the West Coast main line. Freightliner 47 289 pauses before
running round and heading off towards Manchester's Longsight depot and a much

in the dust on the side of one of the vehicles!
It's a shame that the loco-hauled cross country sets are not afforded a similar level of care.
Here's a close-up of the nose and the name of one of these bland looking sets.
I find this "Red Revolution" about as appealing as Watney's keg
beer Red Revolution of the sixties.
Here's a stirring note on which to finish.
37 704 heads north up the main line past the Heritage Centre.
