@52foxbat This old electric traction seems so much more interesting than what's running on the wcml today. Would have being great to acturally see these when they were in service. Hope you get to see it this evening.

@cmeonthemove It probably was the same stock! I was glad to catch this working as I'd wanted to see an 86.

Would have liked to see this through Milton Keynes but again at work even tonight it will be dark when returning. Brings back memories when these traversed this line.

Looks like the same stock that came up to Norwich behind Briatnnia at the weekend. Nice catch.
