13:35 Delayed Arrival, loco hauled Class 390 from London Euston (30 mins. late)
14:36 Departure, loco hauled Class 390 Service to London Euston

This type of train is one of the fastest electric multiple units operating in Britain, with a top speed of 140 mph. However, the London - Holyhead route is partly not electrified, so Virgin's Class 57/3 "Thunderbird" diesel locomotives are used to haul the trains, which limits the speed of services. In this video I recorded the Class 57 (57307) "Lady Penelope" in Virgin Trains livery at the bag-station of Holyhead plat 1 in several scenes: Arrival, Switching the trains ends to the front to haul the units back to London Euston. Filmed on November 6th, 2010.

Nice vid. Why on earth do they drag Pendos across Wales and send Voyagers to Edinburgh and Glasgow on journeys entirely under the wires??? Bonkers.

[railwaylive]

@May11th1983 This is just the exception. Normally there are Super Voyagers to be seen there.

[railwaylive]

@username5515 True is rare nowadays.
