I am delighted that John Evans has sent two sets of photos for publication.
The first set are eight shots of Pendolinos diverted along the eastern half of the Chat Moss route at Easter 2014.
The second set are three he took at Earlestown Platform 5 in the early hours of Tuesday morning when th etest runs were aborted and 390 104 had to make its way back to Edge Hill via Warrington BQ and Crewe.
As usual I have created an album for John's material, it is here:

I have also added them to the Combined Volume, along with a few I took this afternoon on a detour after family commitments, here:

Thank you John and welcome aboard.
I'm amazed by the shear ugliness of the NR Series 1 electrification compared to BR Mk3. This is starkly apparent in the picture at:-

I can understand why the good people of Bath might be worried about this appearing in Sydney Gardens.
I understand that there may be issues about the resilience of BR Mk 3 and its compatibility with high speed, but "HS1" seems to combine elegance with function? Surely NR can do better?
