Although this might appear to be a Virgin West Coast train it has infact been hired in by Silverlink County to form a 'Cobbler' service to Northampton...known for the manufacture of shoes. In charge is 87012 in NSE 'Back the Bid' livery but this loco hauled train is not due to run much longer as it will be replaced by new class 350 EMUs. The place is Carpenders Park and the date is June 8th 2005. The good news is that like 87019...87012 has since joined the GBRf loco fleet.
