This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Hmmm. I just wonder if it might be the 1020 from Birmingham New Street to Edinburgh Waverley. Just wonder. Could be, couldn't it?

So is it?

Well, it has to be the 1020 ex BHM to EDB as you have exhausted all the other possibilities!

This train is diagrammed for a Voyager despite the whole journey being "under the wires." Though this is very useful when the West Coast is closed and thus can run via non electrified tracks such as the Settle & Carlisle...

...or in one journey I did being diverted at Preston via Blackburn and the S&C to Carlisle, only to then be further diverted to Glasgow via Dumfries and Kilmarnock! Only to stay overnight and come back down the exact same way.

At last! Yippee! I'll have a party to celebrate this win, and invite all my friends! I'm sure the two of us will have a great time... :)

Okay - my turn; give me a few minutes...
