London Euston to Glasgow Central

Narrated by Fred Dinenage

Stereo Running time189 mins

Britain's West Coast Main Line viewed from the driving
cab of the former INTERCITY's crack express from
London to Glasgow -all on one DVD!

Part one covers the leg from Euston to Preston,
scheduled to run non-stop at a maximum speed of 110
mph behind a classic class 87 electric loco. The route
takes us via Watford Junction, Milton Keynes,
Rugby, Stafford and Crewe.

Due to a broken rail the train takes an unscheduled
diversion onto the slow line for a few miles
north of Watford.

Part two covers the second leg of the 401 mile journey to Glasgow Central, running via Lancaster, Carnforth, Oxenholme, Penrith, Carlisle, Lockerbie, and Carstairs. Our class 87 manages to maintain a speed of 90 mph over the legendary 1 in 75 banks up to Shap and Beattock summits - an achievement that would have been unimaginable
in steam days.
