Roarers in abundance, Friday 230586
Some mags back in 1986 regularly claimed that the surviving class 81-85 electrics had very little daytime class 1 work. This snapshot from 23 years ago perhaps questions their claim. Note the two "big' un's" on the 1015 Euston-Carlisle and 1110 Euston-Northampton.
