April 2016 has been quite a good month on the West Coast Mainline. The month has bought some good variety of Loco-Hauled passenger train services!
Starting with the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express, hauled by an iconic AL6, 86259 Les Ross, seen arriving at Milton Keynes.
A few shots of the Caledonian Sleeper at speed, hauled by class 90's.
The Northern Belle, with two Top & Tail class 57's seen arriving & departing London Euston. Then filmed being overtaken from onboard a Virgin service, then seen passing Milton Keynes at speed heading North!
Then just to top it off a football charter seen arriving ECS at Euston hauled by a class 66 and then later departing Euston with 87002 at the helm.
Lots of variety this month, lets see what the summer months of Charters and specials has to offer.
Thanks for watching

Great to see football specials still in operation - it was travelling on those in the 80s/90s that got me interested in trains.
I was amazed to see a class 66 top and an 87 tail....!
Very fast moving trains you saw, those sleepers certainly shift, enjoyed watching Thanks
Glad to see the 86s still in use :)
Amazing. What a wonderful trains.
great to see 87 at Euston !
Bring back loco hauled trains! that was a good video.
Brilliant video.
So cool!
surprised hornby havent released their class 87 in this super glossy livery...
.
Seeing that race to Milton Keynes I doubt the 57's would be able to go as fast as the Pendolino... :D
Terrific shots of the Sleepers at speed!
That Football special must have been generously scheduled 30 minutes late departing (why can they never get the coaches into the platform on time?), right time by Nuneaton!
And the 87's return!
Pity there aren't any more of them . Not in the UK anyway so far as i know. Those that were not shipped on to Bulgaria 87002 is used for charter and Caledonian sleeper and another couple have been preserved . I loved the class 87 and if you are interested this link should explain the story of their demise in UK. bulgarianrailways.wordpress.com/ex-uk-class-87/
Two others have survived in the UK: 87001 and 87035. 87001 is at the NRM and 87035 is at the Crewe Heritage Centre.
Virgin take note:
This is what proper trains look like.
390h8er thats not there falt they havent been getting the latest rolling stock for many years
390h8er But the pendolinho?!
The Pendolinos are alright but I love the good old trusty ACs that speed through Tamworth every once in a while.
Where the hell have they been hiding those ex virgin carriages for the last 10 years?
Everywhere...there is 2 coaches up at Doncaster in poor condition, worth a trip too see what they are like really
Scotrail... Well DRS.. had 14 for peak time Fife circle services, that were painted virgin livery and had mismatched interiors, they've now been painted in scotrail, there's also a few in a yard in fife
If you know where to look you’ll find tons- carnforth Steamtown, Crewe, there may be one kicking around outside the nrm still
Are those sleeping cars on the northern bell the square window coaches at front
What's with the loco hauled services returning?
They are specials. They are not everyday services. that said, this video is still awesome :)
is that an old Gatwick Express carriage I see on the football special?
+Richard Kail with the exception of one they all appear to be ex vrgin MK3's
ok
Doesn't look like it
They're all ex Virgin Mark 2s apart from one First Class which is still in InterCity Swallow livery
Why do some of the 57’s have tarpaulin covering the grids?
A class 66 on a passenger run!? That’s a first
Definitely not
Football special definitely bin dippers (scousers)
MK1 are still in use ?
Not in regular passenger service, the oldest carriages in regular use are the later Mark 2s (D, E, F) on the Caledonian Sleeper, Cumbrian Coast, Wherry Lines and the Fife Circle Line
