The corporate colours of British Rail looking amazing on the this class 86. The bare cab front end, with no additional jumper cables, and lack of headlight just gives it such a clean and uncluttered appearance.

Those winter trips to Carlisle stick in my mind for so many reasons, but primarily for how cold they were! Happy days all the same, with great sights and sounds, like this mixed bag of liveries!

86242 ‘James Kennedy G.C.’ approaches Carlisle with a cross country service for Scotland. Just looking at this shot reminds of the sound of the loco and those Mk2s braking into the platform. The loco was exported to Hungary in 2013.

In September 2022, to cope with additional travellers for the Queen's funeral, additional trains were run with BR #class86 locomotives. It was an excellent display of collaborative #railway decision making. Here are a few photos of 86401, still displaying the Caledonian Sleeper livery.
