Class 86 WCML tomorrow.

[plastictaffy]

Heard from a fairly reliable source that a class 86 will be working off Euston tomorrow - booked to leave there around 0630 - meaning it will come through Bletchley/Milton Keynes at around 0700-0715. Shame I don't start til 10 tomorrow and won't see it. Just thought you lot should know, just in case you fancied making the trip to see it.

Anyone going for the return working according to RTT there is an ECS movement right behind it from Preston, I assume this is the Kettle going back to MRC?
