I was hoping the loco hauled services would make their way further up north, e.g. on Euston to Manchester services, last time I went on a loco hauled service on this route was just over a year ago, being hauled by 87002, I believe this loco may well be used on the loco hauled services later in the summer.
I much prefer Mk3's anyday, they seem to have a much nicer atmosphere comapred to a pendolino. What I thought was a strange choice was VXC's use of Mk2's on the Man Picc - Bham NS services, they should have used Mk3's, they would have matched the DVT being used and they could have included a buffet.
