I was working in London from 1963 to 1965, making regular weekend trips home to St. Helens via Liverpool). Electric working through to Euston commenced in about 1966. The loco change point from electric to diesel haulage changed progressively from Crewe (until 1964), then Nuneaton (from mid 1964), and finally Rugby (circa late 1964). We had numerous diversions en route, but at the London end, the train went once or twice to Kensingon Olympia, but otherwise we always arrived at Euston (once about 5 hours late after D269 failed at Walsall.)
