Well, this was one of the trips that went wrong almost. Supposed to catch the 08:15 off MK and it left Euston 40 minutes late due to a fault on the train and having to swap at Euston. Screwed it and went via Stoke-On-Trent which was also a nice idea as football fans as well.
As a result I lost 30 minutes at Crewe which mean I missed a charter and 2 freight movements but sucks to suck after all.
Another disappointment hit me when Crewe Heritage centre wasn't open on this day I went up, and instead, they moved their opening day to the 18th! Which means all footage is filmed from the station.

But enough of that you will be seeing services from:
- Avanti West Coast (390, 805, 807)
- LNWR (350)
- TFW (197, 67+WAG)
- Northern: (323)
And of course the special guest of the Belmond with 2 67 locos Top and tailing the consist heading up to Liverpool for the Grand National and LNWR shooting themselves in the foot with crew related issues.
