Window-hanging through Wolverton back in the day

Description
A somewhat common practice years ago but not entirely possible these days, was being situated in the first coach behind the engine and being able to film at nearly 100MPH. This short piece was taken in the late 1990s as 87014 rushes its way northbound through Wolverton overtaking a Freightliner service running on the down slow. Enjoy! ;-)
