Rail Charter Services HST at Wigan - Thursday 20th January 2022
HST Powercar 43059 is leading with partner 43058 on the rear. As you can see the train wasn't hanging around here and gave a nice tone too running 11 early through the station. Noted that the station is getting a makeover with green for Avanti replacing the Virgin red. I didnt take the gambe of being on the other side as you can see the pendo blocking P5 ontime.
The train was on a test run on the return seen here headng from Carlisle to Crewe.
