Due to the reduced service provided by Avanti West Coast out of London due to staffing issues, Locomotive Services Limited decided to run a Crewe-London Euston-Manchester Piccadilly service on Fridays. 87002 ‘Royal Sovereign’, in British Rail Intercity livery, brings up the rear of the ‘Friday Charter’ 1Z40 1429 Crewe to London Euston at Whittington Lane, Atherstone on Friday 26-08-2022.
