Cross Country Changeover
In the ten years I'd been away from the railway, the imaginatively named CrossCountry had taken over cross country services from Virgin and the Voyagers had been reliveried.An unidentified Class 220 headed south at Spring Farm, near Goring, with 1O04, the 05:11 from Manchester Piccadilly to Bournemouth, on 3 May 2014. It would be a couple of weeks before I worked out where the numbers were on these units.
