A visit to Birmingham New St on 29 August 1998 to see D9000 Royal Scots Grey on hire to Virgin Trains and working 1S87 Ramsgate to Edinburgh as far as New St.
0:51 I remember seeing that 323 in the centro livery right up until 2007 where London midland took over the franchise and that lasted until 2017 and that got succeeded by West Midlands railway
6:08 Today royal Scot’s grey has returned back to its br green livery as of this year and she’s back to its old number d9000 And Saphos trains are now operating with that loco
Birmingham is in the West Midlands just over 100 miles from London. there was a regular sevice from Euston to Birmingham New St run at the time by Silverlink ( purple snd green units ) but many units were still in the old Network South East Livery not having been changed to new livery
5:36 I remember seeing that 321 in silverlink livery when I took a ride on one to Coventry

13:05 I can remember hearing the paxman engined powercars and the virgin trains livery which they were incredibly noisy
If Birmingham really is in the North of England, then seeing an NSE livery there is freaky but interesting.
