Royal Train liveried 67005 attempts to make up time as it speeds past North Stafford Jnct on 24/07/2004 with 1E99 0905 SO Paignton-Newcastle. The train had been held for thirty minutes at Bristol Temple Meads awaiting the arrival of 1E32 0802 Penzance-Newcastle in order that passengers could transfer trains due to 1E32 (a four car voyager) being 'full and standing'. Oh for the mass re-intoduction of proper trains !!!!
