Preston
A Pendolino stands at Preston platform 4 on 18 June 2009, having terminated here with the 2030 hrs ex London Euston. Thunderbird 57312 The Hood has appeared at the rear of the set and an attempt has just been made to extend the Pendolino's Dellner coupler. This has failed and the 57 is about to move off empty handed. The photograph was taken from the top deck of the new multi-storey car park alongside Preston station which had opened a few days earlier. [Note: One explanation for these manoeuvres is that the 57 was intending to haul the Pendolino to Longsight depot via Chorley and Bolton and that the problem with the coupler necessitated the train being rerouted back to Crewe then on to Longsight under the wires.]
