    A pair of departures from Piccadilly station get away. On the right is Pendolino 390031 with 1A46 1455 off, and on the left is 185146 with 1P1328 York to Manchester Airport. This unit arrived a short time earlier and reverses here to head for the airport.
    I had only been on Piccadilly's platforms for some 15-20 minutes having travelled from Euston, now another Euston to Manchester working arrives with 390050 rostered to 1H26 1300 off London.
    Arriva Cross Country liveried 221136 powers up and slowly leaves the station with a run to Bournemouth, 1V61 1507 off.
