Could it be that the 221 sets are being rebranded for 'cascading' to the Scottish routes? There is meant to be stock being moved north to replace the Class 43's still being used from Glasgow to Aberdeen so I wonder if that's what will be coming? There is much electrification going on but not entirely yet. A close encounter with the RHTT...! A fine open view at Rugeley there. Cheers!

@@Flymochairman1 Thanks for watching mate! Rugeley is a fantastic spot! 👍 Yes, it does make you wonder with the 43s going, but I think the 222 Meridian sets from the Midland Main Line are most likely, especially since Cross Country are having more 220/221s and East Midlands Trains are now getting the brand new purple 810 units! 👍

I remember way back in the mid 70s my parents used to hire a chalet for two weeks every summer at silver trees on Cannock chase. As a keen spotter I’d spend many hours on Rugeley station. I can still remember the 86s and 87s flying past on express trains. Happy days and great memories relived, thanks for the reminder 😊

I’m going to have a day at Rugeley next summer, bring back some memories of my late father 😢 I actually work on the railway as a level crossing keeper on the ECMl but even that’s not as exciting as it used to be. But after nearly 41 years working on the railway I can’t say I’ve not enjoyed it but I won’t miss to much once I retire.
