Some photos taken at Rugby, Crewe, Bescot and Didcot around the year 2000.

Rugby was about to lose its distinctive overall roof in favour of a much smaller modern roof. The 86s and 87s still operated the West Coast services, with some still in InterCity livery.

47s were still in charge of cross country services, but were soon to be ousted in favour of Voyagers.
