21-180 Class 221 Super Voyager No. 221-124 restarts a Cross Country Service from Southampton

Taken 15/12/21: The Class 220 and 221 Voyagers are diesel-electric high-speed multiple-unit trains built in Belgium by Bombardier Transportation in 2000 and 2001. The small numbers placed low on the sides of the leading carriage often make identification difficult, but Class 221s have titling mechanism. However, the sets operated by CrossCountry had their tilt function disabled in 2008 to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs. They were introduced in 2001 to replace the 20-year-old InterCity 125 and 30-year-old Class 47-hauled Mark 2 fleets operating on the Cross Country Route, initially for Virgin CrossCountry and since 2007 by CrossCountry

Note:
CrossCountry (legal name XC Trains Limited[) is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by Arriva UK Trains, operating the Cross Country franchise. It operates intercity and other long-distance trains across the country, but does not serve Greater London including the UK's longest direct rail service from Aberdeen in the north-east of Scotland to Penzance in the south-west of England. It is one of only two franchised train operating companies that does not operate any stations, the other being Caledonian Sleeper. All routes call at or terminate at Birmingham New Street.
