            86225 990704 Crewe img786 

The Class 86 was the Class 47 or Black 5 of the Electric Loco world in the UK. The 100 loco's worked everything and everywhere on the WCML and even migrated to the Great Eastern and ECML as well. They were powerful but mostly ignored!
However, now that they have gone from regular service, they are much missed. 
The three preserved examples still keep a presence to this day.
Their use with Cross Country saw them work between Birmingham and Manchester and points North to Scotland on the remaining Loco Hauled services that ran
