81007 takes the Crewe avoiding lines at Basford Hall Junction on 3 July 1985 with a northbound Speedlink working, presumably the 6F86 09:10 Willesden to Warrington Arpley. This is exactly the kind of problem that plagues most views looking down from road bridges on 25kV lines - wires everywhere getting in the way! I don't normally take such pictures, but I have included this one, as I have very few pictures of the early electric classes, and this is my only picture of a Class 81 hauling a mixed freight.
