90008 Watford Gap 17 March 1989

90008 approaches Watford Gap on 17 March 1989 with the 1S69 14:30 Euston to Glasgow Central InterCity service. I certainly wouldn't take a picture like this nowadays, with a post bisecting the loco, but I have included it here as it shows a Class 90 in its original and best livery, in good lighting, and with the M1 motorway in the background.
