Nice pics there mate. Good to see an 87 in the classic position at International. I can remeber spending plenty of time there getting photos like that back when they were virgin liveried. Can't wait to get out there photographing them again.

TBH, I'm more interested in the classic 87 Set (87+9 Mk3+DVT)
not Top n'Tail 87s
Good to see a DVT back on the WCML!

Good Photos Matt!, Shame I didn't see them today, due to bad weather

No DVT on a classic West Coast set!
87+10-13MkIIIs+BG with a roaring device on the ECS.

Its not top and tail, although i would imagine it wont be long before it is, certainly for the service. Was todays delay TDM related by any chance, hasnt been used since September 2004...
Like the paintjob though, how long before gold buffers added?

What livery is that? seems every time I check out pics of 87's since their departure, they have been in new colours
