On Sunday 16th March 2025, West Coast Railways led the first of two Footex charters for Liverpool fans off to Wembley to see their side face Newcastle United in the League Cup Final, top-and-tailed by 86259 ‘Les Ross’ and 86401 ‘Mons Meg’. That day, engineering works on the fast lines through Weedon Bec meant that all services were diverted via Northampton. You join 1Z35 just outside Rugby on a cloudy morning for the run up to Wembley Central, where your colleague will then take this train into Euston in preparation for a long evening return trip following a disappointing 2-1 defeat and a historic victory for Newcastle.
