The last Crosscountry
Joseph Birchall

Today marked the end of the early morning Voyager to Edinburgh, departing Truro at 07:07, which I have gone out to see most weekdays since the timetable change on the 22nd of May 2023.  Whilst waiting for it from my usual position, a ‘150’ passed, on its way to Truro, presumably to help with the Falmouth services.  I have attached some pictures, with the morning sun illuminating the ‘150’, both the ‘150’ and ‘221’ side by side, and a close up of the ‘221’ itself.

Many thanks, Joe - well done for recording the occasion.
