A snatched photo. This is very likely a Newcastle to Southampton service. On this route, instead of going via Birmingham International and Coventry like the Manchester-Bournemouth service, the trains make their way slowly on to the Snow Hill line then run non-stop to Leamington Spa. It's downhill all the way and an exhilarating ride through Solihull and the Arden countryside.
