The rare sight of a loco hauled (or ANY) mail train on Britain's East Coast Mainline. Loco is painted in a special colour scheme to celebrate London's 2012 Olympic bid.
Crossing the "Silvery Tay" heading south to Edinburgh. You can see the remnants of the original Tay Bridge which collapsed into the river in December 1879 taking a passenger train with it.
Now carrying 'Host City' Decals rather than 'Back the Bid' for 2012 Olympics, 87012 heads Shieldmuir(Glasgow) to Willesden(London) Royal Mail train thru Roade.
