220017

220017 is a 3-carriage Voyager made by Bachmann and has two flaws - one carriage is missing (But can be bought) and one side on 60417 has the wrong number. It is in Virgin Trains livery, but is operated by CrossCountry. Occasionally, the train will come out as its other identity (221101 on 60417) and operate for Virgin Trains, however, this is likely to decrease or not operate at all, as the arrival of the Virgin Trains HighSpeedTrain is expected in December 2011.
