The closure of the WCML south of Stafford for 9 days over the festive season to renew track in Shugborough Tunnel has meant the diversion of many trains between Crewe and Colwich Junction via Kidsgrove and the former North Staffs line. On 28th December 2012 Virgin Class 390 Pendolino No. 390122 'Penny The Pendolino' also carrying the name of the Olympic gymnast 'Beth Tweddle MBE' passes along the 3 mile single line section of track between Barthomley Junction and Crewe with the 08:00 London Euston - Glasgow Central service on 28th December 2012.
