390039, VT 15.00 London Euston-Carlisle (1S78, RT) from 350104, LM 14.47 London Euston-Birmingham New Street, near Cheddington
On the four track section of the WCML it is
quite common for one train to pass another when both are travelling in the same direction. It creates a strange sensation of slow motion and a chance to wave to fellow passengers! I have captured such a scene here near Cheddington just south of Leighton Buzzard. 390039, forming the 15.00 Euston to Carlisle, slowly overhauls 350104 on which we were travelling working the 14.47 Euston to Birmingham New Street.
