222016 is seen passing Oakley just north of Bedford on the MML forming the 09.26 London St. Pancras to Sheffield. The picture is taken with the help of a ladder as Network Rail have installed a huge number of replacement bridges as part of the forthcoming electrification that have absurdly high parapets. Behind the train is the former Oakley station building, opened by the Midland Railway in 1857 and closed by British Railways in 1958.
