This is not a working very often seen in the

daylight usually passing through the Northamptonshire countryside in the middle of the night. On this morning severe delays meant that the 22.01 Coatbridge to Felixstowe hauled by veteran AC electrics 86237 and 86639 was captured in the spring sunshine passing the oilseed rape fields between Roade and Ashton. In the background is the village of Grafton Regis with its Norman tower of St. Mary the Virgin's church catching the light.
