Two class 390s pass each other at Roade in Northamptonshire. To the left and unidentified Pendolino heads south with the 13.35 Manchester Piccadilly to Euston. To the right, 390016 is working the 14.37 Euston to Manchester. The area of cleared land in the foreground, resembling an urban desert, is the site of the former Pianoforte factory site that is being prepared for hundreds of houses to be built on it. Meanwhile, one of Roade's two now redundant water towers stands on the skyline to the left.
