66537, 09.58 Basford Hall-Felixstowe North (4L79) & 390138, VT 10.47 Liverpool Lime Street-London Euston (1A25, 1L), A508 road bridge, Roade
66537 brings the 09.58 Crewe Basford Hall to Felixstowe Freightliner
through Roade Cutting about to pass under the A508 road bridge in the village. This was a very lightly loaded train with just the five boxes seen here, the rest was just a procession of empty flats. Having heard an item on the radio in the week from the Felixstowe terminal this situation is a refection of our current trading situation. The vast vessels arriving and the trains leaving the terminal are packed with full boxes of goods. Meanwhile, many of the trains arriving are lightly loaded or even carrying empty boxes to then be taken away on the vessels. This is a situation that the chancellor will not be at all happy about and one that BREXIT will or will not change for the better depending on your dogma! The train is about to be overtaken by 390138 'City of London' working the 10.47 Liverpool Lime Street to Euston service.
