As we passed DIRFT on our journey back from Birmingham, I observed 66434 waiting to leave the confines of the depot with the 4L48 13.01 Freightliner to Purfleet. By the time we had alighted from our train at Northampton, gone through the barriers and walked round to the Spencer Bridge road bridge, it was in the station being brought to a halt at the up middle road signal. This wait enabled 350245, working the 11.37 Crewe to Euston, to get out in front of it.
