Thanks to Network Rail's controversial scheme to clear the lineside
of excess vegetation and uncontrolled tree growth areas of trackside that were previously off-limits for photography have now been opened up. Here is a great example at Milton Malsor just south of Northampton. 350248 and 350244 pass the wonderfully open spot with the 06.54 Birmingham New Street to Euston. Notice in the background the large sign on the nearby M1 for Junction 15A and Northampton services.
