The sky in the background should have meant that this train was bathed in lovely early summer sunshine. However, there was a stubborn and virtually complete bank of cloud behind and to the left that blocked out the sun so the train remains poorly lit! The 1Z78 Curvey Weaver railtour approaches Northampton past Milton Malsor on its outward leg that left Euston at 06.42. 66083, still in its old EWS livery and branding, leads the train that would end up at Graston Freightliner terminal via various odd and rare sections of track. 66078, resplendent in its new bright red DB livery, brings up the rear of the train that is entirely composed of twelve superb Mk. I coaches.
