Class 221, VT 12.50 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1B21, 12L), Roade cutting An unidentified class 221 Voyager passes through the northern end of Roade cutting forming the 1B21 12.50 Birmingham New Street to Euston. In this view of the cutting, taken from the isolated Thorpe Wood bridge, the colloquially named 'birdcage' is seen spanning the up and down slow lines. This was installed to strengthen the retaining walls after the 1890 collapse. In the early 1960s the steel framework was raised to accommodate the 25kv wiring.
