In the pouring rain at Northampton station another two late

running London NorthWestern services pass. 350234 and another unit arrive at platform one with the 07.09 Rugeley/06.35 Crewe to London Euston service that will have come together at Birmingham. Meanwhile, the driver has just alighted from 350253 that has arrived as the 08.22 Euston to Rugeley Trent Valley. Both these trains were late being just below the delay-repay threshold.
