With the water tankers glistening in the very late afternoon sunshine, 66143 brings up the rear of the 11.53 West Hampstead to Toton RHT train as it drifts into Wellingborough station approaching a red signal. Due to it coming to a halt the water jets have been switched off to avoid damage to the track from the extremely high-pressure jets that clear autumn detritus from it. This view clearly shows the extensive platform extensions to the south of the station.
