66501, 03.52 Garston-London Gateway (4L52, RT) site of Roade station 
 Whilst the building of the vast new housing estate in my home village of Roade has not been welcomed by many and has ruined some key photographic spots, new ones, if temporary, have been opened up. This is the first time that I have been able to get below the footbridge that spans the line at the site of Roade's former station. Here, 66501 'Japan 2001' passes leading the 03.52 Garston to London Gateway Freightliner service. As usual, notice the general detritus left behind by contractors including plant machinery, bags of unused ballast, drainage pipes and, rather randomly, a wheelie bin!
