390043, VT 12.55 Manchester Piccadilly-London Euston (1A31, RT), Roade cutting
390043 sweeps around the curve off the Weedon loop line
to rejoin the Northampton lines at the very northern end of Roade cutting. The 12.55 Manchester to Euston service will then run along the quadruple section of track all the way to the capital. The Northampton lines dive away to the right passing underneath what is colloquially referred to as 'The Birdcage' - constructed in order to support the cutting walls following their partial collapse in 1890.
