Freightliner's 86614 and 86604 lead the 11.13 Felixstowe North to Trafford Park service past the site of Roade station taken from the footbridge that spans the lines. As has become a more common practice this week with the implementation of the much-reduced emergency timetable, control routed this on the down fast thus avoiding Northampton. The fourteen remaining Freightliner Class 86s are limited to seventy-five miles per hour so the driver of this service would need to keep the power on as a Pendolino was close behind!
