Fast becoming the norm is the use of the Weedon line, thus avoiding Northampton, for freight due to huge gaps in the timetable as a result of the Covid-19 travel restrictions. A regular freight that is using this route almost daily is the 4M27 11.13 Felixstowe to Trafford Park Freightliner that is pretty much always handled by a pair of Class 86s. In this view of Roade cutting, 86605 and 86637 get a move on with the well-loaded train that arrived twenty-one minutes early at its destination later in the day.
