A Volvo FL6 road-rail vehicle, VRN BU51VWX makes its way along the down fast line at Victoria bridge between Roade and Ashton. As well as having the hydraulic platform at the rear it has a dummy pantograph just behind the cab. It is used for testing and checking the alignment of the wiring and was being put to use on the Weedon line due to an unprecedented week-long closure and possession enabled by the COVID-19 pandemic timetable. During these strange times, it is good to see that the three-man crew are socially distancing appropriately.
