This is a photograph that resulted in cold chips for yours truly! I told my wife that I would only be twenty minutes as I walked out from home, with my ladder, to capture the passage of the 17.38 Bescot to Camden Junction infrastructure working as it approached Northampton. However, in their wisdom control held it and held it again for a procession of diverted Pendolinos and locals to pass at the station. Eventually, it got underway and is seen running thirty minutes late just south of Roade heading south with 66727 'Maritime One' dead at the rear with 66711 'Sence' doing the work at the front. Notice the track machine tucked in at the rear of the consist. Also, notice the spire of Hanslope's St. James the Great church catching the evening sun against a dark sky.
