The rear end of the 17.53 Kettering to Bedford Rail
Operations Group (ROG)/Data Acquisition and Testing Services Ltd (DATS) test train passes Irchester. As well as a faithfully re-created delivery liveried Mk.III coach there are two former Virgin 'Pretendolino' coaches with 90035 and 91128 'Intercity 50' sandwiched in between with 57310 'Pride of Cumbria' bringing up the rear. I was a little disappointed that all four runs made on this particular occasion were on the fast lines and with no pantographs raised.
