A combo of blueness passes through Roade cutting almost reminiscent

of BR's corporate image days if not for the slight variance in the shading. Out of sight, on the front, 47749 'City of Truro' leads 360107 with 47739 coming along for the ride at the rear. The train was passing slowly through Roade cutting as the 5Q36 12.15 Ilford to Northampton conveying the former GA Desiro for temporary storage and one hundred and ten miles an hour modification at the Siemens' depot at Kingsheath. The unit will eventually be repainted and branded as EMR for use on the Corby to St. Pancras services whenever the newly electrified route is energised, tested and cleared for use.
