As is becoming the norm now, the 12.20 Ilford to

Leicester light engine move was running very early eventually arriving at its destination nearly an hour up. 37800 'Cassiopeia' is about to pass under Ashton Road bridge just south of Roade after delivering a former GA Class 315 from Kilmarnock earlier in the day following an overnight stopover in Wembley Yard. As can be seen in the background, the work to stabilise the embankment at this location is moving painfully slowly forward following the tragic death of a contractor at this site back at the beginning of April. By now all works should have been completed and the access land returned to the farmer.
