It's already 14.30 and the sun has dropped so it does not manage to illuminate the 13.14 Birmingham New Sreet to Euston as it passes the site of Roade station woked by 350377 working as a single unit. Notice the line of cottages at the top left if the image, these were built for railway when the line through Roade and the cutting just beyond the bridge were being constructed. The navies put up with primitive conditions in encampments with the railway cottages being the preserve of the senior staff overseeing the work.
