This location at Wright's Lane bridge near the Northamptonshire village of Gayton is one that I visited many times during the final years of operation of Virgin West Coast's locomotive-hauled trains. However, due to the monotony of Pendolinos and Voyagers and, more importantly, the installation of palisade fencing I have not been here for a long time. However, on returning from seeing Grand Central's test train I stopped off for a short while. Whilst the fencing still ruins the attractiveness of the location it does remain a smashing spot for a late afternoon or evening train. 390056 powers past working Avanti's 18.58 Euston to Birmingham New Street service.
