There are regular moves between Crewe Gresty Bridge and Wembley every Saturday in both directions. This is so that the Chiltern Railways Class 68s, that are operated on its behalf by DRS, can be serviced and receive their exams. Other locomotives are often dragged as part of these workings but a Class 57 is not particularly common. 68013 collected 57002 'Rail Express' en route at Willesden after the Class 68 had done a rather convoluted move after it set off earlier in the morning that wiped off its fifty-seven minute early departure. The duo is seen passing through Roade from the village's Hyde Road bridge.
