Seen yesterday evening passing Wellingborough and now seen again slightly further north 45112 'Royal Army Ordnance Corps' heads south with the 1C49 12.07 Derby to St. Pancras service. It is about to pass the delightful Finedon Station signal box a Midland structure that I do not have an exact date for but it will have originated from sometime around 1890. As the name of the box suggests, there was once a station at this location that closed very early on in 1940. Its premature closure was probably due to it being located nearly two and a half miles from the village that it purported to serve!
