Having received attention at Wolverton works 150142 begins its journey

back home in the north. It was running as the 08.08 Wolverton to Newton Heath but, interestingly, it was never activated on RTT despite the timings being spot on when it passed me. A few other workings on RTT at this time looked odd or were blank so I can only conclude that it was having one of its 'funny' moments. Notice the recently constructed rock armour on the embankment here close to Ashton Road bridge just south of Roade. This type of embankment stabilisation appears to be contractors and Network Rail's 'go-to' method and is seen in increasing numbers around the network.
