156452, 09.40 Wolverton Centre sidings-Newton Heath TMD (5N31, 7E), site of Roade station
A total 'grab shot' of the second Northern return working
of the morning passes the site of Roade's former station. 156452 was working the 5N31 09.40 Wolverton works to Newton Heath. This working had caught me unawares as I was returning from the garage shop hence the poorly composed photograph that includes plenty of the new houses on the former Pianoforte site in the vista. Notice the Pendolino fast approaching from the south that could have spoilt the photograph.
