With the fog being so dense getting photographs deep in Roade cutting proved problematic. 153311 approaches journey's end as the 5Z53 10.30 Derby Etches Park to Wolverton. I had been tracking the progress of this train since it left Derby. Having arrived nearly an hour early at Rugby I thought it would simply carry on taking full advantage of the gained time. However, with a booked slot to leave the WCML at Wolverton quite tricky to obtain, it was held at Rugby losing virtually all of its advantage by the time it passed here at Roade.
This is one of the units that was acquired by Network Rail six months after this image was taken to become one of their infrastructure recording trains, see.........
