47739 & 56081, 07.52 Leicester LIP-Wolverton Centre Sidings (5Z20, 65L), Roade cutting Running over an hour late, 47739 leads two barrier coaches and 56081 on the back through a cold and snowy Roade cutting. The 5Z20 07.52 Leicester to Wolverton left its base behind time and never recovered losing even more minutes during its journey. It was undertaking this trip in connection with the dragging of a Class 720 (720554) later in the day to Derby. Unfortunately, this was routed via the Marston Vale line and the Midland route so would not return through Roade. On a normal non-COVID lockdown day I may well have gone to see it but, at the moment, this could not really be justified as essential travel!
