Due to repairs to a semi-collapsed embankment on the western side of the down fast line at Hillmorton Junction all down services have been diverted through Northampton with a severe TSR on the up line in place but, at least, that route has remained open. 390005 'City of Wolverhampton' picks up speed away from Northampton past Wilson's Crossing working the diverted 10.50 Euston to Liverpool 1F15 service. Avanti appears to have been struggling to keep its fleet looking smart as in the case of 390005 with a distinctly dirty front end. Perhaps its carriage washers have been frozen up recently with the week of sub-zero temperatures throughout most of the county?
