The 4M63 09.12 Felixstowe to Trafford Park Freightliner is seen 'off-route' being led by 66520. The train is seen on the Weedon 'fast' line away from its more usual route via the Northampton loop. Normally, freight is kept well away from this route but things on the railways are far from normal at the moment; along with the rest of everyday life! The Crick tunnel was undergoing a week-long closure for drainage works taking advantage of the much reduced national timetable thus enabling freight on this route.
