It is quite common for the Weedon route avoiding Northampton
to be closed on Saturday night and into Sunday morning with it reopening around 11.00. The first down train to use the route and the penultimate diverted up train are seen passing through Roade cutting. To the left 390114 'City of Manchester' works the 09.51 Euston to Manchester whilst the eponymous 390114 'City of Preston' works the 09.00 Preston to Euston.
