Colas 08-4x4/4S-RT switch and crossing tamper DR73929 does its work
near Victoria bridge (just south of Roade) whilst the adjacent fast lines remain open. One of the operators of the tamper is seen climbing down from the front cab to observe its operation as it passes by very close to one of two concrete culvert covers both previously marked with a white stripe of paint. The Avanti West Coast train is the 10.19 Euston to Manchester service worked by 390153.
