As the diverted 10.51 Daventry to Ripple Lane 'Tesco Express'

heads south on the up fast the cause of the diversion is in view. Colas tamper DR73929 goes about its work re-ballasting the up slow line. During the is process it makes painfully slow progress along the track at what is considerably less than walking pace and making a fair bit of noise as it does so! The photograph is taken from Victoria bridge located just south of Roade in Northamptonshire.
