47749 & 360108, 08.22 Cricklewood Depot-Northampton EMD (5Q97, 14E), Victoria bridge From Victoria bridge just south of Roade 37611 'Pegasus' heads south in the distance as the 0H73 light engine move from Derby to Wembley. Meanwhile 47749 'City of Truro' leads an East Midlands Desiro 360108 to Northampton as the 5Q97 08.22 Cricklewood to Northampton EMD presumably for an exam of some kind? With the Class 360s now in service on the MML between St. Pancras and Corby they still need to be maintained and it is Siemens' Kingsheath depot that will be undertaking this work. Whilst it is good news that GBRf has got the contract to haul them from their Cricklewood base I do not quite understand why arrangements have not been made for them to run under their own power? Just a thought to finish on: with the Class 47 being fifty-six years old and the Class 37 in the distance approaching its sixtieth the combined age of the two veteran locomotives is over one hundred and fifteen years old!
