66117 brightens an otherwise grey and dull morning leading the

09.15 Trafford Park to Southampton Freightliner service. The two bridges in the background were constructed between 2014 and 2016 as part of the grade separation programme to rebuild Norton Bridge Junction. The first bridge directly behind the train is designated ‘5’ and it carries the double tracks of the route to Stone and Stoke whilst the second bridge, ‘5a’ carries the re-routed B5026 road that used to cross the bridge that I am standing on.
