Despite leaving Long Buckby station exactly one and a half miles to the south of this spot close to Watford village the Desiro has reached line speed and passes working the 08.14 Northampton to Birmingham all station stopper. Both the units working the train, 350112 and 350122, are from the original batch of Desiros introduced nearly fifteen years ago by Silverlink to replace the venerable, with apologies to the late Ted Rogers, Dusty Bins (Class 321)...where has that time gone?
