With snow gathering on the front of 222021, it passes a very cold Braybrooke just south of Market Harborough. The EMR Meridian is working the 1B22 08.12 Nottingham to St. Pancras train that despite the inclement weather arrived on time in London. With less than twelve months left in service on this route now, these units will be replaced by Hitachi built Class 810 Aurora bi-mode trains even if the electrification extension to Market Harborough is not complete. This electrification will mean that the masts will dominate the scene at this relatively remote spot in north Northamptonshire with the county boundary with Leicestershire just over a mile distant from this spot.
