The Tesco Express (as it is dubbed) lives up to its name as it heads south between Roade and Ashton on this damp and misty Sunday lunchtime. Due to the trackwork, evidenced in this photograph, the regular 4L48 11.00 ex DIRFT has had to take the fast line south from Rugby to where it headed first before 66302 ran round. This DRS service completes this rather odd avoidance route on a number of occasions throughout the year with the up (or down) slow lines anywhere between Daventry and Hanslope Junction out of use for maintenance.
