On my way back from Milton Keynes with a few minutes in hand and freight due I stopped off at my favourite local spot Victoria Bridge between Roade and Ashton. After a short wait, regular performer 66423 appeared leading the 4M07 08.02 Tilbury to Daventry service. This is usually a well-loaded train but in common with a fair few that I have observed recently it was noticeably short and with very few boxes, I estimated there to be half a dozen and all towards the rear. This begs a worrying question as to what exactly is going on with trade and shipping in these very uncertain times?
