In line with other Freightliner and intermodal trains, the daily 6M45 empty Ferrywaggon train from Daventry to Dollands Moor is also operating at a much-reduced capacity. This train is usually very long and makes a right racket due to the resonance of the empty wagons when compared to its balancing loaded service. 66199 leads the train on the approach to Northampton passing Kingsthorpe. The land to the left is under threat of development to become a huge housing area, at least this is the plan following lengthy and protracted discussions over the last few years. So much so that the soil in the field has not been cultivated for a number of seasons now in anticipation of the work commencing!
