Due to the failure of a Class 390 Pendolino (390040, 1B48, 09.10 Birmingham New Street-London Euston), a short distance away the up fast line was blocked at Blisworth necessitating all up services to be diverted via Northampton. 221104 and 221114 accelerate on the up-grade through Roade cutting working the 06.52 Edinburgh to Euston service. I could not imagine a much worse way to travel from Scotland to London than on a Voyager especially when a lengthy diversion added to the journey time!
