68003, 15.49 Garston Car Terminal-Dagenham Docks (6L48, 7E), site of Roade station 
 In very poor lighting 68003 'Astute' leads the daily 6L48 15.49 Garston to Dagenham Docks empty car transporter service. The train is seen on the up slow line passing the site of Roade station with the A508 overbridge seen to the top left. Whilst this service is normally electric hauled by a Class 88 on this occasion diesel traction was utilised and I certainly knew it hearing the locomotive for some time prior to its passing before it even entered Roade cutting some mile or so away!
