67006 'Royal Sovereign' leads a superb uniform set of retro liveried BR stock past Victora bridge just south of Roade. It was leading the 1Z86 09.22 Huddersfield to Wembley Central footex carrying football supporters to the capital for the 2021/22 Championship play-off final with Nottingham Forest. Unfortunately, the fans on-board the train were to be disappointed with them losing 1-0 to Forest, unlike the previous day when their rugby league team were triumphant beating Wigan Warriors 16-14 in the season-ending Challenge Cup final.
