47749 & 360119, 15.29 Cricklewood South Sidings-Northampton EMD (5Q98, 1E), Victoria bridge What a waste of energy but I am sure there are reasons for it that I do not understand! EMR's 360119 is towed from Cricklewood to Northampton's King's Heath depot for maintenance of some kind. Quite why it is being towed by GBRf's 47749 'City of Truro' and not under its own power I am not sure as this is a regular drag operation; advice anybody? It's an interesting thought that the line that the EMR unit operates on is just thirteen miles away to the east from this spot just south of Roade but despite this, the unit is dragged over sixty-five miles from the north London depot! Why not simply drag it from Bedford to Bletchley via the Marston Vale line and then head north to Northampton....too easy I suppose?
