66090, 06.53 Dollands Moor-DIRFT (6M45, 12L), site of Roade station
My second trip out on the hottest day ever recorded
in the UK finds me at the site of Roade station. Smoking badly (actually considerably worse than in this photograph) 66090 'Maritime Intermodal Six' leads the 6M45 06.53 Dollands Moor to Daventry daily bottled water train. Now I like the heat but I have to say that the intensity on this particular afternoon was quite extraordinary with my thermometer peaking at 39.2 degrees C not long after this photograph was taken.
