This time on the down slow taking it via Northampton 86259 'Les Ross/Peter Pan' passes through Roade cutting as the 0Z86 12.04 London Euston to Rugby carriage sidings. This light engine move follows from it hauling the Cumbrian Mountain Express yesterday the headboard from which still adorns the front of the locomotive. As E3137, 86045 and latterly 86259 I wonder how many times it passed this spot from its introduction to service in 1966 until withdrawal prior to restoration in 2003?
