The first of two southbound Freightliners within five minutes pass the fields between Roade and Ashton in Northamptonshire. 66570 leads the very late running 4Z61 05.34 Daventry to Tilbury Freightliner. Due to issues further south with up and down trains all having to use the slow lines freight was being held until paths appeared between passenger workings. 4Z61 had been sitting at Northampton for well over an hour before being permitted to continue its journey. However, despite these problems, it still arrived early at its destination due to its stopover in Wembley Yard being all but abandoned!
