4V43 the Wakefield to Didcot is not a regular visitor to the southern end of the WCML in fact, I think that this is only the second time that I have seen it and managed a photograph. It is usually routed around Birmingham via Walsall and Bescot to then continue its journey via Coventry and then to Leamington Spa to get to its destination via the GW Banbury route. I am not sure as to why it was off-route but it makes a fine sight as it speeds through Bletchley with a bright red 66114 at the helm.
