A popular photographic local location to me is the footbridge at one of the two former foot crossings between Blisworth and Milton Malsor. From the mid-afternoon onwards on a sunny day, it offers commanding and well-lit views of both north and southbound services often attracting a number of enthusiasts when something out of the ordinary is about; this particular evening was no exception! DVT 82139 leads the 1Z96 16.21 Manchester Piccadilly to Euston LSL (Locomotive Services Limited) 'charter' but that was operating, to all intents and purposes, as a service train with a first-class walk on flat fare.
