86401, 08.15 Lancaster-London Euston (1Z86, 1E), Victoria bridge
86401 'Mons Megg' passes Victoria bridge in South Northamptonshire leading
the West Coast Railway operated 08.15 Lancaster to Euston service on behalf of Avanti West Coast. The return of locomotive hauled services has been an extraordinary turn of events with passengers once again able to enjoy the luxury of 'proper' trains with comfortable seats and unrestricted views as they travel! Notice in the background of this photograph the tall crane towering above the water tower. This has been installed above Roade cutting in connection with the installation of a new bridge spanning the cutting that will carry Roade's bypass.
