On my way to Tesco in Northampton for a quick last-minute Christmas Eve present dash I paused in the village of Milton Malsor as what was one of the very few freights of this day was due to pass. I was a little rushed, hence the locomotive's unfortunate positioning being partially obscured. 88005 'Minerva' leads the 12.08 Daventry (DIRFT) to Tilbury Tesco Express. Having always carried the reporting number of 4L48 of late it has been carrying 4Z48 in line with some other changes to such numbers that appears to be linked to various industrial action taking place and consequential changes to services.
