Vintage motive power for the 5Q97 10.29 Northampton to Cricklewood drag with 47727 'Edinburgh Castle/Caisteal Shun Eideann' leading the train past Roade. Whilst the Class 47 is approaching its sixtieth birthday (2024) the EMR Desiro unit being dragged south, 360120, is a youngster at twenty-one years old. The Class 360s that operate on the st. Pancras to Corby MML route are periodically dragged from London to Northampton's Siemens depot for exams and maintenance but I still don't understand why they cannot move under their own electrical power?
