When the subject is interesting and the weather this good
I will take a 'going-away' shot quite happily! 67005 'Queen's Messenger' brings up the rear of the 08.43 Newcastle Central to Wembley Central footex as it passes Milton Crossing between Roade and Blisworth. The train was running just under half an hour late by this point following an unexplained pause a short distance north at Hillmorton Junction. A fellow enthusiast on the bridge here indicated that the driver had stopped the train due to a brake dragging issue following its reversal at Nuneaton. The football fans on board did not miss the start of their Carabao Cup final at Wembley but the result did not go their way - Newcastle losing 2-0 to Manchester United.
