221110 and 221118, VT 14.18 London Euston-Birmingham New Street (1T43, 1E) & 66565, ballast train, Hyde Road bridge
Voyagers 221110 and 221118 work the 14.18 Euston to Birmingham
New Street Avanti West Coast on the down slow line that will take it via Northampton rather than the more normal Weedon loop. The reason is clear to see with engineering works closing the fast lines at Roade. 66565 is seen reversing a short rake of loaded HQA(E) ballast wagons back to the work site just beyond the A508 bridge in the village of Roade.
