 This appears to be a perfectly normal scene in Roade cutting but looks can be deceiving! Both Avanti services were running at barely walking pace, as were all trains on the fast line in the vicinity. All up services were being Brought to a halt at the signal just beyond the bridge in this view, held and then permitted to move to the next signal. At one point 221110 working the 1A28 12.06 Wrexham to Euston was held in full view of the proceeding Pendolino held at the next signal. This went on for some time with all trains picking up considerable delays with northbound trains also being delayed but less so. 390154 is seen working the 13.32 Euston to Manchester service on the down fast line.
