A freight service that is not normally seen on this route is seen passing Victoria bridge just south of Roade is the 4M85 03.24 Southampton to Trafford Park led by 70017. This is only my third photograph of this particular locomotive such are their few visits to the WCML route. The train was diverted from its more normal route via Didcot, Oxford and Banbury due to the closure of the Nuneham viaduct just north of Culham.
