From the footbridge at Marholm a short distance north of Peterborough, Azuma 801211 speeds southwards working the 06.00 Berwick-upon-Tweed to King's Cross LNER service. This spot has become a firm favourite with railway enthusiasts and photographers but it loses out on a fair bit of freight that passes tantalisingly close as it takes the much slower and less direct route avoiding the ECML via Spalding, Sleaford, Lincoln and Gainsborough.
