Having been waiting on this bridge at Roade for some

time it had become clear that there were problems somewhere south. Indeed, for the second day running there were signalling issues at Milton Keynes with all trains appearing to have been stopped with every signal on OpenTrainTimes showing red. With Sunday evening dinner time fast approaching I was on the verge of heading for home when 5Z64, which had been stationary for ages between Milton Keynes and Bletchley, was on the move again. To make it even more interesting, when the 13.08 Wembley Yard to Burton-ot-Wetmore ECS working got to Hanslope it was put on the fast line to avoid a very congested Northampton I suspect. Now, nearly two hours late, the superb retro. Mk. II set used for railtour duties the previous day are seen passing Roade hauled by a customary smartly presented GBRf 66768.
