Making full use of an enormous bank created by the developers of the land off to my right I managed a new angle at a favourite local spot for Northampton railway photographers, Wilson's crossing. With Kingsthorpe in the background, 66539 leads the daily (usually that is!) 6Y62 19.35 Betchley Flyover to Bescot engineering train with 66597 'Viridor' just in sight at the rear. This train is conveying track panels for recycling that have been removed in further preparation for the reopening of the late East-West Rail link.
