The reporting number of 4E11 has not been mentioned on this website before. This is because it usually runs at night from Felixstowe to Hexthorpe (Doncaster) via Ely, Peterborough and Lincoln. However, due to the complete planned closure of Peterborough due to engineering works it has been forced to make a substantial daytime diversion to Wembley and then north along the WCML to Birmingham and onwards to via Toton, Barrow Hill and Mexborough. Looking in need of a clean, celebrity 66789 ‘British Rail 1948-1997’ leads the train past Roade on a very dull Sunday afternoon.
