Appearances can be deceiving! It may look as if I have struck it lucky at Roade capturing two trains running side by side however, 350254 had been stationary at the signal in front of it for some time and would not move for another twenty minutes or so. The cause of the delay appeared to be a problem handing back the track through Northampton after an overnight possession as this was the first down train of the day, the 08.53 Euston to Crewe service. Of more interest is 57314 'Conwy Castle' leading the 09.03 Euston to Milton Keynes, via a reversal at Rugby, Grand Prix special charter. Passengers aboard the charter were tucking into their champaign breakfasts before being taken by bus from Milton Keynes to enjoy a day at the British Grand Prix.
