150137, 15.36 Newton Heath-Bletchley TMD (5Z51, 19E), site of Roade station Since the reintroduction of the Class 150s on the Marston Vale line between Bletchley and Bedford the units have been 'borrowed' from Northern. Whilst they have been re-branded they still appear to be having to go to and from Newton Heath for weekly servicing and exams. In past years this work was undertaken by Soho and there are still paths for this so perhaps this example is just a unit swap. Either way, it's a poor state of affairs when a railway cannot provide and maintain some units for a local service close to where it works. 150137 is seen passing Roade as the 5Z51 15.36 Newton Heath to Bletchley TMD.
