69008, 16.18 Northampton EMD-Kettering Stabling Sidings (0F62, 1E), Hyde Road bridge 
 The first of two Class 69s to pass through Roade cutting within thirty minutes of each other. 69008 'Richard Howe' runs light engine as the 16.18 Northampton EMD to Kettering Stabling Sidings that will then continue north returning to Leicester LIP depot. Earlier in the day, the 69 had brought a Class 360 from Kettering to Northampton for servicing and an exam. Usually, it would take one back but not today. When this has happened in the past the light engine Class 69 has often returned to Leicester via a dash along the WCML to Nuneaton where it would then reverse and complete its journey through Hinkley and Narborough.
