57314 & 57316, return leg of The Canterbury Tales Express, Dover-Skipton (1Z81), passing Blisworth from Milton Malsor 
 Having seen the Class 57 hauled outward leg of The Canterbury Tales charter this morning I went out on this super evening to capture its return. However, as can be seen, things have not gone quite to plan! I became suspicious that something was amiss with it running about half an hour late and then being halted on the down slow just south of Hanslope Junction. I then watched helplessly on Open Train Times as signallers set up a path for it to cross on to the down fast thus meaning that it would miss out the loop through Northampton taking the 'old' line via Weedon instead. This is the best picture that I could grab of the charter led (I believe) by 57314 with 57316 at the rear passing Blisworh seen from Milton Malsor with me standing right on the very top of my step ladder!
