Running 'fast' in the second part of its journey, 350265 passes Roade working London Midland's 10.02 Crewe to Euston service. Hard to believe that there was, until 1964, a four-platform station occupying the spot where the Desiro is passing. All platforms were linked by a footbridge approximately where the second electrification pylon is that linked across to a small station building where the greenery is on the far right. The station master's house still stands with its gable end and chimney to the top of the photograph.
