Being a Sunday and with no trains in or out

of Northampton until much later in the day we decided to drive and park at Milton Keynes rather than take the dreaded bustitution option! On arrival at Milton Keynes an engineering train was stationary through the entire length of the station. At the northern end of the Wembley Yard to Bescot train 66004 would lead the train that would be forced to take the Weedon route rather than through Northampton much to the frustration of the drivers of any following Vrgin or London Mdnad drivers!
