37800 & 375925, 09.45 Chaddesden-Ramsgate EMUD (5Q58), Roade Cutting Rail Operation Group (ROG) won the contract to tow the refurbished class 375s back from Derby to their home at Ramsgate. This meant a regular flow of 37 hauled workings that mostly went via the Midland Main Line, traversed the Bedford to Bletchley route and down the WCML through to London and beyond. However, on this Sunday the trip was diverted and came through Northampton. The ensemble is seen here passing through Roade Cutting with 37800 'Cassiopeia' leading 375925.

As Roade Cutting runs approximately North-South some photographic rules have to broken to capture down trains, particularly, like this one, when taken in the winter months!

390043, VT 11.07 Wolverhampton-London Euston (1B13, 6E), Roade Cutting 390043 'Virgin Explorer' heads south through Road Cutting with the 11.07 Wolverhampton to London Euston. To successfully take a picture of an up train on the fast, a portrait shot is best used as in landscape, the composition is too messy. Keywords: 390043 1B13 Roade Cutting
