The 'Beast from the East 2' brought a few more days of cold weather and some overnight snow fall. So, on Sunday morning, I donned my snow boots again and traipsed across the fields from home to get the regular 0Z88 return light engine move following the previous day's railtour hauled by 86259.

 390154 'Mission Accomplished' heads south forming the 11.16 Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston. The remains of some overnight snow adds to the rather otherwise drab scenery. The picture is taken a short walk from where I live near Roade in Northamptonshire.

390049, VT 12.20 London Euston-Wolverhampton (9G12, 7L) & 221106, VT 11.28 Chester-London Euston (1A19, 1L), between Roade & Ashton 
 Virgin Trains pass between Roade and Ashton on the southern WCML. 390049 'Virgin Express' heads north with the 12.20 Euston to Wolverhampton. It is passes 221106 'Willem Barents' forming the 1A19 11.28 Chester to Euston. Willem Barents was a Dutch navigator, cartographer and Arctic explorer who gave his name to the Arctic sea north of Russia and Scandinavia. The waether on Northamptonshire on this particular day was cold and bleak but not to the extent that Willem Barents will have experienced when he was stranded on the island of Novaya Zemlya for a year in 1597!

 390107 'Independence Day Resurgence' passes through the snowy Northamptonshire countryside working the 10.58 Preston to London Euston. By now, I had been standing in this cold field for sometime and I was anxious to make the short walk home!

390115, VT 12.28 London Euston-Glasgow (1S16, 18L), between Roade & Ashton 
 390115 'Virgin Crusader' passes between Roade and Ashton in south Northamptonshire working the 12.28 London Euston to Glasgow Central. I like taking pan shots utilising slow shutter speeds, such as 1/200th sec. as used here. They don't always work but I think that this one has been a success.

86259, 12.40 Acton CS-Rugby CS LE (0Z88), between Roade & Ashton 
 86259 'Peter Pan' (on this side at least!) heads north through the snowy countryside in Northamptonshire between Roade and Ashton. It was working the 12.40 Acton to Rugby Carriage Sidings 0Z88 light engine movement. This follows the veteran 86's railtour duties the previous day. In between such railtours the 86 could be seen sitting rather forlornly in the overgrown carriage sidings at Rugby.
