London Midland 350101 passes through Roade Cutting on the down fast with the 1U37 13.46 Euston to Crewe working. This was a day of sunshine and showers, one of which had just passed.

66545 & 66516, unidentified down Freightliner, Roade Cutting
I never did manage to work out what this working was! The fact it was double-headed could indicate that it was late running perhaps beacuse of failure? If anybody can let me know what 66545 and 66516 were powering on this day I would be very appreciative.

Class 221, VT 14.10 London Euston-Chester (1D88, 2E), Roade Cutting
An unidentified class 221 powers through Roade Cutting forming the 14.10 London Euston to Chester (1D88). I observe and travel on these five-car units quite regularly and find them totally inadequate both in terms of passenger capacity and general ambiance.

66588, 09.32 Felixstowe North-Crewe Basford Hall (4M88), Victoria Bridge
It's now raining again at Victoria Bridge as 66588 brings the 09.32 Felixstowe North to Crewe Basford Hall Freightliner past. I have visited this spot, just a short distance from my home, in all weather from winter blizzard conditions to high summer and it remains one of my favourites.

09.32 Felixstowe North-Crewe Basford Hall (4M88) & 66014, 14.47 Daventry Wembley LE, Victoria Bridge
It was lucky that the 4M88 09.32 Felixstowe to Crewe Freightliner heading north was lightly loaded as a gap in the boxes allowed a picture of 66014 heading south. 66014 was running light engine as the 14.47 Daventry International Railfreight Depot (DIRFT) to Wembley.
