350117, LM 14.13 London Euston-Birmingham New Street (1Y45, RT), Hyde Road bridge 
 With the Blackthorn still in flower on the embankment, 350117 forms the 14.13 London Euston to Birmingham New Street. It is viewed from Hyde Road bridge in Roade, Northamptonshire. The bridge in the distance is carries the A508 over the railway and just beyond that was the site of Roade station closed in September 1964.

350373, LM 13.02 Crewe-London Euston (1U32, RT), Hyde Road bridge 
 350373 takes the up fast through Roade Cutting about to pass under Hyde Road bridge. It is forming the 13.02 Crewe to London Euston working. I like the low but increasingly strong sun of early spring; it gives a special quality of light that I think really enhances images.

 Having made the short journey from Leicester to Wolverton Works earlier in the day, 47812 leads 319456 and two barrier coaches through Roade near to Northampton. The class 319 had been overhauled at Wolverton Works and was being taken to Loughborough (Brush Works) running as 5M99 for further works before going to Northern Trains.

90042, 09.32 Felixstowe North-Crewe Basford Hall (4M88), Hyde Road bridge 
 Freightliner's 90042 works the well loaded 09.32 Felixstowe to Crewe Basford Hall (4M88) through Roade in Northamptonshire. Having done a spotlight search on my Mac I have discovered that 90042 is my most photographed class 90! I have photographed it regularly for a number of years in a variety of liveries and on a variety of workings.

 66024 brings the daily 14.47 Daventry to Dollands Moor empty cargowagons 6M45 working through Roade Cutting. The picture is taken from Hyde Road bridge in the village just yards from my doctor's surgery. As the train was running a few minutes late I just had time to dash into reception and meet my appointment time!
