An hour or so at Victoria Bridge with Andy. As it was a Tuesday, he came over to do some tutoring with my son who was about to sit his GCSE examinations. For some reason that eludes me, we went in Andy's rather ancient and battered but much loved Nissan Serena of 1996 vintage!

350101, LM 12.33 Birmingham New Street-London Euston (1W14, RT), Victoria Bridge
Flaming June; I don't think so! On a miserable and grey day, 350101 passes Victoria Bridge between Northampton and Milton Keynes working the 1W14 12.23 Birmingham New Street to London Euston

Class 221, VT 12.35 Chester-London Euston (1A33, RT), Victoria Bridge
Yet another unidentified class 221 passes Victoria Bridge in Northamptonshire forming the 12.35 Chester to London Euston service. Quite why the set number is hidden so low down rendering it impossible to read from the lineside, frustrates me at times! At least the 390s can be identified from the little number on their carriage roofs near the pantographs.

66415, 12.12 Lawley Street-London Gateway (4L46), Victoria Bridge
Looking a bit bare in its unbranded condition, 66415 passes Victoria Bridge just south of Roade with the 12.12 Lawley Street to London Gateway Freightliner. The livery it's carrying is the the old DRS style but minus all branding. It was actually a Freightliner locomotive so will just be a matter of time before it turns green!

Under ledden skies 66568 heads north past Victoria Bridge just north of Hanslope Junction with the 4M28 09.25 Southampton to Garston Freightliner. Looking at the wagons behind the loco. there appears to be a lot of fresh air being carried along and not a lot of fright!
